Updated: Uncanny Avengers Collecting Guide & Reading Order

December 7, 2017 by krisis

Today I have my first update to a team guide, and it’s a team I have had a love/hate relationship with over the past decade – The Definitive Guide to the Uncanny Avengers!

Don’t need a full reading order right now, but want to know what the Avengers are doing with the X-Men’s “Uncanny” adjective? Keep reading for a brief history, where to start reading, what the team has been up to in 2017, and just how much of it you can own in oversize format.

Updated: The Definitive Guide to Marvel’s Nova

December 5, 2017 by krisis

Today I have an update to a character who Marvel has really transformed in the past decade – The Definitive Guide to Nova!

You might think I’m being tongue-in-cheek about “transformation” since we went from an older, established Nova to an inexperienced kid, but I’m talking about Marvel’s dedication to making Nova into a recognizable, franchise-able hero in a way they never had in his previous 30 years of publishing history.

Don’t need the full guide right now but curious about why I’m so bullish on Nova? Keep reading for a brief history, where to start reading, what Nova’s been up to in 2017, and how much of Nova’s now forty-year-long history Marvel has gathered into collected editions.

Updated: The Definitive Guide to Marvel’s Hercules

November 30, 2017 by krisis

Today I’ve updated the guide of Marvel’s marquee Olympian – The Definitive Guide to Marvel’s Hercules!

Want to learn more about Marvel’s take on the Greek God, but don’t need a rundown of every issue in which he’s made an appearance? Keep reading for a summary of Hercules’ history, a review of what he’s been up to in 2017, and a tally of how many Hercules comics have been collected overall!

Updated: The Definitive Guide to Moon Knight Comic Books

November 28, 2017 by krisis

Today I updated the guide of one of my favorite Marvel characters, as evidenced by my wardrobe on recent episodes of Crushing Comics – The Definitive Guide to Moon Knight!

This update was extra-fun because I love Moon Knight and any excuse to read his issues, but also because I got to correct some continuity confusion to better explain his chronology.

Is this the first time you’ve ever heard of Moon Knight? Or, do you just need a recap before diving in to collecting his comics? Keep reading for an introduction, where the character has been in 2017, and one of my trusty recaps of just how much material you can actually buy in a physical collected edition.

Sorry, I couldn’t resist the pun.

Want a summary on the multiple major Ghost Riders of the past 45 years, a glimpse at what Ghost Riders have been up to in 2017, and a rundown of just how much of Ghost Rider has made into Collected Editions to date? Keep reading!
