Marvel Comics

Throughout April I’ve been asking people to read Avengers: Rage of Ultron so we could discuss it as part of the How to Love Comics Book Club! Let’s jump into the discussion.

One character we’ve only seen glimpses of in the promotions for Avengers: Age of Ultron is The Vision. Having been a part of the Avengers sporadically since his debut in 1968, a lot of people still don’t have a sense of who he is or what he’s about. So just for our readers here is a little bio on one of the more unique Avengers so you don’t go into the movie completely blind. Who knows, The Vision could be your newest favorite comic hero!

The Secret Wars Reading Order Guide is a guide to Marvel’s big event, listing all of the tie-ins as well as the creators and months of release for each issue. This list will be updated regularly as new information and issues come to light.

We take a look at why you should read Mark Waid’s take on the Man Without Fear and how it compares to other classic interpretations.

A handy reading order for all of those who want to read Jonathan Hickman’s Avengers/New Avengers run but don’t know what to read.

With Avengers fever starting to ramp up in anticipation for Avengers: Age of Ultron I decided that this month’s Book Club should join in on the fun. That’s why April’s Book Club book is the freshly released Avengers: Rage of Ultron graphic novel that’s just hit stores this week. This original hardcover graphic novel from Marvel should act as a good primer to get seasoned Avengers fans excited for the movie while introducing newer fans to the robotic villain Ultron.

With a new costume and a new direction Spider-Woman #5 looks to be a good jumping on point for those curious about the character. Take a look inside to find out more about this new chapter in the life of Jessica Drew as well as a preview of this issue.

As crossovers can be confusing I have created the Guardians of the Galaxy & X-Men: The Black Vortex Reading Order Checklist to make reading this huge story easier. This list will include all of the titles you will need to read as well, list dates and lead-up issues.
