The Revolution has been anxiously awaiting Avengers/Invaders #1 for quite some time. It is no secret that we have fell in love with the what Krueger and Ross have given us over on Project Super Powers. Krueger’s exceptional handling of those Golden Age characters makes me confident that Krueger will do a fine job with the Invaders. Let’s go ahead and do this review for Avengers/Invaders #1.Cre
The Revolution really enjoyed the last issue of Mighty Avengers. Bendis did a fantastic job writing Nick Fury’s character and filling the reader in on the back-story about what Nick has been doing in connection with the Skrull invasion. Mighty Avengers #13 continues to follow Nick Fury as he attempts to deal with the Skrull infiltration. It also appears that we are going to get treated to an all new version of the Howling Commandos. I have a good feeling that Mighty Avengers #13 is going to be a fine read.

-Two-Face, as played by Aaron Eckhart in The Dark Knight Returns, has been revealed, as posted by figures.com. I'm not going to swipe their photo, but you can see it for yourself on the link....assuming it's not removed....I must say...it's pretty disgusting. Keep in mind that Harvey Dent's face is burned with acid, so this seems...fairly believable, I'd say. TWO-FACE-It's the Spirit of Christmas. It's been announced that Frank Miller's rendition of Will Eisner's The Spirit has been pushed up from January 13, to Christmas; THIS year. The movie features Gabriel Macht, Samuel L. Jackson, Scarlett Johansson, Eva Mendes, Sarah Paulson, Stana Katic, Dan Lauria, Jaime King, Paz Vega and Louis Lombardi. A lot of fans are looking forward to this movie, but there are a lot of detractors too, who do
Marvel comics have gave so much to children and adults over the years and thanks to Marvel Studios being formed in the late 1990s, we now get to see many good movies created from those timeless comics and with today’s special effects, they can be something special. The latest big hit is obviously Iron Man [...]

The Revolution has maintained low expectations for Secret Invasion. I am not expecting anything more than a story that is the equivalent of your typical summer blockbuster movie. And so far, this approach has served me well as I have been rather entertained by this Skrull infiltration. I am definitely looking forward to New Avengers #40 since it continues the story that we got over on New Avengers: The Illuminati #1 that came out way back in December of 2006. Talk about a long wait. This should be an entertaining read.

Mighty Avengers continues to be a much better read than New Avengers. And that trend should continue with Mighty Avengers #12. We get treated to a Nick Fury spotlight issue with Mighty Avengers #12.

Chrysler has announced it is recalling of approximately 181,000 Chrysler Sebring and Dodge Avenger models built for the 2007-2008 model year, citing defective electrical connectors as the problem.The faulty connectors are located in the vehicles' tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) and, if unused by the system, will corrode and short out, preventing vehicles from running properly. Various electrical problems may arise as a result of the faulty TPMS connectors such as stalling engines, dead batteries, and failing cruise controls. Dealers have been instructed to fix the TPMS system by sealing the circuits of the unused connectors. Chrysler informed the National Traffic Safety Administration of the recall this week and says that no accidents have been reported as a result of the failings.
It is no secret that The Revolution has been highly unimpressed with the feeble effort that Bendis has put forth on New Avengers. Each issue seems to get duller and more pointless than the last one. New Avengers #39 is a spotlight issue on Echo. Oh, lucky me. We get a spotlight issue on quite possibly the most uninteresting and boring character in the 616 universe. Outside of Bendis and Mack, I do not know of anyone who finds her character fascinating. I’ve certainly never thought Echo’s character was worthy of a roster spot on the Avengers. Oh well, I guess I’ll just have to hold my nose and dive into this review for New Avengers #39.Creative TeamWriter: Brain Michael BendisArtist: David MackInks: Jeff HuetArt Rating: 8 Night Girls out of 10Story Rating: 3 Night Girls out of 10Overa
The Revolution was absolutely stunned and shocked that Bendis delivered such an entertaining read with the last issue of Mighty Avengers. I couldn’t believe that we got an issue that actually moved along at a quick pace, progressed a major plotline, gave us plenty of action and ended the issue with a bona fide hook ending that got me excited for the next issue. For a minute I thought maybe Bendis had gotten replaced as the writer on Mighty Avengers. I can only hope that Bendis keeps this ball rolling and delivers back to back entertaining reads on Mighty Avengers. Let’s go ahead and crank out this review for Mighty Avengers #10.Creative TeamWriter: Brain Michael BendisPencils: Mark BagleyInks: Danny MikiArt Rating: 8 Night Girls out of 10Story Rating: 7 Night Girls out of 10Overall Rat
Mighty Avengers, though not as dreadfully dull and stagnant of a read as New Avengers, still hasn’t been all that impressive. Bendis has delivered a slow and lumbering story on this title. Now that we finally have an artist on board who can keep a monthly schedule and Bendis has finally gotten past the horribly executed Venom symbiote story arc, maybe this title can finally get rolling. If anything else, Mighty Avengers #9 has the potential to deliver a fun action packed read.

Ok, this series is finally going somewhere. After a couple of issues of spinning its wheels with a curtailed Hood story and a lot of monosyllabic fight scenes mixed with ridiculous parenthetical jokes, it seems like New Avengers is at last moving into Secret Invasion territory. Let's have at it.
The capper of the Illuminati title is just as good as the previous issues. Only two problems: Secret Invasion, which this leads into, is months away, isn't it? And what's with the five pages of filler included in every comic marvel shipped this week? Seriously, it didn't do anything for me. I would have been ok with five pages of ads, guys. Give me a backup story, or nothing. Don't half-ass it, Marvel.

Don't believe the naysayers. Bendis is back in action, and although he isn't juggling the subplots very well (i.e. this issue has nothing to do with the big reveal at the conclusion of last issue, except for maybe a page at the end), this is back into acceptably snarky territory. I think the Hood makes a great godfather of crime, and I wish him the best of luck in making trouble for the various Avenger teams he'll have to contend with.
Non mi nascondo dietro un dito: degli episodi in bianco e nero non saprei dirvi nulla, non mi piacevano.

Agente speciale (The Avengers nell’originale inglese) è una serie televisiva britannica degli anni sessanta. Trattava di agenti segreti in un’ambientazione di fantasia. Il programma, prodotto dalla compagnia televisiva Associated British Corporation e ideato da Sydney Newman, è uno dei primi esempi del genere fanta-spionistico o SpyFi che combina trame di spionaggio con elementi fantascientifici.
La serie si compone di 6 stagioni, nelle quali il protagonista John Steed, un agente speciale, è affiancato da una partner nella risoluzione delle indagini, spesso ai confini della realtà. In queste 6 stagioni, John Steed è sempre impersonato da Patrick Macnee. Gli episodi sono stati realizzati in Inghilterra, dal gennaio 1961 al set
I read some bad reviews of Dan Slott's Avengers: The Initiative and didn't believe them. I've never read anything bad from Slott before... but Initiative is awful. It's if Fox News did one hours shows... oh, wait, I guess they do (“24”), so it's kind of a mix of “American Idol,” “24,” and something else awful.Besides the stupid characters--which are most of them--there's also the downright awful ones. These aren't good human beings--they're garbage and there's no point in reading an “American Idol” filled with neo-con garbage. It's actually not propaganda, just because it's not competently written enough. Besides all of Slott's characters either being stupid, bad, or evil (and these are established characters... like Hank Pym), his whole concept is poorly handled. It's a super-hero training camp--ostensibly run by the Avengers--but it's really a military operation. For that aspect, Slott basically lifts from Full Metal Jacket. It might just be me, but cons
Gareth Hunt Star of the hit TV series Avengers has died at the age of 65. he died from pancreatic cancer. In the Avengers Hunt played the part of Mike Gambit with fellow stars Joanna Lumley’ and Patrick McNee, who played the parts of Purdey and John Steed respectively.
Lumley was shocked and saddened by his death and had paid tribute to him by saying he was a “dear friend” and he was “loved by everyone who knew him.” Many who would not remember Gareth from the Avengers would know him for starring in the Nescafe coffee adverts.
His agent had this tatement to say “He fought the disease with great courage and through his strength of character and his wonderful sense of humour he continued to work right up until the end of 2006.”
The roster featured, as revealed by Brian Bendis himself, seems to feature Doctor Strange, but simply put, the Master of the Mystic Arts belongs, if in any team book, in the Defenders. And with the way that Bendis has been writing him recently, I'd say that it'd be better to avoid it.
Spider-Man is still part of the Avengers, but with the way things are going, I'm really not interested, and Spidey, as past history has shown, is better off working alone than in a team title.
Here's another gem from my collection that I'll write about, that being the fondly remembered West Coast Avengers, spinoff of the Mighty A's series over on the east coast, when Ben Grimm, aka the ever lovin' blue eyed Thing, almost joined the team in California during the time he was estranged from the rest of the Fantastic Four in the mid-80s.
So, we begin with the scene where Ben is taking pictures with Hawkeye and a few of the others who made up the WCA roster at the time, as Clint Barton and his then wife Bobbi Morse, aka Mockingbird, were looking for at least one more member to fill the space within a limit that had been imposed by the government at the time, where only as many as six superheroes could be part of the Avengers teams at the time (Firebird, who'd been with them a short time, had to depart). With Ben Grimm hanging out in Los Angeles at the time as part of a wrestling arena that the second Ms. Marvel, Sharon Ventura, was also involved with, Hawkeye offered him
