Hopper Comic Reviews

Avengers Annual 2013 is such a fun read and I highly recommend it to anyone on your Christmas List!! It is a self-contained adventure so you needn't worry about needing to track down more issues, it is Christmas-themed and can become a new tradition to read every year on Christmas Eve, and it is hilarious. Some great Marvel characters are here and the camaraderie, jokes, and spirit make for a wonderful superhero Christmas. This is well worth your money and I highly recommend picking this up!!

Guardians of the Galaxy #9 is one of my three favorite comics right now and this month's issue disappointed me in ways that I did not anticipate. They had the perfect opportunity to re-enter the Marvel landscape through Infinity but were given absolutely no role in the event whatsoever. The art style is leaving a lot to be desired, especially when compared to the previous issues' clean, beautiful style. Star-Lord and the rest of the Guardians had a great story line going and, as per the usual MME protocol, it was put on hold for this unrewarding side quest. Save your money and just wait until next month's issue to get your Guardians fix since it should be back to normalcy.
