Happy Mid-Week-Mini-Christmas, Geeks and Geekettes! Today we'll be touching on the two big events in the Marvel camp. Of all the Infinity Tie Ins, I felt Avengers #19 seemed the most important, the one that moved the story forward the most, so that's what we'll be focusing on.

Some of those scenes seemed to have a mite-bit of inappropriate touching going on on Ex Nihila's part. But Carol seems to ignore it.) Captain America and Thor approaches the Galactic War Council (which includes The Skrull, The Shi'ar, The Kree, The Negative Zone, The Brood, and the Spartoi) in an effort to pool resources and find a way to stop the Buil...

Just like with the DC reviews earlier, this week I'll be reviewing two Marvel comics. These focus one the two big events going on in Marvel right now; X-Men: Battle of the Atom #1 and Infinity #2. I love nothing but good things to say about Battle of the Atom. It had some moments that made me grin and made me realize how much I'm ready for all this crap to be over with and for the family to patch things up again. Kitty takes the original X-Kiddos out on a routine new-mutant sighting. Things don't go exactly as planned and Scott and his X-Men show up just in time to back up Kitty's group. I loved it. Kitty and Scott don't picker. They don't make snotty comments. They just get shit under control. It was actually pretty heart warming. As a converted Cyclops fan, this issue made my heart stop for a moment. But over all sets us up for a pretty cool little event. Though it does leave me wondering how the hell they're going to explain it. Seems ALL the X-Men are do...

I feel like I should start sending out holiday cards every Wednesday. It sounds like a long title, but it'll catch on. This'll be a thing. Just watch. And now! ON THE COMICS! Writer :Rick Remender Artist: Daniel Acuna This issue was everything I want out of a Marvel comic book. This is what I mean when I say I want a comic meaty. It's got action, it's got some great one-on-one moments between characters, it's even got a moment or two of humor in it, and it progresses the story. It leaves you going "Wait! Wait! No! Two more pages! Just two more!!!" I won't ruin too much here, but while it progresses the story overall, between Wanda, Uriel and Eimin, it also has gives a few pages each to Rogue and Sunfire, Wolverine and (gasp!) Daken, Simon and Erik, Thor and Sentry, an...

It's Wednesday and time for your weekly reviews again! Boy, it's been a busy week, so before we get into our first review, let's recap the week. My review for Cyberforce #5 was noticed and retweeted by the lovely Bridget Silvestri @B_Silvestri), wife of none other than Marc Silvestri (@Marc_Silvestri), comic book creator, writer, artist, and top-cow over at Top Cow comics (@TopCow), whom also retweeted our review of his comic. Needless to stay, there was swooning and fainting and maybe more than a little bragging in the Geekin' camp this past week. If you're not following us on Twitter, you should be!
