Avengers Assemble: Their History Told In The Gorgeous Ultimate Guide To Earth’s Mightiest Heroes!
One of the things I like the most about the summer blockbuster season is all of the cool stuff that ties in with a big movie. I’m specifically talking about books. Sure, there’s McToys for McMovies or Big Gulp Cups featuring your favourite hero or villain (collect ‘em all, whydoncha?). But really, my thrill is always the DK books that come out to tie in with the big flicks. Case in point, the publisher’s latest Avengers themed book, The Avengers: The Ultimate Guide To Earth’s Mightiest Heroes! Or, as I’m thinking of it, the Encyclopedia Avengers.

Avengers Assemble – Glenn Walker’s Pre-Movie Jitters
First off, if you had asked me a decade ago, two decades ago, even three decades ago, hell, let’s go there, I’m that old, or four decades ago, if I would ever live to see such an animal as an Avengers movie – a real mainstream big screen epic summer blockbuster Avengers movie – I would have laughed at you. And I am one of the biggest Avengers fans you’ll ever know. It is just not something I would have even dreamed possible. Add in the fact that it would be preceded by two Iron Man movies, two Hulk movies, a Thor, and a Captain America movie, and that it would have its own internal continuity – my mind would be blown.

Titanic Teams Collide In The Comic Stop: AvX:VS #1
What happens when there’s just too much action for one series to contain? If you’re talking about Avengers Vs X-Men, the huge miniseries that Marvel Comics has been building up to for nearly a year, you create a separate series of rock ‘em, sock ‘em action called AvX: VS.
Titanic Teams – Gone But Not Forgotten Teams of the Marvel Universe
When you think super-teams in the Marvel Comics universe, the Avengers come to mind immediately, followed quickly by the Fantastic Four, the X-Men and half a dozen others. I’m going to delve a little deeper, and take a journey into the forgotten corners of the Marvel Universe. Here’s a look at some of the forgotten teams of the Marvel Universe.
Titanic Teams: Avengers Vs X-Men, Comixology and Marvel – The Perfect Digital Revolution
If you’re a comic book lover (and if you’re reading Biff Bam Pop I’m guessing you do love your comics), you likely know that it’s a huge day for Marvel Zombies like myself, thanks to the release of the first issue of Avengers Vs X-Men. Marvel has been teasing this massive event for months now, so it’s pretty exciting to finally be able to see the teams get ready for battle. If you’re going to read the issue, and I recommend you do (the script from Brian Michael Bendis hits all the right note and the art by John Romita Jr is solid), you really want to make sure you check out the digital version available at comixology.com or via the comixology App.
It’s pretty much the future of comics.
