And that's just the beginning! Would we lie to you? This is LOKI, true believer - we're lying to you RIGHT NOW!

Review of the Book

I can some up this book in one sentence. How could this book be any better!? I have been looking forward to Loki: Agent of Asgard since it's announcement and I am so glad that I can say, Al Ewing does NOT disappoint! The writing in this issue was absolutely phenomenal! It was hilarious, action packed and still had moments that really made you connect with Loki and warm your heart. From beginning to end I was cracking up with this book. I loved the interactions between Loki and the Avengers, I loved the beginning scene when he is singing in the shower complaining about Midgards music and in my opinion the best part of this book was the narration from Loki and his thoughts. I love that Ewing is bringing Loki down to earth and having him feel like an actual human being who regrets some of his actions in the past (even though he is a god). The art in this book is very typical Marvel-esque in being that it's kind of hard to complain about it. It definitely complemented the writing very well and gave the book a good feel. This is a book to read when you want to laugh, and need something to pick you up and make you feel happy. The ending of issue #1 has been thinking and has me waiting anxiously to see what plays out in the rest of the series. I re-read the book a second time before writing this review so that I could find something that I didn't like about it, and it's a rare occasion but believe it or not, there honestly isn't anything I didn't like about this book. It gave me everything I want out of a comic book. Humor, action, and a gripping story that leaves me wanting more. I cannot wait to see how Ewing follows up this great start to the title and I cannot wait to see what the future has in store for Loki, especially with the twist at the end!

WHY TO BUY AND RATING!

WHY TO BUY!

The writing is exceptional and the art compliments it perfectly. You will get some great laughs, and have a really fun time reading this book. It will leave you wanting more. I promise.

RATING!

10/10(A+) 

*only the 2nd ever 10/10 I have given a book!*

Title: Infinity: New Avengers #012

Price: $3.99

Writer: Jonathan Hickman

Art: Mark Deodato

After saving the world from the builders and the evil Thanos, what is next for the Avengers?

Story Summary(some spoilers)

New Avengers #012 takes place right after the end of Infinity #006 and gives us more of an idea of things to come. Black Panther is banned from Wakana for bringing Namor into the dead city, Dr. Strange has locked himself inside of the Sanctum Sanctorum  and Black Swan promises the Avengers that the Builders and Thanos were just the beginning of something bigger to happen

Review of the Book

This is going to be a short review simply because it's just wrapping up infinity and laying things out for future marvel events. It's a good wrap up book and I am really excited to see what happens in future Marvel events. The art was beautiful yet again, especially the way Black Swan was drawn was just amazing.

Pros, Cons, & Rating 

PROS: Good setup/wrap up book for Infinity and Future events, beautiful art
CONS: Was this book really necessary?

RATING: 7/10. Good book but not 100% necessary

@4theFanMovies

It's official! Elizabeth Olsen has officially joined the cast of The Avengers: Age of Ultron as Scarlet Witch! We found out a while back that Alan Taylor-Johnson will be Scarlet Witch's mutant brother, Quicksilver, and since that announcement much speculation has been going around about who will be playing his sister, Scarlet Witch. We found out through an interview with Samuel L. Jackson that Olsen was, if not already cast, being strongly looked at to play this role. It was announced via Marvel.com earlier this morning that Olsen will indeed be dawning the maroon spandex and head piece.

I have never seen Olsen act before so I am going into this with an open mind and am looking forward to seeing how she will do in this role! Are you excited about the news of Olsen being cast at Scarlet Witch? Or would you have liked to have seen someone else in that role? Sound off below and let me know what you think and whether or not you're excited for The Avengers: Age of Ultron

The Avengers: Age of Ultron is set to be released on May 1st 2015 and stars Robert Downy Jr, Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, James Spader, and Mark Ruffalo

Publisher: Marvel Comics

Title: Avengers #023

Price: $3.99

Writer: Jonathan Hickman

Artist: Leinil Francis Yu

The final Avengers book in the Infinity event and one of the final main titles for the Infinity event, Avengers #023 does not disappoint! We see the Avengers fighting to save earth from the evil tyrant Thanos, with a little bit of help from their com-rads. 

Story Summary (some spoilers)

As the Marvel event Infinity slowly comes to an end, Avengers #023 focuses on Captain America's fleet of Avengers as they prepare to take out Thanos' army. In the beginning of the book Captain America and Iron Man are talking about taking out the army that has attacked Wakanda but Iron Man insists that he has that situation covered and wants Cap to go straight after Thanos. The next thing we see is Cap and the leaders of his formed army discussing how to break through the barricade. As the fleet attacks Thanos' command ship we find that the Avengers and their allies are outnumbered by Thanos' forces and have to send people to the inside. Black Widow takes a small crew with her as they enter the mother ship in an attempt to take it down. Widow and her team are met by the commander, Black Dwarf, who has a small group of soldiers with him. Widow and her team barely survive the fight with the soldiers and are left to face Black Dwarf. As Black Dwarf is about to kill them, Gladiator brings a small team in as backup and destroys Black Dwarf. The book ends with Captain America, Captain Marvel, Thor and others about to head down to earth to take out Thanos and the remaining members of his army.

Review of the Book

Avengers #023 really lives up to what an Avengers book needs to be. A lot of fun action, and an awesome advancement for the event Infinity! The writing from Jonathan Hickman in this issue was very well done and gave us an awesome thrill ride of action and adventure! The art in this issue was also very very well done! I am a very big fan of Yu's art style and love all the books that their art appears in! It's a very realistic style but still carries that perfect amount of  catrooniness that a super hero book needs!

Pros, Cons, and Rating

Pros: Good writing, beautiful art, and is an awesome/fun ride!
Cons: I would have liked to have seen more of the action with the Avengers in space. I.e Spider-Woman, Hulk etc.

Rating: 10/10. This is everything someone would want out of an Avengers book and is a fun ride from beginning to end!
