All New Avengers Now

As you may have noticed Marvel is starting this year off with their All New Marvel Now. They are restarting some series with new jumping on points. With this comes the end of some series and the beginnings of all new ones. See what I did there. Last December (2013) they started us off with Avengers Volume 5 24/ Volume 6 #1. At least I think it counts as volume 6. I haven't quite figured that out yet. Maybe this isn't the start yet and its just Rogue Planet #1. Never the less I picked this up last week, on Sunday as I now keep a journal of what I pick up. Monday night right around midnight I got the urge to read it.

Thankfully this comic came with a digital edition that I had already claimed on Marvels website. Surprisingly it came with a little something extra. Marvel is including an instant collection with many of their .Now titles.  For free I got a collection of some of the first 6 Avengers books in Marvel Now. It also came with a copy of the Wolverine online comic of course.

So down I laid in my bed to read comics on my phone. This is actually the first full, non promotional, comic that I have read on my phone using the guided reading option. I would have to say that it was definitely a good read. A fun read. It started off very lightheartedly with everybody partying. I always love seeing superheroes acting more like regular people. Probably has something to do with why I enjoy super heroes that are, somewhat, regular people. This is why I freaking love Hawkeye, but everybody loves Hawkeye.

It seemed good enough as a comic reader for a starting point. I feel like I wouldn't be too lost coming into this. Given that I haven't kept up with things that weren't Constantine I guess I was in position to be lost. It referenced events that I had read back in the Spring and things that I must have missed but none of it seemed like it was too far over my head. I was well aware of the bits with the Illuminati but they caught me up in a few panels anyways. This issue is definitely the set up for more than just the Rogue Planet arc that it is the first of. Maybe after I read the first few comics over I'll have even more of a grasp of what is going on. As long as I don't have to read any more Secret Avengers again. The healing bullets was a terrible story.

Alright. On to some blog stuff. I think its time for a reintroduction and a clarification of intentions. I literally do this blog for my own health. I'm trying to use my mind so I can keep it "sharp". I, for now, do not monetize the blog. If I do put advertising on the page it will not be text link advertising. I enjoy adding links to my blog so that you can get a better idea of what I am talking about from time to time. I'm trying to get better at writing, however I won't let it become a stressful endeavor. Sometimes I will just write a blog like I was drunk if I don't have the time to devote the metal attention it needs. I love to hear feedback from you guys especially if it is just to grammatically correct me. I will do a lot of sharing my personal experiences that involve comic books. I won't necessarily be critiquing comic books on my page. I don't have the koalafications to do that. I will constantly try out new things. Most of them won't work out well.

This is my hat.

I'm going to try to standardize my posts like I did before with a new addition.

On Tuesdays I'm going to have Filler Tuesdays. These will be used mostly to ramble about something that is somewhat comic book related or to talk about back issues that I have just gotten around to reading. This is the day that I will likely do the most talking about what is going on around the blog and with my life in general. Get ready to hear stuff about bikes and my job.

One Thursdays I will have the weekly review. Wednesday I'll pick up my comics and read them and by Thursday morning/afternoon I should have it posted up. Rainy days can easily put delays in this post as I primarily ride a bicycle. I'll admit that I just misspelled bicycle. I am ashamed. You just don't know that I fixed it. Well now you do. You also don't know that this is the second draft of this post. The fist write up was not very good.

On Saturdays I'm going to have my Heroclix Saturday posts. I might just post about what I have been up to in Heroclix or I will likely talk about how Heroclix has gotten me into this comic book or that one. Sometimes I'll just take the time to reiterate marvle.wikia at you about a particular character. Saturday posts are not guaranteed as writing 3/4 blogs a week might be a bit beyond my talents.

Other than that I might write up random posts and post them but likely I'll save them to fill in a slot when I'm behind on writing something for a post. Also I might share my list of comics that I purchased along with where and when since I'm keeping a record of it now. Might turn out to be a page of its own. By now you should have noticed my hat on the side. I like blogs that are filled with pictures. So hat. Got that shiznit for a dolla at the thrift store. Pff. What you know about rocking a wolverine on your noggin Macklemore?

So whats coming up next on Comics In Particular?

Next week you can look forward to me talking about the Marvel: Puzzle Quest game on steam. I'll have had a week to play it and then I can ramble on about that. Also a new Constantine will come out along with some more ANMN.

This week? Well basically nothing from DC. This just isn't a week I want to read anything on the list. Marvel has a few ANMN comcis that will be beginning that I'll be picking up. Links with pics below. Please forgive me that I am still bad at arranging pictures on the blog. Fantomex I'll save for a post on the mini series as a whole. So basically expect more talking about .Now. Hopefully I'll also be picking up the rest of the Longshot Saves the Marvel Universe books if they came in. Got some Harley Quinn books to write about soon too so DC has its time coming. On Saturday we will face the Serpent at my local Comic shop.
