Currently Reading: The New Avengers vol #8 and White Tiger

I decided to switch course by reading a couple of older Marvel books.

I know I read more DC Comics than Marvel but that's mainly because DC was some of the first comics I read but not far behind was Marvel with X-Men.



Book: The New Avengers volume #8: Secret Invasion book #1 (issues #38-42) by Brian Michael Bendis 

Illustrations by Michael Gaydos, David Mack, Jim Cheun and Billy Tan
 
Color by Jose Villarrubia and Justin Ponsor

Description:

The Avengers are trapped in the Savage Land, battling friend and foe. And Spider-Man heads to the one person in the entire place he knows he can trust: Ka-Zar! But is it really him? This important chapter rewinds the events of the very first New Avengers story and shows how it connects to the Invasion. Plus: the break up of Jessica Jones and Luke Cage; a major development in the life of Echo; and the story of how the Skrull empire was able to infiltrate the Marvel Universe, and who instigated the invasion - and why!




Book: White Tiger: A Hero's Compulsion (issues #1-6) by Tamora Pierce and Timothy Liebe

Illustrations by Phil Briones with Alvaro Rio and Ronaldo Adriano Silva (issue #6)
 
Color by Chris Sotomayor

Description:

Angela del Toro knows pain: Her uncle -- Hector Ayala, the former White Tiger -- killed. Her FBI partner, murdered. Her career, ruined. Her mentor, Matt Murdock, jailed. And the hurt is just beginning. The Yakuza's bloodthirsty Sano Orii returns, a genocidal shadow organization appears, and a new-but-old super-powered madman is looking to put the squeeze on White Tiger. Armed with mystical amulets -- and finally in costume -- White Tiger demands answers! But will she survive long enough to ask the right questions?
