The Trench Reynolds Report

  • Trench on Captain America being an alleged nazi

    In case you haven’t heard by now at the end of Marvel’s new comic Steve Rogers: Captain America #1 it’s revealed in the very last panel that Cap is supposedly an agent of Hydra. The series’ writer has even gone on record as saying, he’s not mind controlled, he’s not a Skrull, he is Steve…

  • A love letter to Mark Waid’s run on Daredevil

    This is a great post from The Nerdist bidding a fond farewell to Mark Waid’s run on Marvel Comics’ Daredevil. Usually I’m not a fanboy to certain writers. I’m more inclined to avoid a comic if it’s done by a certain writer, for example anything written by Frank Miller after The Dark Knight Returns. However…

  • Marvel Comics to reboot their universe

    Recently it was announced that Marvel Comics will be rebooting their fictional universe with the upcoming Secret Wars storyline much like DC Comics did in 2011 with Flashpoint and the New 52, At first, much like I did in 2011, I was worried that some great stories would become non-canon like the death of Gwen…

  • Comic of the Week: Daredevil #7

    I haven’t done a comic of the week recommendation in a while because frankly, nothing has really blown my skirt that much lately in the world of comics, until today. Mark Waid’s run on Daredevil has been nothing short of excellent and issue #7 of the current run should be looked upon as a classic…

  • Falcon to become Captain America

    Not to be outdone with making Thor a woman, Marvel Comics has also made it known that the superhero known as The Falcon will be replacing Steve Rogers as Captain America. Apparently the reason this is newsworthy is that Falcon is black so we’ll have a black Captain America. I’m sure there will be some…

  • Thor to be a woman

    So Marvel announced today that the mantle of Thor will be taken up by a female character soon. I’m taking a wait and see approach to this because the last time there was this much nerd outrage at Marvel Comics it was when they replaced Peter Parker with Doc Ock as Spider-Man and that was…

  • Review of Superior Spider-Man #1

    For the story so far check out my review of Amazing Spider-Man #700 and yes here there be spoilers. I really liked this issue. I love how the Doc Ock controlled Spider-Man was not only annoyed that someone else would dare call themselves the Sinister Six but how effectively he dealt with them and how…

  • Review of Amazing Spider-Man 700: Peter Parker dies

    I know what you’re saying. “Trench. two comic posts in a row? Have you gone insane?” Possibly but that’s beside the point. Every once in a while a comic book makes mainstream news. The last time it was Action Comics #900 when Superman supposedly renounced his American citizenship. This time it’s Amazing Spider-Man 700, the…

  • Review of Captain America: The First Avenger

    So far this was the best on-screen adaptation for Captain America. I know that’s not saying much but still. All in all, it was ok. I liked the new take on the Cap/Bucky relationship with Bucky being the mentor instead of Cap. My main concern with this movie is that just about the entire cast…
