Comic Book Breakdown

Maverick has to escape a dungeon, face Sickle and Omega Red again AND stop Ivan the Terrible from accomplishing his plan in the final two issues of his ongoing series. Join me as I break down Maverick issues 11 and 12.

Maverick's hunt for answers leads him into battle with the assassin called the Confessor. Then, Maverick finds himself in the clutches of Ivan the Terrible once more - and Ivan has some mean plans for the mercenary. Join me as I breakdown issues 9 and 10 of Maverick.

Maverick's ally, Elena, has wanted Sabretooth dead ever since he murdered her mother - with her still in the womb. In Maverick #7, she and Maverick finally face down the vicious killer, but no one walks away from the fight unscathed. In #8, the survivors visit the Johnson household to lick their wounds and turn towards the future.

Thank you thank you thank you so much, for a year of listening to me talk about comic books. Yeah. A whole year already.

Elena has been planning to kill Maverick's old Team X teammate, Sabretooth, since she first appeared. As that battle approaches, a divide appears between her and Maverick, forcing him into a fight with the Blob in issue five. Maverick must then follow Elena's trail as she walks right into Sabretooth's trap in issue six of Maverick.

A brainwashed Maverick heads to Canada to assassinate a witness, but finds Alpha Flight standing in his way in issue three. Vindicator and Puck are the only things standing between Maverick and revenge. Then, in issue four, Maverick must team up with Wolverine to save a young mutant from the bigoted Friends of Humanity. Join me as I break down Maverick # 3 and 4.

Maverick's ongoing series begins! Crimelord Ivan the Terrible has sent his henchmen, Hammer and Sickle, to retrieve Maverick. But the Legacy Virus might kill him before they even get to the door. Join me as I break down Maverick issues one and two.

Maverick's struggle against the deadly Legacy Virus leads him to Chris Bradley, a young mutant struggling with his powers, his own deadly infection, and the general hatred of humanity. But what can Maverick give this young mutant that the X-Men Iceman and Wolverine cannot? Join me as I break down X-Men Unlimited issue 15, our final stop on the road to Maverick's ongoing series.

While the Legacy Virus kills him slowly, Maverick's past hunts him. The villainous Omega Red stalks Maverick's steps, while the alluring Elena Ivanova wants his help killing Sabretooth. Join me as I break down 1997's Maverick one-shot on our road to his ongoing series.

The mysterious Maverick is going to be taking center stage at Breakdown - but first, we need to lay down the groundwork for his ongoing series. Maverick ran with Wolverine and Sabretooth in his days a government operative - but why is he hunting Wolverine now? We return to the '90s so that I can breakdown Wolverine 87 and X-Men Unlimited 8.
