(Quick Review) Comics: Avengers 1-16, New Avengers 1-8

Quick Review: Harvest 1-5 (Image 2012-2013)
Interesting premise pulled off pretty well: A surgeon gets caught up in high priced organ theft and transplant, after he himself is caught accidentally killing people while high.

new (to me) music
I have bought several CDs over the last couple days (yes, I am old and still like to buy CDs). I listen to a ton of stuff off podcasts, soundcloud, and other places, but I find very little of it motivates me to buy a CD (or download) the way that a new album from…
