  • The Problem with Secret Warriors

    Posted on Friday November 20th, 2009 at 07:55 in art, marvel, nick fury, secret warriors

    Secret Warriors wants to be a good book. Marvel wants it to be one of those books which, like the Bendis-penned Avengers titles, really 'matters' in the shared universe. Jonathan Hickman appears to want it to be a Nick Fury book.And you know what?If ...

    Posted on Tuesday November 10th, 2009 at 11:58 in art, howard chaykin, marvel, dominic fortune

    Over on his blog, Joe Bloke posted the first issue of Atlas/Seaboard's The Scorpion -Does the Scorpion look familiar at all?I immediately posted on the blog that he looked a hell of a lot like Marvel's Dominic Fortune -- only to discover that Howard ...

  • Ladronn\'s Cable

    Posted on Friday November 6th, 2009 at 08:19 in art, cable, marvel

    I was using www.stashmycomics.com last night - see, www.collectorz.com, that's what you get when you won't release a mac version of your comic collecting software and I need to transfer all the info from my PC! -and I came across Ladronn's Cable run....

  • A Brutal Week #4 : Guardians of the Galaxy

    Posted on Tuesday November 3rd, 2009 at 10:37 in art, marvel, guardians of the galaxy

    The reason that I started this series of posts on the past week's comics was because of Guardians of the Galaxy #19. While any deaths in a comic that has been featuring time travel as heavily as this has in recent issues are obviously suspect - espec...

  • Fall of the Whonow?

    Posted on Monday November 2nd, 2009 at 15:12 in art, hulk, x-men, marvel, ed mcguinness

    Newsarama posted a preview of the upcoming Fall of the Hulks: Alpha earlier - - and although I'm sure this will be the equivalent of a Michael Bay movie, what with Loeb on board, I can't help but think, 'I like Michael Bay movies, they're awesome.'So...

  • A Brutal Week #3: Dark Reign The List Punisher

    Posted on Monday November 2nd, 2009 at 12:12 in art, marvel, punisher, john romita jr, daken

    I'm never entirely comfortable when the Punisher operates in the Marvel U proper; I think he's usually diminished somewhat. After all, he can't really kill too many well known characters and he's completely outclassed when he goes after the real vill...

  • Who\'s the Monster?

    Posted on Tuesday October 27th, 2009 at 08:19 in art, world war hulk, hulk, wolverine, greg pak, marvel, daken, skaar

    I had a brief Twitter conversation recently about how absolutely perfect the characterization of Banner is in the current run of Incredible Hulk, but on retrospect I don't so much think it's a perfect representation of who the character has been in t...

  • What is it about a bow?

    Posted on Friday October 23rd, 2009 at 11:51 in art, avengers, warren ellis, marvel, thunderbolts, brian bendis, ms marvel

    Oh, Karla... I always liked her. Admittedly, not so much when she was a member of the Masters of Evil, wore a dorky white helmet, tried to play Baron Zemo and then got her neck broken because she forgot not to fly head-first into a wall...but aside f...

    Posted on Saturday October 10th, 2009 at 09:00 in art, superman, atom, firestorm, jla, poison ivy

    via comicartcommunity.com Is it wrong that I'd rather read about Rafael's JLA more than Robinson's JLA? Posted via web from Comic By Comic's Wonderous Posterous! ...

    The December Marvel solicits (which are up on Super Pouvoir) includes a benefit book for Marvel cover artist Ed Hannigan (one can only assume his bwork won't be included).Hannigan designed the great Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe covers -- ...

  • Pleasantly surprised

    Posted on Thursday September 3rd, 2009 at 08:11 in art, dc, jla

    I haven't had a chance to read everything I picked up yesterday, although I was pleasantly surprised by Justice League: Cry for Justice #3 - even if Hal, Ray, Ollie and Supergirl all came off as completely out of character, and I still think that the...

  • Finally, Planetary #27 is coming...

    Posted on Monday August 31st, 2009 at 15:51 in art, warren ellis, wildstorm, john cassaday, planetary

    ...as previewed over at The Bleed. Huh, I didn't even know Wildstorm had a blog.Anyway.It's funny, but this page -- where Drummer talks about theoretical implications of time travel, sounds like it's straight out of Robert Sawyer's excellent FlashFor...

  • Dance, little Pyg, dance!

    Posted on Friday August 28th, 2009 at 07:35 in art, Batman, Robin, dc, grant morrison, frank quitely

    Batman and Robin has been quite amusing so far. It's always fun to see a good artist try and make a coherent comic out of Grant Morrison's stories, and Frank Quitely has a good stab at it, leading to a book that's fun and readable. When Phillip Tan t...

  • Spider-Man's One Night Stand

    Posted on Thursday August 6th, 2009 at 10:22 in art, spider-man, joe quesada, marvel

    So when Joe Q said all that stuff about Spider-Man being easier to relate to for kids when he's not married to a gorgeous model and everything......what he actually meant to say was that Spider-Man's easier to relate to for kids when he's having drun...

  • No.

    Posted on Wednesday August 5th, 2009 at 08:36 in art, dc, superboy, black lanterns

    via dcu.blog.dccomics.com No, no, no, no, no. I have no desire to see Superboy Prime again anytime soon, especially after his writing out at the end of Legion of 3 Worlds, which quite obviously smacked of Alan MooreGrant Morrison*'s Animal M...

  • Spike #1 Cover

    Posted on Monday July 27th, 2009 at 16:55 in art, angel, spike, idw

    via Brian Lynch I jumped off the Angel book following the close of After the Fall as, to be honest, I thought it was convoluted and not particularly good - but damned if I don't like this cover to the new Spike series... Posted via web ...

  • THE LOSERS poster

    Posted on Friday July 24th, 2009 at 11:18 in art, movies, the losers

    via comicbookresources.com An adaptation of Jock's cover for The Losers #12 to reflect the actor's likenesses - and it's adapted by Jock himself (you can see some process here) I have to say (1) I love the poster, and (2) I'm looking forward t...

    Google's front page is graced by Jim Lee's artwork today - which means that it will be the most seen art of his career (well, probably).And it's DC-centric.I bet Marvel's kicking themselves.(Click pic to embiggen) ...

  • DV8 #1 Variants

    Posted on Thursday July 23rd, 2009 at 09:33 in art, wildstorm, variants, dv8

    The recent announcement of the return of DV8 got me all nostalgic about the original series which, unfortunately, is on the other side of the Atlantic from me right now.So instead I decided to run all the covers from the original DV8 #1 (plus I had n...

  • Millar & Hitch's FF - Out with a whimper

    Posted on Wednesday July 22nd, 2009 at 11:32 in art, fantastic four, mark millar, marvel, bryan hitch

    via newsarama.com I notice that the finale to Mark Millar and Bryan Hitch's much-touted Fantastic Four run is finishing up with #569 - written by Mark Millar and Joe Ahearne with pencils by Stuart Immonen and a cover by Bryan Hitch. I think that...

  • DV8 Returns!

    Posted on Thursday July 16th, 2009 at 12:41 in art, wildstorm, dv8

    via comicbookresources.com I loved DV8 back when it came out under Warren Ellis and Humberto Ramos - it was dark, funny, sadistic and a little bit ahead of its time - so this Brian Wood relaunch intrigues me. Thing is, I'm not really up to speed wi...
