So all the covers are up, and some of them are a bit confusing. I’d almost think I’m too old to weigh in on stuff like this – but these would have been some deep questions when I was 12, so I guess inner 12 year old me has something to say. Let’s just go [...]

I know I haven’t been posting much but *hey* I still exist. Some of you may remember me from such posts as by 2010 iMM post and it’s grandpa-cousin: 2007 iMM. So. Avengersland : Looks pretty similar to last year, aside from some changes to the Avengers Academy group: Luke Cage : Still doing his [...]

The full spread: Breakdowns: Since Fantomex was the final reveal, the only surprise here is that Wolverine is not on the cover – I’d assume he’s still on the team? If not, it might be a bit more interesting. AoA Nightcrawler was the only real curveball, and I think he was the first reveal. Looks [...]

Alright, now that the rosters (at least for the initial covers) for the post-Schism/ReGenesis/whatever blue team(s) are out, here are my thoughts (because I know you care): Here’s the full cover-merge spread: And the breakdown/zooms: I have to say that I’m really not feeling Shaw anywhere in an X-Book. I never found him to have [...]

No, not this one: Or this one: Or even Wolverine Origins #14 or Wolverine: Weapon X V1 #14 OR Wolverine: Weapon X V2 #14! None of those. I’m talking about the most recent one (V3 I think… maybe V4 depending on how you count), this bad boy: OK, now that that is clear. On to [...]

In the Bleeding Cool interview about his new Teen Titans & Superboy books here, he says something I agree with (bolding is mine): We seem to have a relatively diverse cast – 7 people, three women, three from ethnic minorities. Is this kind of mix important to you and what kind of stories does [...]

Preview of their first issue (25) up here, but unfortunately sans text. The interior art looks… so-so, not horrible or experience ruining but it’s not blowing me away. But that cover…. Emma Frost &…is that X-23 on the right? One of the dead Hellions (Catseye?)? Whoever they are that’s a solid cover (although Emma’s face [...]

So, in my spare spare time (yes, I meant that exactly as I typed it) I’ve been going through some old (90s, generally) comics that I’ve either forgotten or missed the first time around. First up on my list is the Milestone stuff. Yeah, all of it. I’m starting with Icon, but planning to work [...]

This interview is encouraging. I’ve been mulling over canceling some of my long running comic subs for a while now… I haven’t come to any final decisions yet, but the interview with Gillen (of Phonogram & S.W.O.R.D. fame) has somehow made me feel a little more comfortable about continuing to shell out my $4 a [...]

In which I take stock of what Marvel’s minority characters and writers have been to up recently. Looks like I skipped ’08 & 09, so this one may stretch back a bit further than January 10. Here’s my take on ‘07. Marvel is down to zero ongoing series with black writers as far as I [...]
