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 [...]

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 [...]

So, a couple months back this teaser on the left was floated. On the right is the reveal. So, I called them all except Angel, and only because I saw a quote about Angel being “the last person they would want on this team”. That will teach me to listen to even pretty direct denials. [...]

Uncanny X-Men 525 continues to do exactly what you’d expect it to. Hope throws a tantrum that may spell bad things, not to mention foreshadows a connection to Cyclops (or tosses out a ruby herring – Cyclophoenix??). Other than the tantrum, nothing much happened here – lots of threads were pushed along, but none got [...]

DC just killed the new (non-white) Atom (Ryan Choi) (in some random Titans one shot to show how badass Deathstroke and crew are). Thank gods we still have the old, white Atom to fall back on huh? Because killing of (newish) minority characters that actually headlined a series (even if it was canceled) is always [...]

X-Force 26 : Let’s just get this one out of the way first, because it should be the main marvel book talked about this week. Yes, an X-Man died and yes it was exactly who you should have expected, based on all the blatant foreshadowing and illogical heroicness. No, I don’t think it was necessary [...]

X-Factor 204: Ok, no one thinks those last panels reflect something that actually happened, right? At worst – two dupes in costume, I suppose? Still, hell of a morbid note to end on. It got me thinking about how different comics are these days. So much visible death and blood. Well, I suppose that’s what [...]

There was a bunch of X-Men related news at C2E2 this weekend, so here’s an even more condensed version of what’s up at CBR. X-Force to end and relaunch. Sounds like “Wolverine’s X-Men” meets Secret Warriors. Teaser image below. The guy on the right looks clearly to be Fantomex, it’s suggested in the article that [...]

Ultimate Comics – Enemy 3 : One more issue to go and we still have no idea what’s going on. And the thing is ready to mutate? I always loved the super-rocky thing from the FF of my youth, so hopefully we’ll see that in the Ultimate U. So, while this issue doesn’t really go [...]
