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 [...]

& other assorted comics chatter: Iron Fist 27: Yes, Danny Rand/Iron Fist will also be a father soon, following in his perennial buddy, Luke Cage/Power Man’s footsteps. Also of note, and implied by my goofy title, is that the mother of said child (and soon to be wife of Danny) is Misty Knight. Now. This [...]

We already know what parallel worlds are like, invasions from them are nothing new. This was just a build [...]

was pretty good, although I found Bianchi’s pencils less impressive than before – figures seemed more..gaunt/gutteral, something like that I guess.

Astonishing X-Men 24 that is. What should have been the final issue of Whedon’s run (and this volume apparently) has been stretched out into Giant Size #1 due out in what, June? Meh.
