@ohcarline: Brubaker killed Corsair AND Banshee in the span of a year or so, and for no reason I ever really understood. And THEN War of Kings killed off Lilandra. Something about that corner of the X-world made somebody say, "Clear the decks!" a few years ago. Meanwhile, all those no-name teenage mutants are walking around Utopia like they own the place.

I won't say Spider-Man has been disengaged during Dark Reign, but he has certainly handled Norman's rise to power better than I would in his place. I suppose he has gotten used to the world dumping on him. Still, they've gotten me to the point now where I forget Norm was ever a Spider-Man villain. Can you imagine forgetting the Red Skull was a Cap villain?

Everyone sounds so excited, now I have to go see if CW has some kind of Hulu equivalent.

@edward: yes, you are entitled to that opinion. But now you are on your second post discussing the discussion. If it's a waste of time, then what on earth is this? If it's a waste of time, why are you back in the thread again> As for this week of ads: Bendis' run on the Avengers has been the first one in my life that ever interested me. Ever since I was a kid, I have been trying the book a...

We iFanmen have talked about this privately on a number of occasions: I have definitely had to drop creators from Twitter because their personalities were making me hate books that used to be among my favorites before I "got to know" the people behind them. I have a very hard time separating art from artist. In fact, every time I read Criminal, I hear Ed Brubaker in my head reading t...

I'm no artologist, but when I saw Roux's sample pages above, I initially thought, "Is that Cho or Dodson?" From me, this is high praise. That having been said-- and I am going to do my best not to be a buzzkill here-- is Paul Dini actually going to write this book? I was really enjoying his run on Detective many moons ago, until that way-too-soon virtually unannounced fill-in issue ...

I've always heard about how amazing Paul Pope is, but this is the first time anyone has ever really made the case to me specifically how/why he is amazing. He has just been promoted from "maybe I'll look into that one day" to "I have to get a look at this guy's books." Thanks, Mike!

I'm by no means ready to make a pick, officially, but I do know this was the first book I ran to read and cannot imagine anything left in my stack having a bigger impact.

Speculating about a rumor is just good times 'round the water cooler. Now, pausing to talk about how no one should be talking about it...?

I always look forward to Invincible, and this looks like the culmination of some threads that have been weaving in and out of the book for years. Counting the days. At the same time... does "the return of the classic costume" really merit this kind of treatment? Have people really been vocally clamoring for Mark to change shirts?
