May 23, 2012 9:55 am Try any issue of "X-Men" or said related mutant books where a new mutant (or a New Mutant) is actively being recruited/discovering he or she has powers. I don't know if you've noticed, but the Marvel comic book universe is kind of jam-packed full of stories about ostracized teenagers. I suppose, then, the question would be for your proposed scenario: would a metaphorical story get the job done?
May 23, 2012 9:52 am I'm gonna regret asking this, but... isn't Northstar dead? Very, very dead? But I guess that "Wolverine" issue by Millar is now years beyond the statute of limitations on comic book mortality.
May 20, 2012 11:28 pm My college students had no idea who Calvin & Hobbes are. But they DID recognize the (non-licensed) image of the little blonde kid with the striped red shirt peeing on everything. I paid my entire H&C collection to my nephew a few years back. Great move.
May 17, 2012 9:14 am In the next panel, Lt. Tatem immediately followed up his question about the mask with, "And seriously: the briefs? You're a grown man, for Pete's sake."
May 15, 2012 1:34 pm Josh, I believe the proper line delivery there is: "Could it BE any more milked?" Which, understandably, doesn't roll off the tongue.
May 1, 2012 6:36 pm Joss Whedon has a writing credit on "Toy Story". Therefore, he ALWAYS gets the benefit of the doubt.
April 26, 2012 3:01 pm Agent Coulson is awesome. And so is Clark Gregg. That is all.
April 26, 2012 2:42 pm Really interesting stuff. Then I remember I've hated just about everything Morrison's written that I've read and kinda tune out.
April 24, 2012 3:49 pm We're past the days of the ongoing series for characters like these. Every once in awhile, put a crackerjack creative team on a 6-issue or 8-issue limited series of "Runaways" and the like, let that run a critically acclaimed course, get the Hardcover and TPB out within a year, and do another mini three or four years later. Treat it like the movie industry, essentially.
April 19, 2012 1:22 pm I'm buying weeklies for the first time in about three years because of AVX. Love the concept, and it's the best use of the Phoenix Force since the original Phoenix Saga. And I think putting out books that JUST have the brawls in it makes the most sense of any event tie-in I've seen in years.
