January 23, 2012 6:47 pm i hope he closes with "whats wrong with you: whats wrong with you". that or Freebird.

January 23, 2012 8:07 am does that mean we can expect a "What's wrong with you: everything" in the near future?

January 19, 2012 2:42 pm i believe "how do we win back Mike Romo" was one of the topics at the latest marvel retreat. bendis said "who's mike romo?" and then tweeted about powers remender and aaron said "what do you mean get him back" and high fived breevort said "kill him and polybag him" alonso said give him his own custom spiderman cover seriously mike, if they offer the spidey cover, take it!

January 18, 2012 12:31 pm to add a bit from his pre dc days, captain atom was co-created by steve ditko with writer joe gill in 1960, making him older than marvel comics. the red and yellow alex ross redesign is an homage to ditkos original red and yellow outfit. DC did an archive edition of the early stories a while back. Prior to dc, americomics licensed the charlton characters, but atom only appeared in Americomics Special #1 from 1983 the cay bates pat broderick series was good stuff.

January 17, 2012 1:36 pm i dont mind the new logo. its very corporate, simple and modern, which is why so many hate it but i have no problem with corporate, simple and modern. i agree about the difficulties in having a logo that depends on gradients etc, but a majority of its uses should have no problem with printing. i imagine it looks better animated where you see the peel. marvel has been using a simple condensed bold sans serif white font in a red box for years, nothing special to speak of and certainly doesnt scream comics. hasnt hurt their brand apparently. it would have been nice to have this at the relaunch, (along with a whole new approach to cover design) but then it would be extra haterade on top of new costumes, new continuity, new logos and new creative teams. i wonder if this just wasnt ready in time, or if it gives any credence to the rumor that the relaunch was supposed to happen later (new 52 for a new year?) or if its all just a way to stay at the top of the news. i dont know about you but id pay $$ to see the endless stream of rejected logos, the evolution up to this and the notes that were a part of it. having been a part of too many identity redesigns and the endless overabundance of cooks it entails, it would be a perverse thrill to see the bullshit from the outside for a change also, the font is called Gotham!

January 17, 2012 1:25 pm the graphic above is incomplete, there have been several logos without stars. m http://www.wired.com/geekdad/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/DClogos.jpg

January 14, 2012 7:13 pm all holier than thou smugness aside, im starting to like the idea of an ifanboy drinking game. one for listening to episodes. every time hickman, remender or snyder is mentioned take a drink everytime someone says josh hates fun take a drink middle management skull, post coital thor, down the rest of your drink things like if the ifanboy pick of the week matches the community pick take a drink, etc etc, we could devise a solid list. i think it could be fun, ive done them with star wars and star trek, and had a good time.
