Was this entirely through traditional sales?  For a while, the "most popular" comic was the one for City of Heroes because you got a subscription to it when you subscribed to the game.  Therefore hundreds of thousands of people got it without regard to whether or not they wanted it.  Sort of how the game Myst was pimped as the biggest selling game of all time for years...

Cap seems to have a lot of reverence for kings and the notion of inherited right of rule

Not as though I'll be buying it, but I say more power to them.  This looks neat.  As I said, I'm not into it, having read the comic when it came out.  But this is basically the same argument with the movies.  If it brings people to the comics who wouldn't otherwise pick it up, keep at it.  If it's meant as a fan-service to sell more Astonishing X-Merch to the fans, the...

Never said it on the show.  Why should they say "Beam me up, Scotty" in the movie?  I know.  It's a small point.  Still.

Can't wait to see how this shakes out?  I can't wait to see what the next summer Marvel Cosmic event is.  Hopefully, it remains it's own corner and never gets all "Secret Wars" on us, pulling in the Avengers and the rest of Marvel continuity.

You should read "Leave it To Chance."

If you could bring one character from outside of DC Comics continuity into DC Comics continuity, not Marvel, but someone DC should or could have, either public domain, one of the imprints like Wildstorm, etc, who would it be? How would you reinvent them for DC?

I didn't read Criminal.  I heard good things about it, but it's not my bag.  I just don't get into gritty crime dramas.  I picked up Incognito because it was described as classic pulp stories being mixed with noir.  It's not that the guy has superheroes.  This isn't superheroes like Batman or Superman.  My understanding is that it was more like Doc Savage and the ...

I've heard people list Kingdom Come as the end of the above-mentioned Modern Age.  That was sort of about ending the grim and gritty and bringing in the return to the bigger-than-life mythology of comics, but still with the sensibilities and maturing that comics had gained through the Bronze and Modern ages. What I dislike about something being called "Modern" is that eventuall...

It is not surprising that The Dark Knight didn't get the nods.  While it was certainly good and exceeded expectations, it was not without its serious flaws.  And at least one of those flaws is from the thing that ties it to the action movie ghetto.  I mean, the cellphone sonar vision?  That was completely unnecessary.  I get it.  Batman is better than George W. Bu...
