I was hesitant about the Superman books being sans-Superman for a year, but if this series is going to be…

What a disappointment. I was looking forward to the return of Mockingbird. I loved West Coast Avengers as a kid,…

June 10, 2011 12:25 pm If The Powers That Be at Marvel do decide to make an art change with the renumbering of Uncanny, may I suggest Rebekah Isaacs to trade off arcs with McKelvie? Her art is similar enough to create a unified aesthetic. She recently drew the Brian Wood DV8 mini. 
November 9, 2010 10:59 am Great interview, Paul! I love Stephanie Brown and Bryan Q Miller's Bagirl series. This is one the best ongoing super-hero titles out there. Now that DC has dropped the price of books back to $2.99, I highly encourage those of you not reading this book to re-invest some of the savings from your monthly stack in this book. Those of you that like Spider-Man (particularly classic stories or Ultimate Spidey) will probably like this.

I picked this book up b/c the Milestone characters were making a comeback. Too bad their return was "heralded" by mediocre art and some of the worst writing in mainstream comics. I can't believe DC continues to leave this creative team on what should be a flagship title.

As excited as I was for more diversity in the DCU, this comes as a terrible disappointment. I've never been a fan of Benes. Maybe he's not bad, he's just not my style. Everyone seems too posed all the time, with no more than two body shapes (hot male and hot female). At least that's one more character type than McDuffie seems capable of writing. I don't think there is a single thing to distinguish one character's voice from another. You could mix up all the thought balloons in this title since he started, and it wouldn't make a difference. I know some people like McDuffie's work. It must be for the overall story, because I think his voice is non-existant, and his character work is extremely limited.
