Omega Spells the Beginning of the End for LOCKE & KEY
September 13, 2012 5:11 pm best. pun. ever.
(Also, I love this series and will be sad to see it go. But I'd still prefer that they don't drag it out with spin-offs or sequels.)

Marvel NOW! The Younger Heroes Hope That The Odds Will Ever Be in Their Favor in AVENGERS ARENA!
September 13, 2012 4:34 pm 1960's Stan Lee: "Hey! The kids like surfing these days, right? That gives me a great idea!"
1980's Chris Claremont: "That Alien movie did pretty well, huh? Say... I know what to do!"
Does anybody really believe there was some mythical era when Marvel DIDN'T crib from whatever else was perceived as popular at the time? This is Not. A. Big. Thing. And, like the Brood and countless other "shameless rip offs" in Marvel's history, it could be pretty cool! Or not.

iFlashback! August 27th, 2003
August 27, 2012 1:47 pm That was a great run. Remains one of my all time favorite takes on Wolverine. Worth seeking out the trade or back issues.

CAPTAIN MARVEL #2
August 15, 2012 1:36 pm I was so psyched to see Marvel finally putting out a new Woman-led, Woman-written book and want to support this in the worst way.
Unfortunately, the art isn't my style AT ALL (way too muddy and dark for my taste). I have faith that Kelly Sue is going to get around to telling a compelling story if she's given enough issues to do so, but even that is off to a shaky start with the first issue which was a bit all over the place plot-wise. No way I can justify sticking with this one with so many great books on the stands.
I'd love to see Marvel actually take a risk and put an all-star artist behind a book like this right from the get-go.

In June SPIDER-MEN #1 Make Things Plural
March 9, 2012 3:00 pm So much for the idea that Bendis might start writing a character or team that he hasn't already written for the last decade after he leaves avengers... Seriously, how utterly boring.

Word Balloon Podcast – Halo’s Master Chief, Scott Lobdell, & Paul Jenkins
February 23, 2012 9:34 pm Great episode, as usual!
Scott Lobdell gets a lot of flak, mostly undue, and I don't dig it. I'm not reading any of his three New 52 books, but I was surprised by the message boarders reactions to his return. I remember the Lobdell era X-books fondly. They were some of the first comics I ever bought with my meager mid-nineties allowance, and they were (and still are) some of my favorite superhero books from an era that is - rightly or wrongly - remembered for its more superficial excesses.

Comics Legend John Severin Passes at 90
February 14, 2012 7:31 pm I agree that the last two sentences of this fine eulogy should be emphasized. We live in the Golden Age of Reprints! I know I'll be paying my respects by seeking out one of the beautifully reproduced EC Archives volumes that features Severin's art. It's important to appreciate that we have more access to the work of his generation today than at any time since it was printed in the first place.
