AVENGERS ACADEMY Gets Its First Student... Veil

On Mar 8, 2010 12:13 PM

Planning on cutting all the Avengers books when the reboot happens because none of the teams or creative teams excite me.

Straczynski To Take Over Superman and Wonder Woman

On Mar 8, 2010 10:20 AM

Excellent news - one of my favourite writers on two of my favourite characters. Totally made up. One question, the article (and some comments) paints a rather negative view of JMS's commitment to projects and I don't really understand why. Outside of The Twelve (which, tbh, we don't know the reason of delay for) I can't think of a project that he has started that has been interrupted withou...

iFanboy - Episode #152 - DC vs. Marvel!

On Mar 3, 2010 12:08 AM

miyamotofreak pretty much summed up my reasons for being a primarily DC guy at the moment. Sensible pricing, wider spectrum of genres, more professional and appealing PR wise and at the moment just generally better books.

Pick of the Week - 02.24.2010 - New Avengers #62

On Feb 24, 2010 7:16 PM

Wow, talk about different strokes for different folks and all that. I thought this was the worst book of the week by a country mile. The art was very poor from both artists, the characterisations where uneven and not much of note happened. In actual fact, it may be the worst issue of new avengers i've read (and i've read them all!). BN as POW for me with Flash Rebirth and B&R chasing it'...

Pick of the Week - 02.03.2010 - Siege #2

On Feb 4, 2010 12:51 AM

Can't say that this did much for me... although the last page was good. Also, I may have missed something (considering I don't read much Marvel anymore) but when did Sentry change from 'mental but easily manipulated goverment stooge' to 'cold blooded murderer who does whatever osborn tells him'??

Avengers #1 by Brian Michael Bendis and John Romita JR

On Feb 1, 2010 3:21 PM

JRJR drawing - big plus Thor back on the Avengers - big plus Bendis writing - big minus. Tired of reading tedious odd sounding conversations between avengers. Haven't been impressed with anything Bendis has done at Marvel to be honest (outside of the early Ultimate Spider-Man stuff) so will probably skip this.

Several Marvel Books Won't Be Showing Up Next Week

On Jan 28, 2010 2:55 PM

@Jimski: You seriously dismiss all Deadpool partly because of the way he was created and his costume? Wow, weird. Admittedly he is oversaturated, two of the titls aren't great and I don't understand all this 'Deadpool variant' nonsense, but if you haven't tried the main book because he was easy to create and his costume is a spidey rip off with pouches then you're missing out on one of the fe...

Marc Webb to direct new Spider-Man

On Jan 19, 2010 9:50 PM

Most worrying thing about this press release... ' Webb will work closely with producers Avi Arad and Laura Ziskin in developing the project'.  The producers should primarily let the writer and director get on with it without interference. It was Arad's insistence on inserting Venom into the third movie against Raimi's wishes that turned that film in the muddled mess it was (there was a ...

Marvel Offers Free Comics To Retailers In Exchange For Unsold DC Issues

On Jan 13, 2010 5:10 PM

Everyday I like the people running Marvel less and less. I wish they would stop dicking around pulling slimy marketing stunts like cheap second hand car salesman and concentrate on improving their product rather than taking shots at DC. Lets face it, DC have been outscoring Marvel creatively for 12 -18 months now at least and this kind of stunt does nothing to improve Marvel's image in my eye...

Sony To Reboot Spider-Man Film Franchise?

On Jan 11, 2010 6:21 PM

On one hand this sucks. 1 & 2 were great and I think the director and cast were still ideal. On the other hand, if the studio were going to force nonsense on Raimi like they did with 3 and not let him make the movie he wanted to make then maybe he is better off gone and I can just happily ignore the new movie when they hire 'generic teen heartthrob no. 3' and McG...
