Can Marvel Win Me Back?
January 19, 2012 4:38 pm I've always been a DC reader and rarely touched Marvel - but recently I've found myself picking up issues (usually after seeing them recommended here) and I'm actually enjoying them. The real focus for me has been Dan Slott writing Amazing Spider-man. But from buying zero Marvel eighteen months ago, I'm buying something like 7-8 titles a month. (I also secretly enjoyed Fear Itself and don't understand what all the hatred was about: big guys hitting other big guys with hammers. Worked for me).
I really believe that we're in a great time for comics. I don't see the situation as negatively at all. Quite the opposite.

LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES #5
January 18, 2012 1:25 pm Walt Simonson? Absolutely looking forward to this.
Come on iFanboy: after all the negative things you've said about LoSH, make is PotW!

Ron’s List of the Best Things in Comics in 2011
January 3, 2012 4:51 pm Absolutely.
What's surprised me most is that Schism rekindled my interest in X-men for the first time in about 10 years.
I'd also add Dan Slott on Amazing Spider-man this year has been nothing short of a great, fun read and looks like it's going to carry on like that into 2012.

THE INCREDIBLE HULK #3
December 20, 2011 4:23 am This pairing of Aaron and Silvestri is great. I'm no Hulk fan but I'm signed up to this!

UNCANNY X-MEN #2
November 30, 2011 7:09 am Yep. Just WASN'T funny. And anyone expecting younger new readers to pick it up are wrong. This book's better... just!

Pick of the Week – 10.26.2011 – Wolverine and the X-Men #1
October 27, 2011 2:50 am I'm geting old and cranky. I disliked this comic big time. It felt like reading one of those comics like Young Justice from DC that is aimed at kids. I didn't find it at all funny. But like I say I've just got old and cranky and probably lost my sense of humour.

WONDER WOMAN #2
October 18, 2011 1:18 am This is exactly my feeling. I tried this out after hearing how good it was... and it was pretty good. I don't really think that the quality of the story had that much to do with the character of Wonder Woman. The same story with some other main character would have worked just as well. The art was pretty need though.
As Neeks says it's going to be a "make or break" issue.

Pick of the Week – 10.05.2011 – O.M.A.C. #2
October 6, 2011 1:51 pm N.O, !
I C.A.N.T. B.E.L.I.V.E. T.H.A.T. T.H.I.S. I.S. T.H.E. P.I.C.K. !
I'll definitely buy this as I use the PotW as a way of trying out new titles. But, really, the first issue wasn't particularly good. It'd have to have desperately improved in the course of one issue.

Remake & Reboot: A Doctor Strange Comic Series
October 6, 2011 12:20 am Turn it into a horror book and get Scott Snyder to write it.
Get Chris Samnee to draw it for that old-school style.
Nuff said.
