I’ve long felt that the Mad Hatter is Batman’s most under-appreciated villains. The guy is creepy as hell. A lot…

Gotham City Sirens continues to be my favorite book of the Bat-line, and continues to be better than it actually…

September 26, 2012 6:04 pm I think you give it to Batman's baddies, with Spidey's coming in 2nd. Batman's villains are, as others have said, archetypal and extremely versatile. With a few exceptions--Venom, Osborn, Doc Ock--Spidey's rouges gallery's strength is variety, not necessarily quality. For every lame-o Killer Moth Batman has, Spidey has 2 Typefaces and Vermins.
September 26, 2012 5:45 pm I think technically he's a Spider-Man villain, since he started in ASM, but I also think he's been used far more effectively with Daredevil over the years. I'd give him to DD.

September 12, 2012 4:51 pm I'm actually interested in this. I like all the characters but Red Hulk, who I also don't DISlike. I like Steve Dillan. I've been mostly OK with Way's Deadpool work. Also, I had many of the same reactions the people above are about Uncanny X-Force before that started, and I loved that. I'll give it a shot.

September 7, 2012 5:10 pm I love it when it gets colored that way. Love McKone's Spidey, too. My favorite piece of original art I own is one of his Spider-Man pages.
September 7, 2012 5:07 pm The way the layout on the 1st & 2nd panels is makes it look like Fury has a really wide shoulder & extra arm and it freaks me out a tiny bit.
August 27, 2012 9:38 pm Character and creator are pretty much equal in getting me to try something. I'll try anything Batman or Spider-Man are starring in; I'll try anything Cooke or Remender or Hickman, etc. write. The same is not true of artists, at least in a positive sense; I will avoid certain artists' comics like they carry the plague, but extremely rarely will an artist alone convince me to try one. There are a couple artists who are an exception to the rule.
August 24, 2012 2:04 pm So the Governor's a fan of the cross-draw. That's ballsy, gonna slow you down a bit when a pissed off Rick is coming at you.
