April 24, 2012 3:49 pm We're past the days of the ongoing series for characters like these. Every once in awhile, put a crackerjack creative team on a 6-issue or 8-issue limited series of "Runaways" and the like, let that run a critically acclaimed course, get the Hardcover and TPB out within a year, and do another mini three or four years later. Treat it like the movie industry, essentially.

April 19, 2012 1:22 pm I'm buying weeklies for the first time in about three years because of AVX. Love the concept, and it's the best use of the Phoenix Force since the original Phoenix Saga. And I think putting out books that JUST have the brawls in it makes the most sense of any event tie-in I've seen in years.

April 2, 2012 7:43 pm You know what I love about the Pats? How they keep losing to the Giants in the Super Bowl.

March 29, 2012 2:05 pm I wrote a column last week at "StashMyComics.com" that's like the "after" to this column's "before". I think. I may have mixed that up... Check it out! http://www.stashmycomics.com/blog/index.php/2012/03/geek-cinema-pre-movie-hype-vs-post-movie-letdown/

March 16, 2012 1:35 pm As stated above, glad to see them taking a different approach with this. How many times in the last decade have we seen the Spidey origin retold? Good on them.

February 29, 2012 2:17 pm So a chunk of this movies is going to depict The Avengers Assembling, it would seem. Nothing like a good "gathering the team" issue.

February 29, 2012 2:15 pm I think it was that thing from Transformers 3. Not that I saw Transformers 3...

February 28, 2012 3:24 pm I paid forward almost every single issue I had over a year ago, Jimski, keeping only two or three boxes of stuff I actually do go back to and read. Best decision I ever made.
