I’ve had all kinds of perfectly good intentions wind me up wildly off course from my original destination. I feel…

Full disclosure: I’m not a fan of Mad Magazine-style, sight-gag-and-double-entendre-based humor. It has its merits, and I’m not saying I’m…

I try not to throw around 5s all willy-nilly; a book’s gotta earn ’em, but this one did for me….

September 7, 2011 5:10 pm I'm experiencing the same problem. I've tried using Firefox 7, Chrome 13.0.782.220, and Safari 5.1, all with the same results. I'm on a Mac running OSX 10.6.8.
July 14, 2011 4:53 pm @ScottB - I thought the same thing, and about this panel in particular. Took me right back to 1991.
July 14, 2011 3:17 pm Am I the only one who feels like this is just All Star Batman & Robin vol. 2? Maybe it's just 'cos Finch's art reminds me so much of Jim Lee's.

May 9, 2011 11:28 am Ohmanohman! The New Mutants' Asgardian Wars story is one of my favorite X-arcs of all time. This feels all kinds of right.
March 11, 2011 9:53 am Don't have previous issues in front of me - have Samnee, Pichelli, and La Fuente all used the same color/ink teams? 'Cos while they're all very distinct, there's been a real visual continuity to the series despite having three pencillers (or more?) over the last few months.

Fave think about this issue: Kitty's Lockheed tee.
April 23, 2010 5:47 pm Kinda feel like I'm kicking the guy while he's down, but I've gotta add one more criticism to Land's work here: that was one of the worst characterizations of Warlock I've ever seen. Despite the ethical ambiguity of swiping and reusing panels, I typically kinda like his style, but this... ugh. Feels like he finally caved to the pressure and decided to draw an issue from scratch, and now I kinda wish he'd go back to tracing Victoria's Secret catalogues.
April 23, 2010 5:38 pm Is it really that easy to separate the symbiote from its host? You just reach in its mouth and pull out a naked dude?
April 20, 2010 12:39 pm How is Kang on this list and NOT Hawkeye?
April 16, 2010 5:10 pm I agree completely. I appreciated that Liu kept this focused on espionage and intrigue instead of tight leather and gadgets, and Acuna's artwork - while not always my favorite - worked here. And yeah, those scenes on the operating table? Visceral.
