August 11, 2011 10:16 pm Maybe JRJR will draw something I will read. Tried 3 times and never thought Bendis' Avengers was very good. Don 19t feel he gets the characters at all. I have liked other things by him, especially Ultimate Spiderman, but I think he is wrong for a big team book.

August 9, 2011 5:32 pm @paul I like a short, stocky Wolverine too (It is traditional) but I hate Bachalo's art.

August 3, 2011 1:21 am There are so many great things in comics right now. It is my firm belief, and has been for five or six years, that we have the best comics, to date, in history being made right now. There are a score of artists who are, literally and truly, revolutionary in their talent doing regular work. There are about as many writers who have read and understand what came before them and builyt new, imaginitive layers on this. We are reading the smartest, sexiest, most dazzling, most meaningful form of comics that has yet come to pass. If you do not like a particular thing in comics there is a legion of other opportunities to amuse yourself. LEGION. 

July 29, 2011 1:16 am Hulk Gray is kind of a piece of crap. Its really boring and not a well done book, sadly. The Peter David works are the most critical to understanding the Hulk as they are the first big evolution in the character beyond his Silver Age origins. Further, they are fundamental to the nature of what the Hulk has become in the modern landscape of comics. The best stories are the Mr. Fixit segment and the Pantheon era, where David really adddressed a lot of mature issues using the Hulk mythos. Hulk: The End is a fun story but is pretty much inconsequential to the Hulk character and mythos. Future Imperfect is a better measure of alternate versions of the Hulk. It is an exploration of monster inside the character that he could become if he ever gives up on his humanity and, additionally, is a tweak on the classic X-Men story of similar name. Planet Hulk is a fantastic piece allows the Hulk to run wild in an uncontrolled environment where no other major characters need to be considered. It is the best of the modern Hulk works of the last 10 years or so. 

July 27, 2011 9:50 pm Amazing book. Just amazing. I still haven't decided whether this is my POW or not, but it is definitely a 5 star. Really hits home.

July 25, 2011 9:22 pm I absolutely love Asrar's art. Have ever since Dynamo 5. I may pick this up just because he is on it, but I m otherwise not very interested.

July 24, 2011 11:14 pm Watched Captain America. About a B-/C+ film - vastly superior to Thor, not nearly as good as the first Iron Man, the first 2 Spiderman movies or the first 2 X-Men movies or even First Class. These Marvel Studio films attempt to evoke a Silver Age aesthetic. Black and white. Good and evil. No questioning of motive or social consequence. Worst of all, bland humor that dried up 30 years ago.

July 24, 2011 4:00 pm Finally, Aaron writes a charactrer I have a natural affinity for. Not that I haven't read some of the other stuff. Silvestri should be a great artist if he can keep up his pace. Don't care about the Fear Itself related mess at all.

July 22, 2011 10:37 pm Yep. No Bachalo for me. His art is a train wreck and his writing is worse. Lost a sale there Marvel.
