Cracking the Internet in Half

Okay, so it’s one thing to overhype your stuff to the tried and true fans; by this point, we should expect every issue of every comic that rolls off the Marvel assembly lines to fundamentally change our lives and bring peace to the Middle East.  No, let’s not get into whether or not the issues [...]

The Great Gap

Okay, the quick quick version:   Yours Truly’s been out of the comic loop for a few months.
And I swear, no matter how much I read, the more I have to wonder what I’m missing.
Sure, there’s the problem of a large fire making the 25 long boxes I had nothing more than dust in the wind [...]

And a Light Shone Down from the Heavens…

And God granted us Dan Slott.
The Baltimore Comic-Con revealed to us the way and the light by announcing DAN SLOTT was going to be taking over writing chores on the Mighty Avengers, the finest Avengers news I’ve heard in a great long while.  Let me explain:
Originally, Mighty Avengers was supposed to be the ‘real’ Avengers [...]

An Open Letter to Greg Pak and Fred Van Lente

Dear Sirs,
When you first took over writing chores on the Incredible Hercules, I was rather upset and might have said some rather harsh words regarding your ‘hijacking’ of one of my favorite titles.  I didn’t think it was fair the the title character of the book formerly known as Incredible Hulk got kicked off his [...]

All You Need to Know – New Avengers #45

Hey, did you read House of M?
It was an 8 issue comic series back in 2005 that led to the Decimation of the oodles of random mutants that had cropped up over the years in the Marvel Universe.  A population control problem, it cut down all the X-Men to all the ones everyone liked (which… [...]

All You Need to Know – New Avengers #44

A customer came in with a handy little heft of Marvel books and he wasn’t sure on New Avengers.  Issues had been hit and miss with him and I properly bit my tongue and tried to sell the book as the Secret History of the Secret Invasion.  The customer perked up as Secret Invasion was [...]

All You Need to Know – Mighty Avengers #17

The new issue of Wizard that comes out today promises on the cover to have Bendis reveal all about the Avengers, or at least what sounds like yet another iteration of the team that seems to have at least Cap, Iron Man and Thor in it that’s going to come out of Secret Invasion.  Dear [...]

Give Peace a Chance

So, as Secret Invasion rolls along, revealing that yes, some people are Skrulls, some people are not Skrulls and hey, they’re doing whole Invasion under a religeous fervor!  For their troubles, the Marvel heroes have banded together to face this army and rip their stinkin’ heads off.
Some might say there’s a lot of out-and-out killing [...]

When the Wrong Thing Can be Right – X-Factor #34

This last issue of X-Factor ends their Secret Invasion tie-in and their She-Hulk tie-in and, I’ll be honest here, I can’t say it really thrilled me as much as an X-Factor/She-Hulk tie-in should have.  To be fair, I’ll admit my share of fandignance here and say that my expectations were probably really high and what [...]
