Creator Jeph Jacques has found new and innovative techniques of storytelling to produce a comic that explores life and love with laughter and compassion.

FF #17
Daredevil #11
The New Deadwardians #2

Is avenging spiderman good? I dug the first part of the crossover but realize that's not what the book is normally like.

it's pretty hit or miss, more so now that Wells is no longer writing it, every issue has a different writer & artist so it hardly makes sense as an "ongoing". However, with the exception of the Hawkeye / Greg Land one (#4), which was terrible, it's been a fun read so far.

[Beyerstein]

why would anyone want comics "journalism"? what are they expecting to find?

go read the new york times or watch 60 minutes for journalism

as for comics, bleeding cools turns up more things and johnston has been breaking stories no one else has for over a decade if you count all the rage and LITG

[Rhodes]

Comics critique specifically, not just journalism, is what is lacking here, Jason.

Of course I get news and shit from BC and their ilk. That doesn't mean I take their opinions seriously or find Johnston's writing readable.

[hey look]

well deserved 5 stars!

FIVE BLOODY STARS.

[sevenarts]

Anyone know where I could buy back issues of Orc Stain online?

[Rhodes]

Which ones are you missing? Not very cost-effective, but: G-Mart has a first printing of #1, if it matters; Mile High has 4-6 (half off with codeword MADNESS!); and mycomicshop.com has #7. No idea about the issues in between.

[sevenarts]

Thanks, I'd already checked those sites. I don't have any of the issues, but I read it recently and was hoping I could track down the whole thing somewhere. I'll see if I can piece together a run somehow.

[Rhodes]

I'm glad I jumped on it early. Issues 2 and 3 are the hardest to find for cheap.

Now, if only it'd ship regularly!

[Rhodes]

Who's getting this?



Kubert and Redondo drawing the Bible, it's a no-brainer.

[Rhodes]

Almost forgot about this, too:

[jerbear]

SO glad the art has finally changed in UXF but I had no idea what was going on in the last issue

[Rhodes]

The AoA Nightcrawler merc'd the AoA Iceman.

[jerbear]

Ah

[Rhodes]

The Kree scenes in Secret Avengers this week were some Arzach-looking stuff. Renato Guedes is awesome.

[Beyerstein]

are they gonna bring back the real nightcrawler

[endor holocaust]

Do you think they'll bring Wasp or Nightcrawler back first?

[darkendofthestreet]

Nightcrawler, no-one cares about Wasp.

[endor holocaust]

So who's doing the art on the Youngblood relaunch? Is it Liefeld, or a somehow worse Liefeld clone?

[Beyerstein]

Nightcrawler, no-one cares about Wasp.

Yes they do

[Beyerstein]

why doesn't someone make some clever quips about how Liefled draws.

no one's done that before.

[Beyerstein]

i read the new issue of uncanny and colossus started turning into a big monster. i really have no idea whats happening anymore.

[Rhodes]

I don't understand why people are still paying money to read Uncanny X-Men.

Apart from the fact that the name of the book is "Uncanny X-Men."

[hey look]

really didn't like the last arc - that being said, i thought this issue was probably the best AvX thing so far.

[endor holocaust]

why doesn't someone make some clever quips about how Liefled draws.

no one's done that before.

I wasn't trying to be clever, I honestly can't tell who's drawing the book. It looks like Liefeld, but scratchier.

[Rhodes]

I think I've liked the stuff in SA's the best so far.

Then again it's gotten hard for me to not like anything by Remender at this point.

[Beyerstein]

probably the only way to save uncanny is to bring claremont back

[Beyerstein]

the art in youngblood is gonna be by Liefeld and some other guy.

don't worry its gonna be real good. everyone who read the preview loved it.
