Random Shit Dealing With Comics

[Captain Russ]

He's either a freak or he goes through reams of paper on the way to finished work.

If he is the former I'm going to lose my shit.

Also: love Conner and Cooke's Silk Spectres.



Jae Lee continues to be boring to the surprise of no one.

Terrific stuff. I'm on the fence over all of this Before Watchmen stuff, but that's some pretty sweet artwork.

[Abraham Smashington]

This is awesome.

[Anderson]

This is awesome.

I wish they knew who did it. Also, Colleen Coover is awesome.

[IggytheBorg]

I just saw these for the 1st time on a foray to my loxcal comic shop (priorities dictate I rarely go amy more). Was gonna ask about them. On the one hand, I don't want to ruin my absolute adoration of Moore's masterwork with what will undoubtedly be sub par work.

But on the other hand, there's one about Rorschach.

Hurrrrm.

[Abraham Smashington]

has anyone read them here yet?

I read the Minutemen one and the first issue of the Silk Spectre one.

They'd be far more successful, if they weren't tugging on the capes of giants.

[IggytheBorg]

How badly would we all stain our shorts if Moore himself decided to write some pre-Watchmen canon? Never happen, tho. . .

MarvelNOW! Launching this fall.

Uncanny Avengers by Rick Remender and John Cassaday
All-New X-Men by Brian Michael Bendis and Stuart Immonen
Avengers by Jonathan Hickman and Jerome Opeña


Called it.

[Captain Russ]

I'm not a really big fan of the flagship titles, but seeing Hickman's name attached to the Avengers makes my balls tingle.

They're trying to do a revamp without doing a revamp. It still is better than what DC did, however they tipped their hand a little too hard to how A vs. X is going to end.

All to get a story in Entertainment Weekly.

[Captain Russ]

Soft reboots make me go soft. But hey, gotta get press some way for the smaller pool.

BOO

[Anderson]

[Anderson]

All-New X-Men is a time-travel book.

For reasons yet to be seen (AvX finale), the original X-Men Team (Cyclops, Jean Grey, Beast, Iceman, Angel) are now stuck in the present. They see the current Marvel Universe and freak out. So, they want to try and fix it.

[Captain Russ]

And they're rounding out their cross-promotional work in throwing Nova and Rocket Raccoon in.

Nice (though I am seriously happy to see them, even if it isn't Rich Ryder Nova).
