Well, before I went digital this month I'd have to walk 2 miles to get to my comic shop, and one time it was snowing. So, yeah. :D
 
Said it before and I'll say it again if you are not buying Daredevil, do it NOW.

Great interview with Mark Waid


Sadly it seems # 6 is Martin's last issue for sometime and he is moving on to creator owned work. Hope Wacker has got someone great to work alongside Rivera.

Unlettered Preview from issue #7

BUY THIS BOOK PEOPLE
 
HOLY. SHIT.

I finally picked up the first two issues of The Strange Talent of Luther Strode, along with some other comics, to prepare for tonight's GAF outage.

I was not prepared for the awesomeness. It's like Flex Mentallo on even more horse tranqs.

Hardly surprising, given the sales. I really wonder how much of a chance X-Factor, Avengers Academy, Thunderbolts, and Gen Hope are being given.

From the same CBR feature that confirmed that cancellation - For the other two or three people here who actually give a damn about the 2012 "It's Coming" Phoenix event: Looks like we won't have to wait much longer for a substantive announcement.

But the first phase of a publishing plan is determining what your tent-poles will be -- what projects will drive people into stores and get people buzzing about the year ahead. A few weeks ago, we released a little teaser that got people buzzing:

("It's Coming" Phoenix teaser here)

Very soon, we're going to reveal all. Three simple words that speak to the hardcore Marvel fan and the guy or gal on the street who's seen one or two super hero movies.

I've always wonder does the Green Lanterns stay clear away from Darkseid's sector of space? Has he had any run-ins with the Guardians?

Don't tease me like that if you don't mean it.

New Genesis and Apocalypse seem to exist outside real space.
 
GAF is back, hooray! I read some comics last night and felt bereft when I couldn't immediately log in and share my thoughts.

So, I went and impulse bought the three issues so far of Catwoman, and I have to say that I'm really really impressed by the book so far. I was put off but the t'n'a controversy when it came out so I skipped it, and I'm really annoyed that I listened to the internet on this one, because it's a top-tier book that is not getting the love it deserves.

Firstly, I really don't feel like the book is sexist at all. I mean yeah, my penis maybe disqualifies me from having an opinion on the matter to some people, but I didn't find it exploitative since it really fits the nature of the character. She's sexy, she's funny and she's dangerous, that's how she's always been, but I feel that Winick has gone over and above many previous portrayals of the character to give her some depth not seen since Brubaker, while also amping up the hotness-factor, which a lot of writers maybe shy away from. The famous first couple of pages where a faceless Selena is dressing hurriedly don't read salaciously to me at all. They read like someone is trying to get dressed fast and GTFO of their apartment. It lent the sequence tension and dare I say it, humour.

Catwoman is a highly sexualised character, that much is for sure. But she's highly sexual in an awesome way. The later issues where she's flirting with Bruce are awesome, the pages crackle with mischief and fun, and I think Selena's overt sexuality give the book a really unique tone. She's not used or abused for her sex (although this is hinted at in the sequences from her past), she takes it and she owns it. Surely, part of this plays into a submissive male fantasy, but not all objects of fantasy necessarily have to be portrayed or read in a negative light. And then again, I can also see women reading this and enjoying the power fantasy of putting themselves in the shoes of an ultimate sexy badass.

And the story itself is great too. Tense, brutal, full of defeat and catharsis and revenge, with moments of real joy and slinky Catwoman fun. The violence is shocking but it kind of suits the character. When she attacks a scumbag mob boss, you have a real sense of her history and of her rage. The character is multifaceted, not just a male fantasy wrapped up in shiny leather.

But the shiny leather is good too, and Guillem March's artwork is stunning for the most parts. The man can draw some godamn sexy women, that much is for sure.

So yeah, this book is the shit. If you've been holding off on it, dip your toes in and see how you like it. I guarantee it's not what you thought it was.

Is anyone on here actually a fan of Daken? I was never much into X-23, but this guy I actively disliked. No loss imo.

The cancelation of Ghost Rider might have made me sad if the book was actually good. I read the first 2 issues and never wanted to touch it again.
 
WOOOOW.

So I just read the Avengers Academy Fear Itself issues.... definitely the best FI story. The other FI stories I read were the Secret, New, and Avengers and this made the most sense and actually felt like a war. The hammer gods made sense, seeing the mechs made more sense, .... I think I just became a bigger fan of Fear Itself after reading the Academy story.

I tried to tell people. Same thing goes for later issues of Red Hood. Awesome world building stuff with The Caste.
