I don't think that one style is necessarily better than the other (narration boxes over thought balloons) - I do think that thought balloons tend to let the writer cheat and flat-out tell the reader things that should instead be shown or conveyed some other way. Bendis didn't do that - I'll...

So far it's been pretty standard superhero fare, without the extra spark I expected from having watched (the first season of) Carnivale. It also seems to suffer badly from a syndrome I've recently decided to call Hudlin Syndrome - in his own book, Tony is kinder, gentler, meaner when he has to...

The printer issue isn't a coloring problem, it's a page layout problem - and it doesn't involve foil or fold outs or anything extra like that.

*sighs in relief* Well, that's over. .. Wait, what's all this Initiative stuff? Agggh! It's not over! The interesting thing to me is that the purpose of Civil War was to shake up the Marvel Universe a bit (any store owner will tell you that you have to move the merchandise displays around...

Bah! I thought this thread had been revived because we had some actual news. Alas, not.

Hang on, fact checking, this may all be a bluff...

I don't have anything substantial to add, just: Ewwwwwww. I like Holloway as Sawyer, but NOT as Hawkeye.

Re: New Avengers #26 discussion (spoilers) Yep; in Disassembled. Also, note that Dr. Strange says chaos magic is real in this issue, when in Disassembled he says there is no such thing. Huh.

No, it had been sent out for color, which meant they were finished with art (Millar still tweaks dialog, but the pages are done). The ONLY way this March date could be right is if something has to be re-drawn. Maybe it conflicted with Ultimates V3? Who knows.

Re: New Avengers: Illumanti Series Discussion (Spoilers) So, in other words, the great and mighty Illuminati got together to do "what had to be done" and ended up pissing the Skrull off even more, crashing, getting captured AND supplying the Skrull with info on human biology and how to defeat...

Re: New Avengers #26 discussion (spoilers) My review: Definitely a let-down, as I expected more answers and information. I'm not unaware of the irony of that, having had Dr. Strange hammer in the point that neither Clint - nor, by extension, the readers - would get much of an answer...

Pick of the week: Sandman Mystery Theater #1 (Rieber/Nguyen; WildStorm) Excellent first issue for this relaunch - very good script and great art. I'm a fan of Eric Nguyen's from his work on the first 8 issues or so of Strange Girl, and this series features a more restrained, serious style from...

Ehhh, it's gotta be temporary. Don't think of it as "dropping" so much as "taking a relationship time-out."

On MW, someone has read the new Comic Box 9 (A European comics mag), which has an interview with Joe Q. He mentions Ultimates V3, as summarized below: Ultimates 3 is late, that's why it's not solicited yet and will not be solicited before summer. Ultimates 4 looks to move faster.

I liked it the best of the WildStorm relaunches so far. I DO know my WildStorm history, and it's surprising to see a few of the characters ("uhmmm, aren't you dead?") but I don't really care how or why they were brought back. It' similar to StormWatch: Team Achilles in tone, but a little...

(I have been summoned! And I appear!) I'm reading The Authority, WildCats, Stormwatch: PhD, Midnighter (against my better judgment - although the second issue was an improvement). I may read the new Dixon-penned Grifter/Midnighter mini. I tried Gen 13 (two issues) and didn't care for it...

Sort of. Loeb will actually be writing 12 issues, 6 with Joe Mad and six with Ed McGuiness. I think the structure is expected to be 2 separate arcs.

I think he has an unfortunately narrow band in which he writes well (Alias, Powers, Daredevil) but so far hasn't been able to step outside of that (Secret Wars, New Avengers, House of M). He's certainly not the only writer (in comics or prose) that has this trouble, though. Most of the others...

Yep - it wasn't the first death, which I wouldn't have been happy about anyway, but the whole alive-dead-alive-dead-alive thing, within about 6 months. The character actually had momentum going for a return, and it could have been handled so much better. (Even though I'd rather see characters...

The schedule started off well and then dropped off. Overall, the series was pretty good, although I'm not sure the conclusion was as strong as the start. It was an Image book, it was a "vanity press," Ludovico Technique. It's unlikely that Image would pick up the series as a single TPB. 12/05...
