NJ.com picked New Avengers #22, which featured Luke Cage, as the Best Single Issue of 2006. It’s been clear for a long time that the mighty BMB had a soft spot for the tough-skinned guy (Alias, The Pulse, Daredevil, you name it), so it’s no surprise to me that he really nailed it in this [...]

Oh, how cool is THIS? Civil War #7 ships on February 21 (late, but worth it, I bet) and finishes off the series… NOT! The TRUE ending to the series will come courtesy NOT of series creators Mark Millar and Steve McNiven, but rather of the two guys who started it all waaaaay back in [...]

There’s an excerpt from an upcoming print interview with Bendis on Newsarama and it’s AWESOME. He talks about the writing process, Hollywood, TV, the changing adminstrations he’s seen at Marvel, and all kinds of other stuff. Great stuff here. Reading Bendis’s comics reminds me why I like his work. Reading interviews like this remind me [...]

People are talking about it… Silver Bullet: From a critic who has definitely NOT liked Civil War to date, “…this issue was probably the coolest print having to do with Civil War in any way, shape or form.” Comixfan: “Not only has it offered a distinct tone and viewpoint of the war for each chapter [...]

Whoa — my idol shares a name with a Greek goddess? According to Wikipedia.com, “Bendis was a Thracian goddess of the hunt whom the Greeks identified with Artemis, and hence with the other two aspects of the former Minoan Triple Goddess, Hecate and Persephone. She was a huntress, like Artemis, but was accompanied by dancing [...]

It’s always cause for celebration when word of a new Bendis title hits! Check it out: way back when, I blogged about New Avengers: Illuminati, which was written by — yes — Bendis. And only did a little something like set up a little something called, oh, Civil War! (It’s my opinion that CW would [...]

Who is the new artist on Ultimate Spider-Man? Is this driving anyone else crazy? I mean, don’t get me wrong, I think Bagley’s run on the book is awesome and a major milestone that others will fall short of… But who’s next?

Oh, man. If I weren’t COMPLETELY broke, I would so totally buy this… If you have money, unlike me, you can buy it here.

There are few things in the world cooler than reading an awesome comic…and then finding that everyone else agrees with you that it’s awesome! Here’s some folks who loved Bendis and Bagley’s Ultimate Spider-Man #99 almost as much as I did… IGN http://comics.ign.com/articles/728/728075p1.html SilverBulletComicbooks.com http://www.silverbulletcomicbooks.com/reviews/115688260225216.htm ComiXtreme http://www.comixtreme.com/forums/showthread.php?t=30005 Scoop http://scoop.diamondgalleries.com/scoop_article.asp?ai=13082&si=129

Remember how positive I was about USM #99 and how I thought maybe the issues before it had been somewhat… lacking? Well, I was right. Only it’s worse than I remembered. I just picked up the trade paperback (it was sort of a slow week for me, though I did pick up a few other [...]
