It's always gotta be an Osborn Spider.

Why can't it be a Lizard Spider?

....Of course based on that new power maybe it IS.

Although... I can say that I would rather read a Bendis book than that one comic that doesn't exist.

So there's that.

Ultimate Spider-Man from what I've read so far, at least early on, is nowhere near as bad as his current stuff.

Except that issue where he told Mary Jane he was Spider-Man, holy ****ing ****. That was disgusting decompression. It was literally an entire issue of him telling her and her reacting.

it's almost as if brian michael bendis was trying to make a point on how difficult a decision that was. he can be accused of decompression and writing for the trade on most -- hell, all -- of his books, but on that specific issue, calling that decompression is silly.

also UCSM 1 should've been a longer issue. bleh.

top 5 from last week: criminal > pigs > frankenstein > daredevil > ultimate comics spider-man. very good week.

How...does that make that point? He told her almost right away. 80% of the issue was her reacting.

Indeed, felt super short. I like Miles, though. I'll probably follow this.

What....was the regular cover for the book? When was at Dr. Nos, the only 2 covers I'd seen were both being sold as variants for $25 and $30. The regular issue was in a polybag.


top 5 from last week: criminal > pigs > frankenstein > daredevil > ultimate comics spider-man. very good week.

I guess this is probably just me, but I felt like the ending to Criminal kind of blew it for me. Still liked it....but I lost all desire for him to get away with it in the last 3 pages. Still great. Haven't read Pigs, but I've heard about it. No idea what it's about.

Top 5 for me this week were: Demon Knights > Frankenstein > American Vampire: Survival of the Fittest > Green Lantern > Scalped

Indeed a great week.

was it? i couldn't remember if it was all build-up or reaction (it's been like 5 years since I've read it), but it's still an issue designed around the idea that peter parker revealing himself as spider-man is a difficult decision for him to make and one that would make most around him flip-out. it's not something you reveal at the end of an issue and finish in two pages the next. bendis isn't the most sophisticated of writers, but one tool he uses, often, is having characters talk for a long time to make something appear important. it was used well in USM, it wasn't in the recent Avengers stuff re: Captain America.

I think Marvel are rushing through as many titles as they can before they unveil what's happening with the Shattered Heroes initiative. If they're going to double ship Daredevil I'm not going to complain. It's better than a Daredevil 3.1, written by Daniel Way and art by Humberto Ramos.

The one with the borders, in traditional Ultimate style.

but POUCHES

I dunno, I think that's just a 4 issue mini to have a 4 issue mini, and Loeb was interested but only if he could write Cable. It sounds more like a branding thing and a direction for the monthlies rather than an event, similar to the Heroic Age.

The USM issue where Peter revealed to Mary Jane was extremely well done. USM doesn't start getting bad until around issue #50, and even then it never gets terrible. Even at its worst USM is readable, which is more than I can say for most of Bendis's Avengers work.

New Ultimate Spider Man #1 was my first exposure to Bendis and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Not better than most of the DC Relaunch stuff I've read so far, though.

Hey everyone! Effective as of issue #4, I will no longer be writing Green Arrow. As many of you know, Oliver Queen is one of my favorite characters in the DC Universe, so this decision was not easy to make. Getting the chance to do the fall of Green Arrow and my run during Brightest Day was a dream come true, and I was excited to bring a new yet familiar take on Green Arrow in the new 52. But, I’ve been writing him for a few years now and an opportunity came up that I really wanted to tackle. I had to make a choice. In a way, my decision to leave is more a testament to how incredibly thrilled I am about Captain Atom. I don’t think I’ve been more excited about a project. Working with Freddie Williams is amazing and I really think it’s among my best work at DC to date. It was a tough call – like picking a favorite child.

I can’t talk about my new project just yet, but it perfectly exemplifies what DC is all about with the New 52 – taking the best characters in comics and presenting them in new and exciting ways. The ability to think outside the box, take chances, and tell different kinds of stories is why it’s a great time to be writing for DC Comics

I wouldn't say that's actually a costume he wears in Action Comics.

I wouldn't even say Superboy had a costume when he just wore a t-shirt and jeans. I have a t-shirt just like that, and wear it with jeans (also have short black hair), I guess that means I cosplay.

I'm pretty sure it was explained that Superman is just beginning his career, he's not an expert at sewing, he has no other sources, so he just had to throw together whatever he could manage.

Honestly I don't know how he would have even gotten his S shield on a T-shirt though, I wouldn't think those existed until after he popularized the logo first, so he somehow made it himself I guess? Thinking about it too much. Stopping now.

I would love to see an explanation that said Superman ripped his logo off from some minor league sports team or something.
