Rant of the day
Check out this set of comic book reviews, and scroll down to the blistering review of "Spider-Man: Reign". I'm haven't bought any issue of that series, and won't be. Man, does that sound like one appalling comic. (Might not be considered work safe.)

Oh, and he's right, Jeff Smith's new "Shazam!" book really is that wonderful, especially if you have kids.

Jeff Smith's new Captain Marvel book was the best comic I read last week, certainly one of the best superhero comic I've read in some time. Everyone should buy and read it, whether they have kids or not! :-)

That has me feeling slightly ill. Worse yet, I'm afraid it will inspire someone to filk "Superman's Sex Life Boogie."

Not me. Is this continuity? I mean, I really don't buy comics much anymore, except for collections of things I like. And [info]scans_daily has reviews and excerpts and scans that make me just crazy. But this.... Did Jim Shooter come back and put something in the water, or something?

Here's the solicitation for the collection. It starts "A searing vision of Spider-Man’s future," so no, it's not in continuity. Small favors, and all that.

Oy. As Les says, "bad fanfic". They've just found a way to get paid for it.

I'm sorry, but I had to laugh. Two words: "atomic crotch."

My roommate just blogged this after coming down the stairs to greet me with "Do you know what's happening in the current Marvel continuity?"

I still need a comic books icon ...
