Originally posted by Paty … Marvel has no class and hasn't had any professionality for a while now...probably because Millar is pulling Quesada's strings, as Chris Priest expounds on in his website.

Jill, any Chuck Austen news ?? (no, I don't quit !)
Hey Bamfette I was wondering if you might have any updates on the status of the remaining issues of WorldWatch and if they will see print any time soon? Also: Someone found listings of future DC trades at amazon.com on one of those listed was - Superman: Apolcalypse by Chuck Austen (Author) (Paperba...

Nice review, well done. Originally posted by Winged Outlaw I submit that this is the very best superhero comic on the markets today. X-fans, DC fans, people who haven't read comics in years...

What price will prevent you picking up a comic?
I assume this poll is talking about prices in US dollars, correct? Most comics here are already between $4 and $5 (Cdn.), with most everything that's not mainstream Marvel or DC closer or above $5. Thank goodness for that 25% discount I get at my LCS. ;) Cost of an individual issue really isn't a de...

Uncanny #448 preview
Or you could read the entire issue over at popcultureshock.
Not a bad issue, Coipel's art is very nice and this [spoiler] Jamie Braddock [/spoiler] sub-plot is interesting (regardless of the fact that I know nothing about the character). Still it's not enough to keep me collecting this series.

I just got around to reading 447 today and I have to say I didn't enjoy it very much.

Ya know, after a second reading, issue #2 wasn't quite as bad as I remembered it the first time. There were a couple of nice little moments and a few genuinely funny bits of dialogue. The flirting between Sofia and Julian is cute and the interaction between Nori and Dust was interesting. But not eno...

This series has been great so far. I've never been a big fan of Whedon but he is a good writer and I'm genuinely intrigue by the story. There are so many amazing philosophical questions that can be raised around the idea of the mutant gene as a disease that can be cured that I dare not get my hopes ...

I very much enjoyed New Mutants Vol. 2, I thought the characters were interesting, had cool powers and I like the way they interacted with one another. Plus, the writers Christina Weir and Nunzio DeFilippis seem like very nice, talent people who deserve a successful series. However, that being said ...

Ya know, with the exception of one issue of Exile that Austen did and the lastest issue of X-Men I think I have greatly enjoyed every Austen penned comic that I’ve read.

Aside from John Cassaday art on AXM this is most definitely the best thing to come out of the Reload. The second issue was excellent, I'm really intrigued to see where this story is going, all these characters and so many secrets.

Personally, I think for the next year this might be the best title coming out from Marvel on a monthly basis. It was solid for it's first six issues with Bendis, Millar, and Kubert on the book; consistently good with the occasional hint of greatness. But now with the beautiful art of Stuart Immonen ...

Best Comicbook Writer, All-time
So today I got to wondering, who is the best writer in comic books all time? Now there are a couple of different ways to parse it. Quality, influence and the overall size and variety of their work are the three main criteria to me but that's not an exhaustive list. Certainly no criteria should be ex...
