Marvel can start another Iron Patriot comic but can't keep Venom alive?
booooo
booooo
Yes. It's absolutely incredible up to around issue 76/7, after the war and all that. Some of the most satisfying moments in any series I've ever come across. After that the story kind of just doggy paddles around.
If you like crime comics it really is an absolute peak in his work. I love everything else he does, but Criminal takes the cake. Fatale opens itself to some super tough competition by delving into the horror genre (Locke and Key & American Vampire, I'm looking at you) but Criminal is peerless compared to other crime books. EDIT: Ahhh, and then I remember Scalped. Okay ,well, Scalped gives Criminal a run for its money, but both are doing very different things. Scalped is an epic 10 vol. opus, Criminal manages to nail you to the wall every time with the space of 4-5 issues.
Personally, I would leave Incognito for if you ever manage to get through the rest of his stuff and your violently craving more, it just never clicked for me on the same level as the rest.
Holy cow, I'm going to pick up Ghost Rider and Iron Patriot so badly, can't wait. Silver Surfer sounds awesome too, I'll have to make some serious choices on my pull list. I called Overdrive, god I'm so happy GR is back (I don't care if it's not Blaze since a new character sounds great, I know Johnny's in Thunderbolts now though).
Has the "Assassin" teaser been revealed yet? Even if Bucky isn't getting his own book (which I'm ok with) I'd just like confirmation.
These will be announced tomorrow
I love East of West but MP is still Hickman's best book. He has said it's the one he loves to write the most too.Manhattan Projects is so good I double dipped and got volumes 1 and 2 of the tpb's today. Oppenheimer Prime would be proud. HMMMMM.

Rad!

The room broke out into cheers again as the panel brought up the image of the name Miracleman, playing a video of writer Neil Gaiman speaking about the character.
Miracleman #25 has been sitting in the darkness, nobodys seen it...I love the idea that its finally going to be seen, Gaiman said, calling it the big incomplete book of my life, and announcing Marvels intention to bring the material back into print.
Quesada told the cheering audience that in January 2014 they will be printing the Miracleman material and Gaimans end to the story.
Miracleman is back. Neil Gaiman is finishing his run .
Reprintng from the beginning
I have the first two volumes of Scalped on my shelf and I've read issue #1 which I really liked so I guess that counts for something.
DC didn't announce shit.
Haha, oh man, well the great thing about Scalped is you might have an idea of what it'll entail before you read any, then you get that twist at the end of #1 and just, yea, fantastic stuff. Although, I've often seen it flung aorund the net that the first volume of Scalped is no good and doesn't really pick up until volume 2, but I find that unfathomable, I love the first volume.
Should we be expecting any image announcements this weekend? They are kind of at breaking point with so so many projects upcoming, but just wondering.
Speaking of Image, the talk earlier about Manhattan Projects convinced me to pick up the first trade. Looks pretty cool!
Nice little interview with Mike Carey & Peter Gross just came up on CBR, announces the Unwritten restart in January will bring along with the subtitle "Apocalypse" for it's final 12 issues. Not sure how many read the unwritten here, I rarely see it discussed, but the book is great, and really encourages you to go read classic fiction and read about the development of fiction over the last 100 years or so, alongside a great plot.

It warms my heart to see people taking a chance on Manhattan Projects, I feel like it's the best book no one reads. Which is especially odd here, considering the way you all go gaga for Hickman.

that looks like some left over comic from the 50s/60s. Was hoping for something more modern like Silver Surfer series im currently reading from Annhilation Saga
Funny, I enjoy reading over everyone's weekly lists and I feel that MP is fairly represented. I notice that it gets love at the LCS, too. I remember I was in early one Wednesday and I saw this preppy, professional-looking clean-cut guy, the atypical comic fan in my eyes, and he was there to pick up MP and MP alone. I'm happy that the series gives so many people pleasure. I read the first issue and didn't like it. Perfectly fine comic. Just didn't interest me.
Rich is saying that James Robinson is writing fantastic 4. With Lenore Kirk on art.
Rocket Girl was alright. The art was incredible as always but this Montclare guy cannot write at all. Her reason in going back in time was not explicit or compelling enough. And why the cops giving the broad a full report? That was a Noccenti moment. And what do they both have in common? Former editors.
Venom was garbage after Remender left anyways. Venom never should have left NYC.

Wait, you're shitting me, right? That art style is what Allred is all about.
Hope Hickman finishes this next year:
Yeah the Remender Venom stuff is good, definitely worth giving a shot.Was that run where Venom is like a military dude written by I think Rick Remender any good? I've been slowly catching up on Amazing Spider-Man since Brand New Day (Im currently reading The Gauntlet) and was wondering if I should check it out.
is that a story that takes place in la?

I don't think I've read anything about this Disney Kingdoms imprint. I thought it might be like an all-ages thing but at $4 a go I'm not so sure. Looks pretty interesting though.
