He's a boy genius who works with Peter. He's named after the Watcher....no relation. Which is kind of unfortunate now that you mention it
His folks are big FF fans, so they named the poor kid after The Watcher. His scientific specialty is making stuff to kill supernatural shit. Which just makes me weep at the wasted potential.
Oh hey Peter I sold our marriage to the devil and it is certainly not the devil at work making me say that the woman who is with you instead of me, despite the fact that I loved you enough to sell reality itself to Satan for you, is "amazing."
I mean come on. It's one thing for Peter and MJ to still be friends, but this is like salt in the eyes.

I like how Amazon already has Volume 1 up for pre-order. 448 pages, $39.99 list price for those curious.

C'mon man, if you're going to read every Spider-Man story with OMD in mind you will drive yourself insane.
I know, I know, but I mean c'mon. Making Peter's ex compliment his current girlfriend just looks bad even without the wacky nonsense backstory.

That , new nick fury, and the new 52 rebooting to make everyone younger and single despite selectively keeping continuity, are my modern grudges. I don't complain about them all the time, but I remember. Just gotta keep on reading if the book is good.

Spider Island Venom 1 = WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT.
Did not see that coming, no sir I did not.
Also, while Jackal's design initially threw me off, I'm kinda loving his really messed up character. He makes a lot of really bad jokes and he's a total Gwen Stacy stan, and that kinda makes him stick out.
That THING is Captain America!!

Yeah, I'm really trying to learn to hold my grudges regarding comics back a bit hehe, sometimes I have to rant somewhere though!
Hey, I missed that too, but I'll blame Avengers being so boring right now that I skipped most of those details. New Avengers is 1000x more interesting.
It's a shame because I feel like I have to read Avengers for New Avengers to make sense. Otherwise I would've dropped it post-Infinity.

So I just read the Noah hardcover that Image put out the other week, and I really liked it. The art was gorgeous, and it was a solid retelling of the story that I'm sure will still piss off some of the more hardcore churchies. But it was a moving story, aside from Noah himself coming off like a real dick in a few parts.
Also, I want to order the TPB's of Brubaker's Catwoman run from IST. They put me close enough to $50 that I might as well shoot for the free shipping. So what's good that I can toss on for about $10? And no, before you say it - I already have that.

I'm starting to find the TV box viewing of alternate realities in NA to be ridiculous. Hickman pls, bring your 'The Manhattan Projects' A game to the Avengers as well.

Flash #27-29 was a real fun and proper whodunit mystery. Actually enjoyed Deadman too, which I usually don't.

not much time for much else. i bought some comics in that Arrow sale that i have yet to read, and a backlog that sure as shit ain't getting smaller.
I read the the start of the latest Adventures of Superman arc, written by Joe Keatinge, and it's good. never seen Brent Schoonover's art before but he's got that Golden Age style locked down. great to look at, because there's also a few Ming Doyle pages in there as well.

I was continuing to slowly work my way through my Legion Archives yesterday when I realized how much I enjoyed the two issue arcs that they tended to adopt in the early 60s runs. It left you the chance to have the last page shocker while also giving you the pages for longer form story telling. It's an art form that is in rare supply these days of 6-12 issue epics.

Nocenti's Catwoman a great companion piece.
Any of the 3 original Harley Quinn series books.

Finished ARGUS. I really enjoyed the interplay between Killer Frost and Steve Trevor. Making Frost more sympathetic was a great move and I think she has great potential as a ARGUS Agent with Steve. The ending was not quite was I expected or hoped for but it has possibilities all its own so I'll forgive it. Crashed the landing but the flight was fun.
Superman heavy month for my votes I think. Superman/Wonder Woman and Action Comics were powerful. Not sure which I liked more. Harley Quinn #4 is probably getting a spot as the best issue yet, imo.

That's because back then they weren't writing for the trade, you could do more one and two issue stories because you didn't have to worry about making it fit into a six issue paperback.

Laziness pays off! 2 friends of mine have given up on single issues and begun only tradewaiting gave me tons of single issues. Most of the past year's batman, batman and _______ , and batman inc , including 8 villains month issues, 6 of which had the absurd holopraphic covers. The marvel now ff and f4 (it seems like they gave up on ff tho). One issue of satellite sam. Some of journey into mystery w sif. Some batwoman. Some wonder woman. I think every issue of all-new xmen but this doesn't seem like the best entry point for "attempt to get into xmen part 5." There's probably a few more books I'm forgetting. I feel bad for getting these two interested in comics. Too much damn money.
I'm excited to see if zero year was actually able to rebound from death of the family's abrupt and catastrophic trainwreck ending. I'm sad that one of the few issues missing out of these chunks of comics seems to be a zero year issue.
I'm sure I'll eventually wind up buying trades of all the dc stuff anyway if it's worthwhile, though.
Sorting through a stack of floppies is just so much fun, especially with all the strange variant covers. A shame there's so much money to be saved trade-waiting. Maybe I'll subscribe to every half-decent vertigo book or something.... it makes me sad that this is probably among the most concentrated doses of power to actually vote with my dollar in any entertainment medium. Have any of the newer vertigo books been good? I know unwritten is consistently basically the greatest thing on earth, still read fables, and am buying sandman overture in singles.

What's the over/under on Inhumans having little to no crossover or even mention of Mutants? Gotta make dat movie script conversion easy.

She is just trying to torture me at this point. Christ she depresses me.

FBP is easily the best of the new Vertigo series and you should definifely pick it up. Dead Boy Detectives has been awesome and that Buckingham art is spectacular. Hinterkind is all right, nothing special so far.
Also, i totally agree that Death of the Family stunk, but Zero Year is excellent and is putting this Batman run back on track.

Both Inhumans and Black Panther, which debuted in the issues 1-100 that should go with the FF license, are owned by Marvel.
Am I too harsh on Nocenti and her Catwoman book? Is it really as bad as I think it is. I am not even sure I can judge its quality anymore. Maybe its just an average book and thats why it hurts me so much. Not the all encompassing shit show that I say it is. Brubaker has shown me that it is possible for there to be an incredible Catwoman book. Then again Nocenti is nowhere close to Brubaker.

I have not caught up with Earth 2 yet.
Mostly excited for Detective Comics with the new creative team, Green Arrow and Moon Knight.
I just started reading my Uncanny X-Force omnibus and OMG the team if characters, the art and the story so far is amazing.

I just sent my top 3. One Image book and two from Detective Comics Comics Incorporated (Although one is from Vertigo).
Anyway, this is a smaller comics week, but I'm really looking forward to it.
