Pretty much always been into comics, though I've been in and out over the years. About a year ago I started a business with a friend selling comics, toys and collectibles at cons. Hope to eventually have a store.

I didn't really pick just one this week. It was a good batch. I guess if I had to pick just one, it would be Morning Glories, but I don't know. FF#2 was also pretty great.
Read more about it at my blog.

- read moreI have a problem with dialogue in comics and movies that is just there for the sake of being witty or "cool." It's something that bugs me in about 60-80% of Bendis's work. It's like he gets caught up in his own Bendis style and forgets to move the plot forward. Show don't tell! More often than not, the characters wind up all sounding the same, too. This is also true of Kevin Smith movies. They all sound like Kevin Smith. I happen to think Kevin should have a talk show, but not make movies, because I actually do think he, himself, is funny. His movies, not so much. I think Bendis tries to be Tarrantino but winds up being Smith most of the time.
Ok, so I was gonna talk about Walking Dead. Issue 67 is basically a talky. But I in no way felt like I was reading pointless dialogue. At no point did two characters sound the same to me. They never have in this series. The conversation between Carl and Rick was about as real as I can imagine a conversation like that being. We had one big revelation come up unexpectedly, but somehow not so unexpectedly. My only complaint about this book every month, and it's really not a complaint, is that it always seems to be such a fast read. I think that's just because Kirkman leaves me wanting the next one right away.
- read moreBy now it's no secret that Daken chopped up The Punisher in Dark Reign, The List, The Punisher. The "fight" if we could call it that, was pretty hardcore. I'm not a fan of the Punisher, but it was still a good read. I'm mainly glad to see that Osborne means business and that Daken is as much of a badass as he's supposed to be.
Could have done with better art in this book, though. It felt like I was looking at someone's rough draft for plotting purposes only. Never understood the hype on Romita Jr.
So, I get to the end of the book and there's a preview for Frankencastle. WTF! They actually do something cool like kill somebody and right off they're bringing him back in an extremely ridiculous way. And it's not even an iconic, larger than life character like Captain America, Batman or Superman. It's the Punisher. You can kill him. We'll live.
- read moreThis is stricly how I would do it. It's not a prediction.
Osborn summons Mephisto or Mephisto somehow comes to him and reveals the details of the deal with Peter Parker, including his real identity. Osborn uses this to go after Peter, kills Aunt May and reveals to Peter the deal he had made with Mephisto. This pushes Peter over the edge and he does what Clint said he should have done long ago and kills Osborn.
This is probably way too dark for Marvel to do with Spidey, though.
