I think the good and bad thing with Bendis is he knows he's going to write the book for years. It's good because he can really build character when he wants to, but it's bad because there's no urgency at all. Ultimate Spider-Man has obviously been a good example of the former, but I feel like most of his books are…

I'm glad you mentioned the cover, Oliver. They've consistently been some of the best in comics. My favorite is probably #23, but #35 is great too.

As a new comics reader, the consistently low quality of these Marvel events versus the high quality of the rest of their line baffles me. I buy two of Remender's Image books, and if one of those had dialogue like the first page of Axis #1 did, I'd drop it immediately. Similarly, Aaron's Thor was great (other than the…

I feel pretty strongly that a new #1 is coming - maybe not in February, but sometime this year. If Pulido would go back on art, he'd need some time to get ahead, and if it's a new artist, Marvel likes relaunching then anyway. Plus, with Charles Soule's Marvel contract (and his stated love for the series), I'd be…

Oliver asked above why She-Hulk isn't selling like Harley Quinn, and while there are a few reasons, I don't think advertising is the big one - I think it's the art. (I say as someone who buys the book and mostly loves Pulido.) Harley has covers by Conner, a proven seller, and DC's house art doesn't turn the majority…

I think they are taking digital sales into account - just because we don't know the numbers doesn't mean they don't look at them. (I especially think they look at them because the margin on digital singles has to be higher than physical ones.) I just figure, for the vast majority of books, the books that sell well in…

I was fully prepared to pass this over as just another gritty reboot and an easy way to capitalize off of Afterlife, but once I flipped through it in the store I knew it was wrong. Very surprised I'm pulling three Archie books now (with The Fox returning sometime next year).

I liked Batgirl an awful lot, but I think your comment about people our age is interesting. I like to read comic message boards to get a sense of what older fans think of changes and a lot of people are saying this book is trying too hard to be hip or that it's a fake representation of youth culture.

This is just my own theory, but I think Remender would be more interesting if he only had a couple books out per month. As is, he has five monthiles (plus the Marvels double shipping every once in a while), AXIS coming out three times a month, and another Image book in 2015 (that I'll probably buy mostly for Sean…

Hello. Been reading these for a while and figured I'd join in.
