I remember liking the initial six issues or so and Larroca's art his normal solid work. But I think he lost interest in it and it petered out. I think there were a few mini-series afterward that I didn't bother reading.

This late in the game!? Most countries' presidential candidates don't even start actively campaigning with how much time is left this election cycle by the time this episode will air (not to mention they're already promoting it).

I think his dad died during that period too, at least I remember that being part of the reason Planetary was delayed the first time.

Those two walking through on that last page…there were lot of great moments and set-ups for the final issue. #9 is going to be like 40 pages, right?

I really liked the design sense and the style of Spider-Gwen but the few issues I've read have just left me flat and it always feels heavy on reminding the reader that this is an alternate reality Spider-Man.

I might be wrong about the time frame on this but I think Ultimate Galactus was around the time when Ellis was wanting to step away from comics (and especially superhero comics) and do something else, but it was still what was paying the bills for him. Like he really wanted to do these pop comics (3 issue miniseries…

Neal was created at the exact same time as Claremont introduced the Neo (his fucking fondness for creating the next evolutionary step beyond mutants), which is partially why he's forgotten. The character wasn't a bad idea in and of itself and Claremont always had an urge to make the X-Men generally more diverse (and…

The first two were John and James. The third was Neal Shaara, who was actually Indian and not Native American. There's another Indian character who is (sort of) prominent in X-Men right now, Karima Shapandar, who I mistakenly thought was his sister but she was just a police officer helping Neal try to find his…

I wish I knew this when I visited Australia. I was not adjusting to the time difference particularly well (I watched a lot of tennis at odd hours) and every morning all I really wanted were some bacon strips. I was tired enough that every time I looked at the menu and "bacon" my brain refused to make the connection…

The amount of love Sage would get on the CBR boards was something I could never make sense of, outside of "vague character who doesn't really do much but kind of looks cool (which I think was mainly do to her sunglasses)." That was always a weird place to poke your head around in though.

Who has since been usurped by his older Sentinel sister. Is he even still alive, I have no idea.

"From the director with a slight fascination with Nazi Germany…"

"From the director who helped inspire the term 'spoilers, much?'…"

You mean, what is a Wolverine movie without the X-Men?

It's not as if these scripts actually call for her to be those things though.

It won't be a real X-Men movie until Lifeguard and Thunderbird III are in it.

I gave up on his Cap run pretty quickly and thought everything involving the M-Word controversy to be idiotic all the way around, including his reaction to it.

I've enjoyed most of his creator owned work and really love his Uncanny X-Force run. And I get the criticism with him, his comics tend to be really bleak a lot of the time and he can be quite cruel to his characters. But I think his plotting and pacing are top notch.

Ha, I got into it because I picked up Suburban Glamour on a whim and then made a joke about Elastica joke, so comic store guy suggested strongly I read Phonogram Rue Britainia.

Hot Rod's the primary focal point.
