Marvel have clarified the initial press release and confirmed that each issue will feature dual numbering. So Avengers #1 will also be Avengers #691. I seem to recall they did this back in the early 2000s for a while. Personally I prefer this to the Legacy numbers disappearing completely....but I ex...

I’m still being super selective in what I pick up.

Aquaman 33 (Middleton cover)
Batman 41
Batman & Wonder Woman 1
Evolution 4
Moonshine 7
Daredevil 599
Defenders 10
Punisher Platoon 6

It seems like Marvel’s up to their usual tricks and will be relaunching a number of titles with new number 1s......so much for Legacy numbering! While Marvel throwing a 180 comes as no huge surprise I am amazed it is so soon after the much hyped Legacy launch. Funny how so many big numbered annivers...

According to Bleeding Cool the new creative team will be Nick Spencer and Ryan Ottley (of Invincible).

I can see that art style meshing for Spider-Man but I have to say it isn’t a creative team that excites me. I will give them a few issues to grab me though.

Hey Drew Jason Aaron would be interesting. He’s a great writer but I can’t think of anything he’s written with a similar tone to Spider-Man. Would be cool to see though. Mark Waid would be a bit too safe I think and his Avengers work has been a bit lacklustre in my view. I’d say Max Bemis and Kelly ...

With Dan Slott soon to leave Amazing Spider-Man after nearly 200 issues I wondered who you would all like to take over as writer. My personal choice would be Donny Cates. Unfortunately I think he would need to drop a title to make space as he already writes Redneck, Babyteeth, Thanos and Doctor Stra...

Similar to Nacho this was a pretty light week for me. I picked up;

Black Monday Murders #8
Kick A$$ #1
Kill Or Be Killed #16
Lazarus X Plus 66 #6
Port Of Earth #4

Marvel
Punisher #221

Aftershock
Babyteeth #8

Hey Drew. I pretty much agree with your ranking of King’s work but think I’d switch Sheriff ahead of Batman. I think he’s hit his stride on Batman now but I also think the I Am Gotham and I Am Suicide stuff was weaker. Due to this I’d put it just below Sheriff as I thought it was strong throughout.

After 6 issues I’m finally giving up on Tom King’s Mister Miracle. This is a title that I really wanted to like. I enjoy most books Tom King writes and am a fan of Mitch Gerads art. I think they were great together on Sheriff Of Babylon, but I just cannot get into this story and can’t see why it is ...

How would you cover the increased cost for the 10 additional pages on the $3.99 comics? Same question on the 40 page comics at $4.99. Hi John. To start with I think Marvel (in particular) comics are more expensive than they ought to be. DC can manage to produce 20 page comics for $2.99, and the lik...

Listening to the Mayo Reports it's clear that Marvel are experiencing a gradual sales slump, with numbers being propped up by gimmicks, combined with a general air of reader apathy. I've been thinking what I'd do in the imaginary world where I was given the task of overseeing a complete radical over...

Finally joined the forum after a few years of listening to the podcast! Here are my answers to the intro questions... What is your real name? Adam How old are you? 47 What do you do for a living? Data analysis and research in the advertising industry...I feel like John is a kindred spirit! What kind...
