Wait, a guy with the S badge on his chest is being killed by Doomsday?

Well he'll DEFINITELY stay dead, then.

So I finally read ASM 450, the beginning of BIG TIME. I saw the costume design quite a while ago and I really liked it, I doubt it'll stay forever but who knows. Reading this issue though, I can see it being a big hit, not quite symbiote level but almost. I mean [spoiler]Invisibility and noise canceling? I can see how people would like that. Me on the other hand, Spidey is supposed to be noisy and talkative and trying to distract the villain as much as he is fighting. [/spoiler] But I really dig the science aspect of it, and I like Pete's new job.

I am learning about the existence of all kinds of incredible things at work.

There is a Flex Mentallo. And he loves us.

So Joe Quesada stepped down as EIC for Marvel. It's probably not going to change anything, but it's news.

Thad · « **Reply #1065 on:** January 04, 2011, 02:39:17 PM »

Probably not. I like Alonso, but then, I liked Quesada when all he was doing was editing Marvel Knights books, too.

Bal · « **Reply #1066 on:** January 04, 2011, 03:05:53 PM »

I liked him as EIC until he started projecting his mid-life crisis and messy divorce into every corner of 616 continuity.

Thad · « **Reply #1067 on:** January 04, 2011, 04:59:39 PM »

Pretty much.

And honestly the "Spider-Man is single again!" idea wasn't a bad one, it's just that there was no good way to do it. And out of all those possible bad ways of doing it, he chose the worst short of fridging her.

And then when everybody got past it and was realizing that hey, this new direction is pretty good, he came back and reminded them of the incredibly stupid means he chose of getting there.

Oh well. At least he's still CCO. Which means he probably won't go back to drawing terrible Batman costumes.

(Actually, talking of DC, weren't harsh words between Levitz and Quesada the reason DC and Marvel don't do crossovers anymore? Not that I can think of a pitch that would top JLA/Avengers, but just throwing that out there.)

Wh-

There's an Ant-Man and Wasp series?

Isn't Ant-Man Wasp now?

Mongrel · « **Reply #1071 on:** January 05, 2011, 08:49:56 AM »

Ant-Man spends a lot of time talking to a cardboard cutout of Wasp as if it were a real person.

I'll admit it's tempting, but the real be-all end-all would probably be Morrison continuing Multiversity through the Marvel U.

And Eric O'Grady is Ant-Man now.

...anyhow. Looks from that list like a cheap week, which is good.

I'm taking a cousin to see Tron today and think I'll swing by the comic shop first. Get him something nice like a Spider-Man.

Mothra · « **Reply #1073 on:** January 05, 2011, 10:46:15 AM »

Well it's good to see the mutton chops are back.

Is O'Grady still spying on various marvel characters showering?

ALSO: Ant-man has a daughter?

WARNING: Do not buy Batman Beyond. It is terrible. It involves a plot by a villain who gains his powers by literally just walking into the Justice League vault and stealing a super-powered item.

It then ends with the Justice League casually remarking that huge casualties in the mall they're trying to save would be no big deal.

This book. It may be the worst thing.

Niku · « **Reply #1075 on:** January 05, 2011, 05:53:05 PM »

Also DC's covers this week all matching is fucking retarded because while the minimalist thing might look good across a line or something doing it starting at a random issue in all of your lines just looks silly as hell.

McDohl · « **Reply #1076 on:** January 06, 2011, 09:50:31 AM »

I wish I had picked up a comic I had seen in Lone Star a few months back.

It was a comic about Rush Limbaugh.

Also, a few days ago, I saw the funniest thing: a current Archie comic, about Archie and Reggie opposing each other in the elections for student body president. Veronica gets Archie to come to some party of hers, and who else would be there?

Obama.

No foolin'.

Someone gets a photograph of Archie and Obama together, and this hacks Reggie off to no end. So what does he do? Seek endorsement from Sarah Palin.

No foolin'.

I kinda want to read the new Batman Beyond series just to see how terrible it is.

Pity. But good thing I dropped it.

I'll say one thing for unemployment: it's done a good job of forcing me to reevaluate which books are worth picking up. I've dropped all the Bat-books except Inc and Batwoman (and I'll hold on for Cornell's last issue on B&R and the rest of Knight and Squire). Between that and DC dropping most of its books back down to $3 I'm now spending under $20 a week on comics.

The downside is that Jimmy Olsen is now a separate book and I'm probably going to start spending $3 a month on it, but I think I've made enough cuts to justify it.

Büge · « **Reply #1079 on:** January 07, 2011, 09:00:08 PM »

Yes, but why go to all that effort?
