NEW! 64-page giant, Uncle Ben dies on EACH page. As the reader turns each nail-biting page, we learn how a new Uncle Ben is revived and killed off, teaching Peter new lessons on power and responsibility with each grizzly panel.

Are you surprised by that, considering it says Quesada in the left corner?

Büge · « **Reply #2044 on:** July 06, 2012, 02:19:10 PM »

no, but I am boiling with the rage of a million suns.

Suns are well-known for their anger.

Thad · « **Reply #2046 on:** July 06, 2012, 02:39:44 PM »

...wait. Are you mad at Quesada just for existing at this point?

Sonic/Mega Man crossover comic happening.

Ian Potto and I are the same age and were involved in Sonic fandom at the same time. I skipped a grade, so I expect I was probably a freshman in college and pretty much done with the Sonic comics around the time he was mailing in submissions. Once in awhile I wonder what might have been. I wouldn't really want to work for Archie, but on the other hand it would probably be more fun than my current day job.

Brian Wood to do a Star Wars series based upon the original trilogy and nothing else

So, Splinter of the Mind's Eye?

Mongrel · « **Reply #2053 on:** July 10, 2012, 05:59:29 PM »

Yeah, seems like it'll have the same feel, basically.

Oh hey, here are some annotations for Century: 2009.

Again, I think the references are less all-consuming than in the previous issue, but they're still interesting.

(And it turns out nobody ELSE knows who the fuck those people in the "Will Mockney for Food" panel are supposed to be, either!)

Romosome · « **Reply #2055 on:** July 11, 2012, 06:01:15 PM »

hey about that Spidey thing

he's getting a new made up sidekick right when something horribly tragic happens

Anyone remember Arana? You know, Spider-Girl?

Doesn't look good for her.

Neil Gaiman is writing a prequel to Sandman.

I don't know what the appropriate level of cynicism for this event is, but it does seem to be following up on an opening whose existence was established right in the first issue of the original, and at the end of the day it is still Neil Gaiman.

Joxam · « **Reply #2057 on:** July 12, 2012, 07:50:27 PM »

doesn't matter had Gaiman

Zaratustra · « **Reply #2058 on:** July 13, 2012, 12:36:27 AM »

So they're making prequels to all the DC heavy hitters? Maybe they'll call Alan Moore back for a Swamp Thing OOOH oops.

Thad · « **Reply #2059 on:** July 13, 2012, 10:28:20 AM »

Well, Williams is certainly a good fit. And while I think Sandman is fine the way it is, it's certainly a better universe to expand than Watchmen. (I never did read Endless Nights or whatever the last post-conclusion collection was. Somebody told me he should have ended it with The Wake and I certainly FELT like The Wake was a pretty obvious ending point.)

I'm not quite so ecstatic as some people about more Sandman, but I'm always happy to hear Gaiman's writing more comics. Will see how it goes.
