I have to say, even though I have been enjoying Spider-Man immensely again since "Big Time", the switch to "Superior" has managed to have me anticipating each issue even more than before. It's literally the first book I read in the weeks it comes out. That doesn't necessarily mean it's of...

I thought this was an okay start to the title, although in my opinion it tended to focus a bit too much on the "Uncanny" part of the book (i.e. X-Men). I've never been particularly interested in that part of the Marvel Universe save for a few certain eras, although I have of course read the...

Of course, I was thinking of issue #9 but was confused as the last Buffyverse comic I read (A&F) was numbered #9 already ;) Here we go! BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER: SEASON 9 #9 (Click to enlarge) WRITER: Andrew Chambliss COVERS BY: Phil Noto & Georges Jeanty PENCILS: Georges Jeanty THE...

Whew, it's been a long time since I visited this thread... and BtVS S9 issue #10 comes out tomorrow if I'm correct! Anyone else still on board for one (or both) of the titles? I have to say, things have been interesting (that's an understatement) over the last few months :) In Buffy, we found...

I'm not 100% sure, but I think the last time we saw Morbius in a comic book must have been during the "Franken-Castle" run in the previous Punisher volume. He was part of the Legion of Monsters and helped put Frank back together again after Daken more or less killed him by dismemberment. I can't...

I'm pleased Marcos Martin has won his own Theme Week on CBC! He has quickly become one of my favourite artists over the past few years :) He has such a distinct and instantly recognizable style and I love how it feels kind of retro (Silver Age-ish) but adds in many modern touches and details...

You're welcome! Sadly, I forgot to update the thread for the latest issues of Season 9 (both #5 issues) a few weeks ago :sweat: For anyone still following the Mark Watches website that I linked to, he just did the season two finale the other day - which of course was awesome. So awesome that...

I've really been enjoying this run of the book! So I hope Rick Remender gets to continue on with it for a long time yet. It's refreshing to have a Venom who isn't basically a one-note character ("I WANT TO EAT YOUR SPLEEN") for the first time in years. Having it neatly tie into current events in...

Oh and I must add, the fact that (in the Buffyverse) a vampire isn't actually a person, but a demon possessing a person's body harkens all the way back to the explanation Giles gives in the first season of BtVS (episode 7: "Angel"). Not that I think they're trying to reference that particular...

The above issue actually came out last week, but I forgot to post the update. I also haven't managed to get a hold of it yet, but I have recently read the previous month's installments of both BtVS and A&F. I'm liking the direction the story in BtVS has been heading so far. The repercussions...
