As I type this I’m struggling through a pretty bad flu, which I am convinced I contracted on Thursday. That’s when I went for a job interview at the World Financial Center, a hermetically-sealed office and mall complex sandwiched squarely between the Hudson River and the now-cavernous World Trade Center site in downtown Manhattan. I’m…
Now available through ITunes (for free!), ComicMix Radio kicks off the week covering all the other cool comics out this week besides Captain America and a nice stack of new DVDs, too. Plus: Walking Dead celebrates #50 with a variant that might be tough to find Northworld jumps to Oni Press The WGA gives a…
The Merry Marvel Marketing Machine is firing on all cylinders once again, with coverage of this week’s return of Captain America (in the pages of Captain America #34) planned for every television channel, radio station, newspaper, mailing list and telephone pole on this planet and, quite possibly, a few others. What’s that, you say? It’s…
Well, given the writer’s strike and the fact that people have to cross picket lines in order to get in the building, The Colbert Report doesn’t announce their guests in advance. But Marvel Comics does. Marvel Comics today announced that Joe Quesada, editor-in-chief, will be a guest on The Colbert Reporton Tuesday, January 29. In…
United Hollywood, the news blog founded by a group of Writers Guild of America strike captains, is reporting that the WGA has signed an interim agreement with Marvel Studios " that will put writers immediately back to work on the Marvel Studios development slate." Marvel Studios chairman David Maisel said that they "look forward to…
Sure, we heard about this whole Civil War thing that was going on in the Marvel Universe a while back, but as far as we’re concerned, that was small potatoes compared with the epic, universe-spanning shenanigans occurring throughout the Annihilation saga. Okay, so Civil War left Captain America on a slab and Spider-Man unmasked. We’ll…
Damn. They blew it. Pulling off those universe-shattering “everything you knew yesterday will be wrong tomorrow” budget-busting bookshelf-breaking crossovers is a bitch. Few of them prove to be worth anybody’s effort, most of them are contradicted within a few weeks of their conclusion, and there have been way, way too many such “events” for…
We hear there will be somebody in a Captain America uniform come February, but no word yet as to who. However, thanks to this sketch hiding in Matt Feazell’s website, we have conclusive proof who it will be. Ladies and gentlemen, the new star-spangled avenger– Cynicalman. Oh, like you’ve got a better candidate. Trust me,…
So you wanna be a superhero. Okay, where are your powers going to come from? For years – nay, hundreds of years; nay, thousands of years – the brief answer was: From out there. Somewhere. The first superbeings in popular culture (the only kind there was, back then) were either gods, or pals of gods,…
O.K. By now you’re heard that "Captain America" will be returning to Captain America, in issue #34. Place your orders today, folks! I have no problem with Cap’s return. It was inevitable. That’s fine. I don’t know if it’ll be Steve Rogers resurrected; I certainly hope not. That sort of shoddy storytelling got tiresome about…

Wild Weather on the East Coast Friday stranded most of the Mondo Marvel panelists in New York (hmmm… wonder how ComicMix‘s E.I.C. made it out that evening), leaving Joe Quesada and C. B. Cebuliski to fend for themselves while sharing with the crowd images and news from upcoming Marvel projects. One other panelist, Rob Liefeld,…
