Iron Man: Doomquest

Monday, March 31st, 2008

Bob Layton’s run on Iron Man is one of those era-defining ones that happened before my time. You hear this sort of thing mentioned all the time - Mark Gruenwald on Cap, Peter David on the Hulk, that sort of thing. In fact, these kind of runs are so era-defining that when you look back on [...]

The Sunday Pages #8

Sunday, March 30th, 2008

It’s Superman, Superman and more Superman at Comics Daily this week. For plenty of good reasons - the recent judgment regarding Action Comics #1, obviously, and the publication of the brilliant All-Star Superman #10 are on our minds.

New Avengers #39

Friday, March 28th, 2008

Just as Gaydos returned for his stint on Alias’ Jessica Jones last week, so this issue of New Avengers sees David Mack returning to the character he had a hand in creating - Maya Lopez, the deaf hitwoman-turned-heroine known as Echo.

Dusting Off : Uncanny X-Men #269 (October 1990)

Wednesday, March 26th, 2008

Every Wednesday we take turns to delve into our trusty longboxes, pluck out a dusty back issue at random, and give you our thoughts. We’ll also try and place it in the context of the time it was originally published.
There was a time, before the earth cooled and the seas formed, when Chris Claremont was [...]

Justice League of America (vol. 2) #19

Tuesday, March 25th, 2008

Christ, what a barren week. With the exception of Amazing Spider-Man and Ex Machina (both of which have been covered too recently on here for me to do again so soon), there was nothing out that I actually follow on even a semi-regular basis. I decided, then, to check out a few different DC titles [...]
