Ultimate Kingpin: Part 2
Jul. 4th, 2011 06:06 pm
So to recap: Spidey learned about the Kingpin's presence in New York and wanted to do something about it. He managed to infiltrate the Kingpin's quarters and stole his security tapes, finding evidence of Fisk murdering one of his underlings and releasing it to the media. Thus, Kingpin fled the country.
Now...he's back.

Ultimate Kingpin: Part 1
Jul. 2nd, 2011 12:39 pm
After the 'Ultimate Venom' posts I did last month or so, I figured I'd do a series of posts on the Kingpin from Ultimate Spider-Man. IMO, the Kingpin is one of Bendis's best characters both in and outside of Ultimate. Bendis had a background writing noir/crime comics prior to coming to Marvel, so its not surprising that the first major villain in the series after the Goblin would be Wilson Fisk.

D-Man in Pulse

fullbodytransplant posted a splash from New Avengers #7, where a bunch of superheroes interviewed for the position of Danielle Cage's nanny. They were meant as cheap gags in order to make Squirrel Girl look better, but the portrayal of one character just pissed me off. And that character is D-Man.

For a long time, Marvel's annuals would feature short stories starring "supporting" characters. This one features Ben Urich, tough reporter, going after a drug lord named Lambert who has a HUGE ponytail.

3 and a half pages of a ten page story.
( Ben Urich is not a tough guy. )

DAREDEVIL: A brief history of crime
Nov. 18th, 2009 12:01 pmWhen I bring up topics of class warfare or wartime morality, the responses get... active. So I thought I would post a page from DAREDEVIL (Vol 2) #56 where Ben Urich gives a brief history of crime in New York City.

Personally, I wouldn't say "no reason." The people responsible for Prohibition simply didn't understand (or couldn't fathom) how far some people would go for booze.
It should be noted that during this section of the Bendis run, Ben Urich thinks Matt Murdock had a nervous breakdown (his third, I believe).

No Country for Spider-Men
Sep. 2nd, 2009 06:09 pmI moved from San Diego back to Austin this week, and have not had time to do more Legion stuff. I do like talking about art on s_d a lot, though, so I decided to just repost something from the old s_d.
Without further ado, here is issue #141 of the Spectacular Spider-Man, by Gerry Conway and Sal Buscema (although I strongly suspect the hand of Janson here).
