"[A]s I got into my 30s and I got into my 40s, I really started to understand a lot more about what I have learned both good and bad from superhero comics as a kid. The upsides -- the obvious upsides: do the right thing, and save cats from trees, and be honest to people, help little old ladies across the street. The darker stuff that you learn... I mean, Jesus, everything emotionally stunted and wrong about me I learned from Mort Weisinger. ... I brought even more personal issues to Daredevil in terms of a lifelong struggle with depression. How you deal with that and don't deal with that, that's something I get a chance to work out with these characters, both Bruce Banner and Matt Murdock." -- Mark Waid

Zeb Wells is really an underrated writer, and pretty much entirely due to him, Avenging Spider-Man's been a pretty fun book so far. Issue #5 was particularly good.

I would personally like to thank BleedingCool.com for reminding me of why I come to this website and why I post.

To kinky cheap punk teenager thrills from unintentional inappropriate concepts in comics.
Context is for the weak.

How did I miss this? How did Marvel miss this?

So, last issue, the boy protagonist found out the space monkey who gave him his powers was actually a demon, and he'd have to sell his soul to hell to keep being Superior.

Concluding from my last post, I'd like to post scans from the second half of Superman: Birthright, which involves Luthor's first great scheme against Superman.

One of the most praised elements of Superman: Birthright was the great backstory it provided for Lex Luthor and his relationship with Clark. Posting that, among other scans:

This story is the one I liked best of all of Superman's numerous origins. It perfectly balanced both modern and Silver Age elements, and gave me the most moving depiction of Krypton's destruction I've read yet, along with the best-written past for Lex Luthor. I consider the first dozen pages as classic and sincerely hope the Snyder/Goyer reboot uses them.

Some scans below the cut,

I recently read an old interview with Paul Cornell where he said Mark Millar is responsible for his current comic book career. Millar called him up after watching an episode of DOCTOR WHO he wrote, "Human Nature," offering to connect him with Marvel editors. Before that, he'd been trying to get into the industry but not really getting anywhere.

So if Millar weren't a big name, none of Cornell's work for Marvel and DC would exist. That's funny.

Me again ;) So by turtlefu's suggestion, I'm presenting a short list of Filipino artists in the American comics scene. Some you might know, some you might not, but the point I'm trying to make today is how big a part these guys play in the Comics scene.
