[althechi]

It's really not easy to pick out one for this day, considering the sheer number of choices. Therefore, I decided to choose one artist who might be overlooked among all the greats that come to mind.

Therefore, I present:

This guy makes me want to buy Bendis*:

( Alex Maleev )

*To be fair, I actually really like some of Bendis's stuff and he and I seem to have similar tastes in characters. So maybe this guy just makes me want to buy more Bendis than I otherwise would.

First Look at Hulk #25

[nova_prime]

Since we had a look at Incredible Hulks #112 earlier, why not Hulk #25 with the new creative team of Jeff Parker and Gabriel Hardman via CosmicBookNews!

Can they pull Rulk off?

Hate it or love it, Loeb and McGuinness' Rulk was entertaining!

Ex Machina memories

[stubbleupdate]

We begin with apologies to EJ Thribb (17)

So. Farewell then
Ex Machina
Eisner Winner

It would seem that
You have ended

But is it an end?
Or just a pause?
Because our stories don't end

And is it THE end?
Or just AN end?

Just one
Among the branes in the bulk.

And, have the contribution of Brian K. Vaughan and Tony Harris for New York Magazine's ( What if 9/11 never happened? )

And two pages from #11, the beginning of the Fact vs. Fiction arc. "Heartbreaking" or "breathtaking" is the word I'd use to describe this.( PLEASE )

30 Days of Scans! Day 14: Favourite writer - Dwayne McDuffie

[keeva]

These aren't my scans, but are by David Brothers at 4th Letter.

As I mentioned before, Dwayne McDuffie is my favorite writer. He's one of the founders of Milestone Media, the creator of Static, an award-winning animation writer, a video game writer, and someone who has written most of the major characters at both Marvel and DC. He's got an active discussion forum on his web site.

Someone asked about Rocket, the young woman who was telling off Batman in one panel. Here are some scans apparently from Icon: The Mothership Connection, the second trade paperback collection of the series starring teenage superhero Raquel Ervin. This is also a late "favorite female character" post, since I love Rocket.

Update : gotta fix the scans but my net access is down, please look at the link above

From Fantastic Four Annual #2 by Mike Carey and Stuart Immonen (the definitive Ultimate Fantastic Four artist for me) comes this tale of smart kids and giant monsters.

In the Ultimate Universe, the Baxter Building houses the Nursery, an army R&D facility that took the best and brightest of teenaged super geniueses. Run by the father of Sue (biology genius) and Johnny (no sort of genius) Storm, Reed Richards joined the programme. In the Ultimate universe, Reed, Johnny, Ben, Sue and Victor are involved in an transdimensional transportation accident, giving them their powers.

The Baxter Building was used to house the Fantastic Four and the Nursery moved to Pinhead Buttes, Oregon for Nursery 2.

Let's look at the kids in the nursery

And they were never seen again

Batman Beyond becoming an Ongoing, apparently.
