    They were trying to give the audience the impression that they were in the room, and the group having trouble making out who they were.

    Doom looks like he's about to transform and roll out or something. His face looks too robot-y.

    That issue where her and her Lady Liberators give aid to a Myanmar analogue seemed alright, but I'll admit that the only time I've ever considered She-Hulk worth reading was Slott's run, and even that went off track towards the end.

    Why are they doing a Daredevil noir series?

    I mean, isn't that just kinda redundant? Also, based on the solicits for Wolverine and Daredevil noir and reading X-Men and Spider-Man noir, the only profesions available to males in the 20s and 30s were P.I.s, Detectives, and Journalists.

    Moore hasn't been anywhere near as good as he was hyped as being. His Runaways arc has been marred by the lack of interesting villains of any kind, and I'm pretty sure he's killed Spider-Man <3's Mary Jane for good.

    It's cool to see Marvel giving such a big push towards some of their B-list properties, like Cable, Deadpool, X-Force, and Bishop. It really gives me a sense of them wanting those characters and books to succeed. It's rare that a book comes out and it seems like nobody at Marvel really gives a shit. Even niche projects like Hellcat, the Noir books, and the Marvel Apes stuff seem to be built up with a ton of buzz and word of mouth.

    I really hope Captain Britain's apparent tie-in with Dark Reign will drive its numbers up a bit into a slightly safer, more healthy area. Because it's a damn good book, and I was shocked to see it's not selling very well.

    ha... that's funny. Spidey 2099 has to come back and smack the shit out of Peter...

    it's also funny that you named the two 2099 comics I followed as a kid, Spidey and Doom. I've heard X-Men 2099 was good too, but I never got into it.
