Because I just got caught up and this is seriously epic shit. It's almost like old school 80's Claremont X-Men but without all the terrible Claremont-isms.
Same here. I assume you've been keeping up with Scalped. It is one of my fave books right now. The first couple issues had me thinking it was just another cliche "dude comes back home as an undercover cop" story, but I like where its headed now, what with the casino, and oh snap yo moms, and the side stories, and the white dude who thinks he's in the tribe and all.

There are some parts of it I dislike (Predator X for example) but I was pretty happy with the big reveal at the end of the most recent issue.
So I am finally going to the comic store wednesday or thursday, after not going for almost a month. I think I will have to change my pull list a little. Star Lord is over I guess (last issue waiting for me) and I am really not feeling Madman. I like the art, but I am starting to think the comic is just not for me. That leaves me with
Black Summer
Casanova
Fear Agent
Immortal Iron Fist
Lobster Johnson
I'm thinking about adding Umbrella Academy to the list. I don't give a shit about Way or MCR, but Ba's art is so amazing.
For whatever it's worth, the situation is not as clear cut as one
might hope. The reality of any writer workingfor any company, DC or
Marvel or Image, is that when you're handed a franchise character,
you're basically entrusted with something that the company owns, and
the company has final say in what happens to that character, because
as a writer, you're only there for a certain amount of time and then
the next guy has to come in. Spider-Man belongs to Marvel, not to me,
and at the end of the day, however much I may disagree with things,
and however much I may make it very CLEAR to all parties that I
disagree, I have to honor their position.
In the Gwen storyline, yes, I wanted it to be Peter's kids, Joe over-
rode that, which is his right as EIC. I got the flack for that
decision, but them's the breaks.
In the current storyline, there's a lot that I don't agree with, and I
made this very clear to everybody within shouting distance at Marvel,
especially Joe. I'll be honest: there was a point where I made the
decision, and told Joe, that I was going to take my name off the last
two issues of the OMD arc. Eventually Joe talked me out of that
decision because at the end of the day, I don't want to sabotage Joe
or Marvel, and I have a lot of respect for both of those. As an
executive producer as well as a writer, I've sometimes had to insist
that my writers make changes that they did not want to make, often
loudly so. They were sure I was wrong. Mostly I was right.
Sometimes I was wrong. But whoever sits in the editor's chair, or the
executive producer's chair, wears the pointy hat of authority, and as
Dave Sim once noted, you can't argue with a pointy hat.
So at the end of the day, all one can do is try to do the best one can
with the notes one is given, and try to execute them in a professional
way...because who knows, the other guy may be right. The only thing I
*can* tell you, with absolute certainty, is that what Joe does with
Spidey and all the rest of the Marvel characters, he does out of a
genuine love of the character. He's not looking to sabotage anything,
he's not looking to piss off the fans, he genuinely believes in the
rightness of his views not out of a sense of "I'm the boss" but
because he loves these characters and the Marvel universe.

Hot Nazi bitches.
My ass it isn't
they are also nuns and hookers and they work for a business man in glasses that runs a huge empire
see, the glasses make him evil
only nerds wear glasses, and they are scum.
I'd watch it.
Base this solely on the second script I let you read.
Marvel Zombies 2 #2
hey satan...: thinkgeek amazon My post |
I mean you'd fuck the script.

Sucks.
I mean, besides War Stories.
Actually, I was pretty impressed until I actually went and read them.
What else?...besides Sgt. Rock.
Are they just all zombies again running around in god mode
It was pretty good.
Have you read The Other Side?
Its a Vertigo comic about the Vietnam War, which you don't really see too often outside of Punisher. I think the tpb is out, really good stuff.
THE HELL YOU CAN
Deadpool actually has cancer, he's not pretending, like deviants you like to write about it
I don't know if it works that way, Keith, but it's a deal
I have such a boner for Jason Aaron.

He's gonna write Wolverine and Ghost Rider, if I remember right.

Not the cancer script
