Josh and Elisabeth of TFAW.com - my personal mail-order comics source - take customer service to the next level by reviewing their picks and nix of this week’s releases.
The world’s least subtle writer, Jeph Loeb, pounds us over the head with the “mutant-as-troubled-teenager” metaphor that has made all things “X” so successful since the Claremont days.
Aw jeez - they’re letting Jeph Loeb back into the Ultimate Universe?
If the purpose of the post-Ultimatum reboot was to clear out the junk and keep what works, they should keep Ultimate Spider-Man and jettison everything else. If Bendis wants to use characters from other books in USM, let him. Boom. Ultimate Marvel: all killer, no filler.
One stipulation - and this is a deal-breaker, absolutely non-negotiable - different haircut for Peter! He looks like Jake from Squirt TV (back when he was a spunky 15-year-old, not his current incarnation as a creepy balding 30-something).
Hi, I'm Matt - welcome to Comics Cavern, my Interweb spot for shooting my mouth off about whatever. Mostly I share my thoughts on the good and the bad of the wonderful world of comics, and sometimes other culture stuff like video games, movies, TV, etc. - after all, it's all becoming one big media mishmash isn't it? It's amazing how much of my comics reading is done on my iPhone and PSP.
I also share random pictures, videos, opinions, and generally spread the love. You ask nice, maybe I make with the sexy pix and videos. God help you. Enter freely and of your own will.
Want to send me stuff to review, add me to your press lists, or just say hi?
