Those first "ten" pages (eight, really) of SECRET INVASION.
Oh dear. It's one of those comics where you need to have read everything Marvel have ever published, ever, to understand. Which is okay if you are Brian Bendis, Patton Oswalt, or Tom Brevoort, everyone else though just might get a little lost. But with Mark Morales inking, Leinil Yu's art has never looked slicker. Bearing in mind the flak I saw the guy get on the message boards over his (perfectly fine) work on NEW AVENGERS, that's probably a good thing.
DC are reprinting CAMELOT 3000 as a hardback.
Fair enough, it was a good comic in its day, stands alone as a decent enough yarn even now. Why I've been thinking about it lately is because I'm of the notion that JM Strawhassisface has been, uh, borrowing from it liberally during his relaunch of THOR for Marvel. In the same piece, RONIN, which somewhat unfairly has been treated as the red headed stepchild of Frank Miller's work for the big two, is also reported as getting the hardback treatment.
Here's a trailer for a new Marvel animated DVD. The actual cartoon it's from gets about a two second airing right at the start and the end, and looks like an unholy abomination, but it lulls you in with an elegiac sequence that references the work of classic Marvel artists like Big John Buscema and Gene Colan, in the static stylee of those goofy Grantray-Lawrence cartoons from 1966. Why not just make that section into a movie, inspired by that visual look, and leave the idiotic pandering to Disney? Why spend so much time and money making sure your big summer releases, IRON MAN and HULK 2, fill the multiplexes, and then undermine your brand with crap like this?
