Captain America: Reborn Prelude
July 1st, 2009 by Riff
Nice prequel to the Captain America Reborn arc from Brubaker available here. It’s relatively short but it’s free and let’s face it, it’s a teaser more than anything else but it’s a few extra pages that we get to whet our appetite. Marvel have gotten some stick for firstly killing Cap off and then bringing [...]

Captain America #600 (again)
May 26th, 2009 by Riff
Ok this is big. This is getting featured everywhere… I mean it’s low key but everyone’s got a teaser or something. What’s happening? Everyone’s reprising no news – just a list of the artists working on it, and some groovy artwork. I’ve seen a fair bit of Alex Ross out there, and frankly the world [...]

Comics: Voting with your Wallet
May 20th, 2009 by Riff
Christine posted an interesting article on her The Other Murdock Papers blog regarding the cancellation of Captain Britain and MI-13, and her post rang very true to me. The main reason it did so was simply this: I stopped reading Daredevil when Brubaker took over because I thought (after 6 issues of Brubaker’s run) that [...]

Captain America 600
May 13th, 2009 by Riff
So here’s some exciting tease from Marvel about Captain America Issue #600. Now, regular readers will recall the teaser I published here a week or so ago; the white star on a solid black background. I can’t be certain but I wonder if those events aren’t connected in some way.That said “July” The solicitation data [...]

Ed Brubaker’s Angel of Death (a non-review)
March 4th, 2009 by Riff
Ok I need to start out here by telling you I really don’t like what Ed Brubaker does. In fact, I make strenuous efforts to avoid his stuff because, frankly, I think it’s crap. (Ok, I’ve never met the bloke, but I intensely dislike his stories, although I want to be clear that I don’t [...]

Art or Artifact: Comics as Commodity or Entertainment.
February 22nd, 2009 by Riff
Comicbooks aren’t for kids any more it seems. Hell some of them aren’t for grown-ups either. For many they seem to be a cash cow, an investment, something to be stored in vaults, in plastic (or better still foil) bags, in acid-free cardboard boxes in low ultra-violet light, never to actually be read or enjoyed, [...]
