Thanks for posting the show, American chums, it was the perfect length for my walk to work.

Talia? Nah, she'll always choose her dad over Bruce - has she ever seriously tried to, you know, stop being a poisonous dragon lady murderess? I say Silver St Cloud, the first woman to see through his secret ID and the only one with sense enough to walk away.

The Woodchucks are on the Scalped cover? Darned if I can see Huey, Dewey and Louie anywhere. And if any non-Brits haven't seen the final episode of BBC sitcom Blackadder Goes Forth, check it out for a surprisingly touching look at the Great War - I wept buckets at the last scene.

Wolverine, he's stinky.

Hurrah for Chris, I like Around Comics. And Sonia, a fellow Brit, and in SF. Ever go to Lori's Diner? I LURVE Lori's Diner.

Hi, I met Mike Carey at a con a few years back. He was writing for British comics solely back then, with a day job as a teacher. So I'd say he wasn't an established writer pre-comics, unless you count writing 8/10 occasionally. Lovely fella!

And here's another 'well done Mike' - nice job. I've also not tried Invincible, I've a bit of a mental block about adjectives used as nouns. Also, in podcast discussions of the book, I can't recall hearing a unique selling point for the character. It's usually - as it was here - it's like Ultimate Spider-Man. Well, that's not a book I read, so I don't bother. And if I did,I likely wouldn't bot...

I loved this book to bits, I'd be happy if Slott and Martin were producing the only Spidey book every month. Finally, something other than Peter's camera clicks. I did smile at the book MJ had at the end.

Hey look kids, it's a great Secret Invasion tie-in. Writer Paul Cornell (Doctor Who, Primeval, Marvel's Wisdom mini-series), penciller Leonard Kirk (Supergirl,JSA)and colleagues present a tale of Britain's greatest heroes in a time of trial. Said heroes are Cap aka Brian Braddock, 'hot knife'-throwing spy Pete Wisdom, speedster-vampire Spitfire, John the good Skrull Beatle, Dr Faiza Hussain a...

I'm with Patio, the Ostrander/Mandrake Martian Manhunter series was a gem. We learned about JJ's many secret identities, details of his past, met such fascinating characters as Bette Noir (she's better than the name, honest) and more. As for Superman, in the Silver Age he was familiar with Klurkor, which was a Kryptonian Karate or somesuch. I bet he still has the chops.  I also love log...
