Back in the early 2000s Marvel Comics was a bit of a weird place, full of superheroes of course, but also, thanks to the work of Bill Jemas and Joe Quesada, rather prone to some interesting projects coming from different places.

Astonishing X-Men: Exogenetic By Warren Ellis and Phil Jiminez (with Andy Lanning – inks and finishes) Marvel Comics I read Exogenetic late one night/early one morning, deep into that time when I should really have been asleep in bed rather than drifting in and out of consciousness on the sofa.

Superior Issue 1 By Mark Millar and Leinil Yu. Marvel Icon Last week I praised at least a partial return to form for Brian Michael Bendis with Scarlet. And today, it’s Mark Millar’s turn for review. But sadly, not his turn for a return to form. Not with this flabby, far too short, far too [...]

Twitter and Tumblr combine with artists jumping all over the Marvel Cats meme going round. Twitter search here, Agent M’s Tumblr collection here. If I were you I’d look at it now, have a quick giggle and a smile and then ignore it before it gets really annoyingly ubiquitous. (Catlactus by Chris Eliopoulos) (Daredevil Kitty [...]
