My wife is very good at buying good Father's Day gifts. This Father's Day, she surprised me with a copy of Tom Reiss's NY Times Bestseller The Black Count: Glory, Revolution, Betrayal, and the Real Count of Monte Cristo, which I have wanted BAD since I first heard about it on NPR last fall.

Luke Cage, Monica Rambeau, Falcon, Blue Marvel and Power Man on one team?

I have been saying for a while that eventually every hero in the Marvel U will be either an X-man or an Avenger (or both). I’m feeling more like a genius every day… But seriously, Marvel is slowly revealing the lineup of their upcoming book ~~MinoriTeam~~ Mighty Avengers, which is due to drop this fall, and I guess this is a good time for me to voice my opinion about it...

CLASSIC MATERIAL- "Looney Tunes: A Hound for Trouble"

PREVIEW- The Fall of the House of Usher #1 by Edgar Allan Poe and Richard Corben

Call me crazy, but I love Richard Corben. His comicbook illustrations exude an almost surreal quality with their slightly off balance construction and convincing texture.

PREVIEW- X-(Wo)Men #1, featuring (mohawk) Storm, and the return of Jubilee

For decades, Marvel's X-men has been the gold standard for diversity in comics. And I'm not just talking racial, national, and ethnic diversity. X-men has always featured the most complex and capable female characters in the superhero genre, so I guess it was just a matter of time before an all-female X-team hit the shelves, led by alpha-female number one, Ororo Munroe, better known as Storm. Here's some preview pages by superstar artist Olivier Coipel...
