Yeah I pulled a vanishing act again, but here I am. Did you miss me? Been reading a lot of Classic material via Marvel Essentials and DC Showcase books. Look for a review of Essential Spider-Man vol. 2 and Showcase presents Shazam! vol. 1 in the next few days.
To clear out old business, Allen obviously declined to comment on the Gurumonkeys post. Why? Well I assume it's because it was all true and he couldn't argue with it. All I got was an angry e-mail thanking me for airing "dirty laundry". Oh well, even tho he's a flake, he's a talented flake. Check out his stuff here.
I also recently sat down and read all the Spider-Man: Brand New Day stuff, and although it's pretty good (Title averages a Huh? over all), I can't get past the tinkering that got us here. One More Day, will hang like a dark cloud over the Spider-Man mythos for quite some time. And I'm not the only one I guess, as sales have dropped to lower than pre-OMD sales levels. Oh well.
And is it just me or do the BND writers seem like they are drugged or being held hostage in interviews? They are all very defensive about OMD, and will talk in crazy circles to avoid it. "Never mind OMD, look we're writing Spider-Man!. Do not look at the captor, uh I mean man behind the curtain." I feel sorry for those boys as some of them are quite talented.
And as for Final Crisis and Secret Invasion? What do I think of them? Well, lets just say there's a reason I've been reading more classic stuff...
