![]() Rating: - A New Sorcerer Supreme?Everyone knows that in the Marvel Comics universe Doctor Strange is the Sorcerer Supreme, right? Well, evidently that's changing. There have been a lot of changes in the Marvel Universe, and some of them I haven't been too keen on. I have to admit, it took a writer as good as Ed Brubaker to convince me that maybe I needed a new Captain America. So maybe some changes will be all right. But Doctor Strange? Come on. The guy has been an icon since practically forever. Every time I ...

I'm a long time Avengers fan and this is a different kind of Avengers writing but it's incredibly compelling. it's fresh mainly through the dialogue -but also daring in themes and edgy because the characters seem to have more degrees of freedom in the things they say and do. Importantly, none of it is "disrespectful" to the Avengers stories of old - it's just a whole lot more visceral. This collection ...

Brian Michael Bendis continues his uncool shoving of Parker Robbins a.k.a. the Hood down the readers' throats. Bendis, it seems, regards the Hood as the next relevant ubervillain, except, sorry, I'm not sipping the Kool-Aid, and I kind of resent Bendis's persistently plonking the guy into these pages.
