Dear Marvel, Sometimes, most of the time, while reading your publications I feel like you’re talking down to me. That your whole selling point of “We’re better because our comics take place in the real world” is a really nice way of saying “It’s easier for you to understand what’s going on because you do not have to immerse yourself in the idea of mythology”. What is the real world Marvel? I’ve never been to New York, so perhaps a 300-odd ft. Galactus does indeed stop by times square and go to that really nice looking 2 story McDonalds for a big mac. I just think that perhaps I would have seen that on the news. Also, why do you keep giving work to the writers of “heroes” when we all know that the show is awful? You know they’re killing comic books right?

comicbooks: Green Lantern #12 cover art by Simone Bianchi Everytime I see this cover I still become awed. Bianchi’s composistion on this is so simplistic in nature but so relentlessly striking. It’s rare these days that we see a villain image emoting this much glory. It’s comforting to no longer always see brooding and dark images of villiany, and a return to seeing them celebrate in their wickedness.

Last week brought the return of Bart Allen and Connor Kent. Geoff Johns simply could not go on as a writer without these two characters it seems. The best part is that Superboy (we can call him that now, legally, it’s okay) is being given “Adventure Comics” as his new vehicle (written by Johns) and will also co-star the Legion of Super-Heroes. In an interview with Newsarama Johns said “the book is in the same vein as Gary Frank’s and my Action Comics run. Accessible, bright, dangerous and open.” This makes me a giddy giddy man-child. Bart will be sticking around in the 21st century as you can already see in Flash: Rebirth. Even though they have “de-matured” him, I’m happy to see him back if anything because he was co-created by the late Mike Wieringo and his “death” was a little bit of a whimper. I’m still wondering what the chances are that Geoff Johns is going to find a way to pluck Max Mercury from the speed force before this summer is up (If he dosen’t turn up as a Black Lantern instead).
