I read Joe Quesada's letter and went back to Issue 19 confused by it just being Rita's bust, so flipped to the following Page 13, Panel 5 and wondering if that's what Joe Quesada was referring to with Dragon saying The Fiend tore up his nether region and he's not sure he can put it to use with Rapture.

A mystery for the ages... Somebody contact Joe Quesada and get to the bottom of this.

To be fair to that 10 year old, there’s probably not a lot going on in Moulton, AL. Also, “Mars Attacks,” has aged well, to its credit.

The original was controversial because Mary Jane is dead. Her death being caused by cancer brought on by Peter’s radioactive spider-cum. Kaare Andrews was definitely doing a Miller pastiche with his art and the book is basically Spidey’s Dark Knight Returns. This new one the art seems more McFarlane-esque. Whether that is an intentional choice or simply an evolution in Kaare’s art I’m not sure.

I liked the first few issues very much, then one issue felt very padded, and I wasn't blown away by the ending. So I'll probably get The Dark Age in paperback, and not collect the singles. I am still curious how Gaiman wraps this up. I hope he surprises me.

Thanks for watching! There's so much I wanted to say about this book, but it's hard to verbalize how effectively this story takes root in your brain while reading and sticks with you even after you finish it. I'm gobsmacked by the quality in every aspect of its creation. A remarkable comic that I'll forever sing the praises of. A revelation of how good comics can be.

Wtf is your comic on top of that looks like a giant table brain? Also the cover of issue 1 looks cool I might have to check it out based on your flip through.

You are pretty accurate with your description of the table brain. It was a piece from an art show that I've had sitting around the basement and decided to use it for these videos since it's more visually interesting than a white background.

There's not much that is similar to Michael Mouse, but I mentioned the Ben Marra in the video and he definitely has the outlaw comics pedigree with stuff like Night Business. Also Mike Diana is another depraved comic creator that was imprisoned and banned from making comics in Florida because they were so offensive.
