Yeah, it's dead now.

This installment of the column has the new site for the Life of Reilly.

The Life of Reilly link is dead, or missing, or something. The website certainly isn't useful any more.

In regards to Defalco, at the time, wasn't Marvel doing direct distribution? Meaning that while the distribution numbers may have ranked the comics at a certain level, they did not take into account the numbers that Marvel was selling through in house distribution?

Not sure how all that works, so just offering it up.

I got Charlton Bullseye as a back issue a few weeks ago. So I never really looked to see if how bad it was printing wise. Tom DeFalco was an ok EIC. Its just that he put himself on books like Spiderman , FF and others. And its clear his talent level wasn't where it was at to do that. Its a lot like someone backstage in wrestling who controls and books the product , then trots themselves out there in big storylines when its clear he shouldn't be there. ( cough..Vince Russo) I liked DeFalco's FF run. I liked how he killed Doom and Reed Richards. How he brought Scott Lang and his daughter into that series. But the whole storyline lasted too long and had no payoff. 2 of the biggest characters in Marvel return in a " nothing " issue. I can see how many didn't buy FF for DeFalco's work. Many call it a huge step down from Byrne. Wizard when they had balls would take shots at it on a near monthly basis.
