Comic Book Resources

Brilliant.

I'd buy Marvel Adventures Punisher, Wolverine: Insurance Investigator, and Wolverine: First Class - Cooking with Wolvie: The Sharpening in a heartbeat.

You jest, but if Marc Silvestri returned to a Wolverine book, I would certainly be interested. The Hama/Silvestri run was one of the most enjoyable that Solo Wolverine has ever seen.

Anyway, you don't happen to have heard anything on the art team for Dark Power Pack, have you?

That ringing sound is Quesada calling you to pitch for Marvel. Wonderful!

1st post!

nope, guess not.

Don't forget Dark Darkhawk.

Sadly, those Wolverine books sound more interesting than most of the Wolvie comics coming out right now (except for First Class, which I highly enjoy).

Funny stuff. Sadly though, as derivative as those sound I'd still rather read all of them than try the current crop of in-continuity DC comics. Their latest solicitations were a real snoozefest.

Hmmm... Must look out for the "ALL-DARK VARIANT" of DARK DARK AVENGERS #1...

Sounds like the exact opposite of "The Wisdom of Lobo" that came in the Lobo Slipcase...

(Anyone else going to admit to falling for that one when it first came out??)

Love the August solit. (why is it that Green Arrow was on time, but everything else has been SOOOO slow...)

Will Ultimate Wolverine Vs. Hulk tie-up before Batman: Cacophony???

This rocked. Thank you for the amusement.

ASTONISHING X-MEN: PULL BOXES #1 (of 2)
16 PGS./Rated T+ …$6.99

I laughed the most at this part.

Great stuff-I really enjoyed this. And I think a Wolverine cooking comic would probably be the best Wolverine book in years.

Pure gold. I especially liked the stock solicitation text "will he find out that it’s always darkest before the death by dawn?" Wolverine Insurance Investigator actually sounds like a great read though.

Logan’s the best there is at what he does… and what he does is provide humor in solicitations!

I'm waiting for "Dark Millie the Model". Just imagine a psychotic supermodel in the Marvel U, and they can just photo-reference Tyra Banks for an added sense of realism.

Is Dark the new Death? I remember the early 90's when everything was either "Death" or "Blood". Those comics weren't any good either.

I would so buy the Finnegan's Wake adaptation by Thomas and Sienkiewicz.

I would have liked to see Smith finish Daredevil: the target.

But then again, I would like to see Gaiman finish Book 5 and 6 of Miracleman
and Moore finish Big Numbers.

If wishes were horses ....

"If wishes were horses..."

...we'd all be eating steak.

(Joss Whedon has ruined this phrase for me forever.)

Oh Bill, your ruse almost had me! Genius!

"RETAILER’S NOTE: Special ALL-DARK VARIANT also available! Features no story or art content, only black pages stapled together."

I predict that this will be preferable to the actual content of Dark Avengers.

In all seriousness, I would buy that Wolverine cooking comic in a heartbeat.

I agree with Jeff. If Bill Sienkiewicz did the art for an adaptation of "Finnegan's Wake", I would purchase it without hesitation.

I would definately pick up WOLVERINE: FIRST CLASS - COOKING WITH WOLVIE: THE SHARPENING #1 (of 4). It sounds like GOLD.

I'm with Jason B. and Jeff re: Joyce.

Could Wolverine: First Class - Cooking with Wolvie be the next Snakes on a Plane? I have to admit, with that creative team in particular, I'd buy the book in a heartbeat.

It is nice to see, if Bill Reed is correct, that Marvel will be publishing a restrained number of Wolverine one-shots next year.

Zdarsky on Wolverine? Colour me SOLD!

Ha, very nicely done. You were pretty believable on Dark Dark Avengers because the comedy on 2 & A Half Men is so dark, I can't even find it. 10 of your finest variants for me please!

2010 solicits:

The Dark Age of the Sentry

Spider-Man loves reading comics with Wolverine in them

"Special ALL-DARK VARIANT also available! Features no story or art content, only black pages stapled together."

It's like a black mirror that begs the question 'how much more black can this be?' The answer is none. None more black.

But in fairness you should have seen the comic Marvel wanted to use.

Yeah, the All-Dark Variant thing is genius.

You should DC's next.

"I agree with Jeff. If Bill Sienkiewicz did the art for an adaptation of “Finnegan’s Wake”, I would purchase it without hesitation."

Hell, if Bill Sienkiewicz were to re-team with Alan Moore to complete Big Numbers, I'd buy 3 copies without hesitation!!!

No lie, these two books:

WOLVERINE: INSURANCE INVESTIGATOR #1
Written & Penciled by CHIP ZDARSKY
Cover by MARKO DJURDJEVIC

MARVEL ILLUSTRATED: FINNEGANS WAKE #1 (of 6)
Written by ROY THOMAS
Pencils & Cover by BILL SIENKIEWICZ

I would really, REALLY want to read.

What's wrong with being sexy, Annoyed Grunt?

I wish Bill Sienkiewicz on Finnegan's Wake weren't a joke. What the hell is that guy up to these days?

What the hell is [Bill Sienkewicz] up to these days?

Lucrative commercial/advertising art. Seriously, that's what he left comics for.

Someone needs to make WOLVERINE: FIRST CLASS - COOKING WITH WOLVIE: THE SHARPENING happen. I'd buy all four issues and the eventual premiere edition hardcover!

Maybe some, but he does a lot of movie, music covers and such, as well as still doing comics work.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nwDzATryei8 shows a live Roger Waters concert he did artwork for.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gJJGgioWiq8 has just the music and artwork.

It's not like he totally 'sold out'.

I wasn't trying to imply that he sold out, rather I was unsuccessfully alluding to the unconventional style he's developed and the usual idea of commercial art.

Oh, you think Rich Johnston has spies? Heck, my spies are much better. They are ninja spies.

Read more in 2009's Marvel superstar writer Bill Reed's creator owned Icon title; Bill Reed's Ninja Spies.

I can't stand Joyce and I'd buy that adaptation of Finnegan's Wake...

LOL - very, very funny.

Like everyone else, I'm up for Bill S on Joyce. Is Roy Thomas listening?

Let's not forget all the books going in new directions next year as Mephisto nullifies the marriage and children of Reed and Sue Richards, raises Captain America from the dead, restores the original X-Men line-up including Jean Grey, makes everyone forget that Matt Murdock is probably Daredevil, reveals that Uncle Ben never died but was magically transformed into the Sentry, bestows onto a LARGE number of pencilers the ability to deliver their pages on time and repairs all the editorial oversights and inconsistencies that now permeate the marvel line so that none of the writers have to come up with original, interesting or believable ways to allow characters to grow and change. Oh yeah, and he's also scheduled to change Namor's face from that of Brian Michael Bendis to the actual face of the Submariner. (And Namor is so relieved...)

Cooking with Wolvie sounds cute and somewhat perfect for the First Class series. I think it could only fill one issue, though. Maybe two, with an extended flashback to Wolvie's long-forgotten tenure as the first Iron Chef Italian (Seriously; that guy was on for two eps; he could've been ANYBODY!)

I'd actually enjoy a number of those. I'd also bet money that "Immigration Police" and "New Dark Avengers" will happen.

You know... I wouldn't put it past Marvel to try and give us DARK DARK AVENGERS in some form or fashion. I could easily see Osborn having an even more top-secret super-evil team to take down the evil team he has in place.

Hell, I wouldn't put it past him to have a team secretly made up of Skrulls.
