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.

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

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!)

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...)

LOL - very, very funny.

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

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

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 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.

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'.

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!

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

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

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

No lie, these two books:

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

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

I would really, REALLY want to read.

"I agree with Jeff. If Bill Sienkiewicz did the art for an adaptation of â€œFinneganâ€™s Wakeâ€, 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!!!

Yeah, the All-Dark Variant thing is genius.

You should DC's next.

"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.
