Who made you the arbiter of that, exactly? When did that happen? Why was I not informed?

Iggy did so much innovating so early he could afford to coast for decades and Lou will still be playing catch up.

Iggy is awesome, it’s true, but was hit and miss after the Stooges.
Lou had the Velvet Underground, then his solo stuff – Berlin, inventing heavy metal etc and is still going today.
Iggy’s last album had him teaming up with that punk band thhat has the lead guy who was dating Avril Lavigne in it.
If he needs them on HIS album……….

And I’m confused as to why everyone is convinced that people over 50 are the coolest people in the universe.

T, Lou does music, Iggy Pop’s doing car insurance ads in the UK.

Lou can do music from now until the year 2399 and Iggy can die today and Lou will still not catch up in awesomeness.

What is the point of this column? I could go on my own blogspace and deliver the exact same content, as could any of us, and the only difference is, we wouldn’t be backed up by the reputation and resources of CBR. If there’s no point other than to fling random stuff at the wall …

As does the fact that the section of the website was opened late!

Agree with you on Brubakers Captain America, I love his storyline, but keep hoping at some point in time he realizes that Cap has other enemies besides the Red Skull and Aim. (It’s funny someone on here did a review about Captain America and the Mark Gruenwald version, where he claims that you couldn’t find an issue of Gruenwalds without mentioning the Serpent Society, well Brubaker has written 50 issues of Captain America and I’m pretty sure the Red Skull has been a force in about 40 of them.

By the way, did anyone catch what the name of the Ultimate Alpha Flight team was? I must’ve missed the earlier mention, and all I can tell from this is that it replaces Flight with Peacekeeper. I’d prefer Marvel keep the name Alpha Flight though for any revamp. Sure it doesn’t make sense, but then people have been asking exactly what the Avengers are trying to avenge for years. So long as it sounds good, I suppose. Then again, I am the kind of fan who geeks out when I see towns I recognize get mentioned (I showed all of my friends the Radius handbook entry that revealed he was born in my hometown of Hamilton), so what do I know?

Have a good day.

Cass — I remembered that, like, five minutes after I commented.

Oh, and thanks to anyone who said nice things about any of this post. I am a bit worried about those who enthusiastically support that Deadpool stuff, though…

Lou is still innovating, Iggy is just coasting.

Iggy did so much innovating so early he could afford to coast for decades and Lou will still be playing catch up.

Iggy Pop does car insurance adverts in the UK… tha is not, i repeat NOT cool!

He’s so cool he can do car insurance ads. That’s truly going against the grain and not giving a fuck what people think. I put that in the plus column.

Cass — And who was the fourth writer at the time?

DeMatteis, the best of the lot, no question, so not surprising he has nothing to do with the new mini. There was also Jurgens on Sensational Spider-Man, whose holographic first issue #0 – a brilliant marketing ploy not far removed from Cap #50 followed by Cap #600 – I own two copies of, one to read and one, of course, to sell. I believe it fetches upwards of 58 cents on eBay.

and as for John Lydon’s butter adverts….
