Walt

Brian Michael Bendis will be wrapping up his run on both the main Superman title and Action Comics this December according to the latest DC Comics solicitations. A couple months ago Brian Michael Bendis teased that he was nearing his run on Superman but DC Comics fans didn’t really have a clear idea of just how close Bendis was to wrap up his story. “I’m heading towards the end of my run on Superman, so I’ve been more reflective on it,” teased Bendis in June. “And it’s — I’ll never…

Walt

Superman’s world in the comics is getting a big shakeup thanks to Brian Michael Bendis but no one thought that we would see a screen villain from 1987 namely Nuclear Man, who debuted in the often criticized Superman IV: The Quest for Peace. It all started thanks to a joke by Nick Derington, who drew a sketch of Nuclear Man when Brian Michael Bendis was announced on the Superman title, and now he’s actually making his way into the series. “So when they first announced I was taking over Superman,…

Man Of Steel Orders Lower Than Expected

Walt

Last week we learned that DC Comics was making the entire run of the Man Of Steel weekly mini-series by Brian Bendis and selected artists returnable for retailers if the retailers upped their orders considerably. The trick is used to inflate order numbers by retailers and ensure that there will be more comics in print for all six issues. Also it is noted that there may be some problems giving all the different quality artist the time they need to finish the page count that they were given for the…

Marvel Civil War II #3 Review

Walt

I loved Mark Millar’s Civil War series in 2006–2007 with art by Steven McNiven. It had everything you would want in a cross over superhero comic extravaganza.

The act arose due to public pressure for accountability following a series of superhuman-related events causing significant damage and death within the Marvel universe. Tony Stark, the superhero Iron Man, who had…
