Big Event Comics: Chaos War vs Brightest Day

Walt

When I first started reading comics there were very few crossover events and most comics finished the story within the pages in your hands. Big event comic themes were not the norm and most stories did not last very long. Comic editors had more say how stories were formed and story lines concluded. Then in the sixties Marvel Comics with Stan Lee and Jack Kirby with Steve Ditko and many others brought a explosion of unfettered talent and created stories that tied together for many issues and brought the reader…

Amazing Spider-Man #650 Big Time

Walt

I don’t usually preview upcoming comics but this one looks interesting. The new Big Time story line has been a welcome change to Spider-Man. His life is changing a new suit and new job, fighting a new HobGoblin. Who could ask for anything more. The last page of Amazing Spider-Man 649 left Spider-Man in a fix with a hipper sonic HobGoblin about to cut off his head. Crime-fighting has never been so tough. And on top of all that on December 15 release date it looks like he will have…

According to Marvel Comics editor-in-chief Joe Quesada, “Heroes will be heroes again… They’ve gone through hell and they’re back to being good guys — a throwback to…

More details about Marvel’s Thor emerged at Comic-Con International with the unveiling of the Infinity Gauntlet, the glove crafted in the comics by Thanos to harness the power of the Infinity Gems.
