"I've read that if Sony fails to make a Spider-Man standalone movie in a six-year period, the rights will revert to Marvel/Disney. I don't know if it's true, but it would explain the rush to make Amazing Spider-Man so quickly after…"
"Read the penultimate Eerie this week. I was surprised at how many artists I could name before checking the credits. These books are where I first saw Rudy Nebres, E.R. Cruz, Estaban Maroto and many others, and the Li'l Capn's brain…"

"Which era of Superman? Luthor used it first in the Golden Age, I think. I vaguely recall Professor Lang finding it in an issue of Superboy in the Silver Age, where Clark added it to his rock collection, and got sick at night since he was sleeping…"
"This should be noted: Spider-Man will be included in the Disney theme parks, because while Sony has the movie rights to the wall-crawler, Disney still owns the merchandising rights. "
"Turns out I really need these summaries, because my comics shop sold out of Powers of X #1-2, while having tons of House of X #1-2. That makes no sense to me. Why would so many people buy half the story? Anyway, that means I have to order Powers of…"

"I've thought about Siancong War a little more, trying to figure out why it struck me badly.

"It seems to follow a pattern on the show that I don't know to be deliberate, but appears to my eye. And that is the elimination of super-powered characters -- or at least ones requiring F/X. Firestorm, the Hawks, now Atom, all gone. And even…"

- Cap, a slight correction to your "Reprint Wishes" in CBG #1680. It was the Armorines that wore "Iron Man-type armor." The bodies of the H.A.R.D.
