So I've just read Spider-man 24/7 HC. One of the stories is a 2-parter where the FF take Spider-man into the Macroverse and the Human Torch is miffed that Spider-man doesn't share his ID with them, and he

These were featured over on Bleeding Cool, and I thought I would share them here... An artist put up some mod prints of superheroes for sale on Etsy (at least until Marvel's and/or DC's lawyers shut him down), and there are some really good designs

The second of my three heroes (Fred Rogers, John Wooden, and Sparky Anderson) is gone. The world is a better place because of his presence here.
I've been re-reading this one, lately. It's a fun read. It helps that I had some familiarity with some of the characters - when I was a kid, my parents would go up to Canada, and they'd bring me back copies of <i>Lion<i/>, <i>Tiger</i>, <i>Eagle</i>

I just wanted to bring everyone's attention to a number of "First Look" preview pages that have come in lately, and are posted in the Comics News group -- including more than 40 pages of the Witchblade Vol. 7 trade paperback!

I've really only read Hawkeye and Mockingbird #1 so far and, although not as good as the first issues of SHIELD and Secret Avengers, it was still a fun comic. Now, here is a storyline with a backstory of sexual assault and death, but it never wallow
