Friday update

• Check out Rokk’s Comic Book Revolution for a great analysis of Secret Invasion and Final Crisis sales as well as a thorough look at what has differentiated Marvel and DC over the past few years.

• Not much has changed since Civil War, when Fin Fang Doom and I disagreed over using substitute artists to meet deadlines, as discussed in this recent post about DC’s decision to bail out J.G. Jones. So in the next few days, look for a column from each of us describing how now, two years later, we still find ourselves in the same position in response another Mega Event and the opposite decision.

• And check in tomorrow for a review of this week’s Book of Doom, Wolverine #66 — the beginning of the Old Man Logan story by Mark Millar and Steve McNiven.
