In the lead: Tarot and newcomer Charity O’Dare take a mindtrip through time. Turns out that Tarot is the one woman chosen in this generation to be connected to the Worldsoul, which is the living spirit of the Earth. And apparently she can talk to her former (and deceased) Worldsoul connectees. Or something. In the…
Best Artist- Marcos Martin, Amazing Spider-Man #578 There’s just something about Marcos Martin’s art that seems like a perfect fit for Spider-Man. His art reminds me a lot of John Romita Sr., and that’s really the pinnacle of Spider-Man as far as art goes. Unfortunately, this is only the fourth issue of Amazing Martin has…

But y’know, sometimes these needless mini-series turn out to be a good read. This week there’s four of us trying…

Also, Black Adam’s mysteriously shown up in Washington D.C. and taking his frustration out on Ares’ invading minions, while…
Man this does not look like a good week for comics. Not a whole lot to get excited about and even less that is an easy jumping-on point. So who wins when the comic readers lose? Marvel, apparently. X-Men/Spider-Man is a mini-series that I was considering investing in. The art I’ve seen looks pretty damn…
Dropped! Avengers: The Initiative I am sick and tired of Skrulls. How long has this invasion been going on for anyway? Aside from mutants and Spider-Man, the Marvel Universe has been completely dominated by Skrulls this year, and I can’t stand it anymore. Here’s my new rule: if a Skrull is in a book, and…
