I really enjoyed listening to your ordering discussions, Brian. Thanks for posting.

I really enjoyed listening to your ordering discussions, Brian. Thanks for posting.
I often don't get on well with Deconnick's work, but I really liked this. The world she's set up is intriguing, and I found both the writing and the art to have a lot of energy. I'm very much looking...
Yeah, I think a big part of it is the fact that Marvel is making an ongoing and explicit effort to appeal to broader audiences and specifically to women, for which effort I absolutely applaud them,...
...and that money is now being put into several other artists' pockets instead, very likely artists who will notice it more than Miles Manara. No one seems to have noticed that part, though.
Out of curiosity, what are the half-dozen or so titles at Experience with increasing sales? I assume Saga is one...
Aha, gotcha.
Especially the ladies? There are way more male characters solos than female character solos. I did a very quick and dirty count of solos in Marvel's September solicits and came up with 22 male solos...
Yeah, I'm really bummed about the Storm sales. It's right up there with Ms. Marvel as my very favorite.
What's the difference between the "best artist" category and the "best cartoonist" category?
QFT. I have been so annoyed by the revolving door of artists on this book. I was counting for a while, but I have honestly lost track. I think by the time we pick up with Guggenheim in #18, we're on...
I'm not convinced nature always has a lot to do with it. I think if a person lacks certain spatial-reasoning capabilities for whatever reason, or maybe some other capabilities, then comics might be...
Character removed =/= "run of the mill jingoism". I'm not really sure how you see those two things as being connected. Also I'm not positive that Blade leaving the book wasn't Ewing's own decision -...
I find it really unlikely that any Al Ewing book would turn into a run of the mill jingoistic title. I'm pretty confident that whatever he does with this, it's going to be good.

YAY. More Mighty Avengers, more Al Ewing, no more Greg Land. Ross is not my favorite, but I don't dislike him. This is almost everything I could have wanted for this title. I'm so excited!
"Top 3" FAVOURITE MARVEL HEROINE
1. SIF (I bet none of you would have guessed this, right? Right?)
2. Psylocke
3. Storm
"Top 2" FAVOURITE MARVEL FEMALE VILLAIN
1. Yelena Belova
2. Kashmir...
...I was actually just kinda being a smart aleck with that remark, but I stand corrected. Thank you!
Dumb question, though. On the very first page, how did we go from Storm in her cute skirt and boots in one panel to Storm in her costume in the next? Is this some mutant ability of which I was...
I loved it. I really like Pak's take on Storm, I love how expressive Ibanez's faces are and how creative his layouts, and this colorist Ruth Redmond is a treasure. I've never seen other work of hers,...
Yep, this is me, too.
I checked this out because I will never not read Ellis, and I like it. I might look into buying the next issue when it's out.
The Nick River story reminds me a little of Richard Fell. Fell's...
Just wanted to say that I continue to be fascinated by your adventures in owning a second store.
As someone who originally got into comics largely by way of that cover, I have to say that the book as a whole is just flat not very good. I enjoyed the Coipel arc quite a lot, but then the book got...
What book is the banner art and first set of pages from? With the blue people? That's not Moon Knight, is it?
I read and loved Amazing X-Men #1. I was surprised how pleased I was to see Firestar. I didn't realize I had much attachment to her before. She served as a nice humor device throughout the comic,...
