Yeah, that scene was probably the most interesting part of the book. Just a shame that the low quality art brought the whole thing down. Magneto was so off model I thought that Lex Luthor snuck into...

To be blunt the art style on the cover doesn't inspire confidence. It's just too bright and cheerful, sterile if you will. Going through the motions of 40k but lacking that 'heavy metal' insanity...
I suppose that the only way things would change now is if Doctor Doom suddenly got a huge (and consistent) sales boost for the remainder of its run. That may give Marvel reason to reconsider the...
As someone who wants to see the proliferation of VR technology, I'm honestly glad to see a big name like Iron Man being exclusive. When used properly by a developer VR offers new gameplay experiences...
This is welcome news indeed. I'd had just about written-off this book as being stealth cancelled. With a bit of luck we'll get all the way to the end of this story arc with #10. I'd love for even...
Fear isn't the motivating factor here, it’s the convenience of VOD over theatre. Maybe 20-30 years ago you could credibly argue that theatres offered the best viewing experience possible. These days...
Incidentally, I just had a look at the earlier posts on that Tumblr page, they do mention the source of the concept art after all. It was the (appropriately named) 2099 sketchbook:

I'm honestly surprised to see such a significant sales boost for Doctor Doom #6. Was it because of Kang on the front cover? Regardless I'm glad the book managed to go out on such a high note before...
Thanks for the link, I generally avoid Tumblr but occasionally something useful does get posted there. Just read this blog's write up on Doom 2099, overall quite a fair analysis criticising how the...
Fascinating, I've never seen this concept art before. It looks like a scan from some sort of officially published art book. I don't suppose the page you found it on listed a source for the image?
Whelp, better start preparing for the worst. Even if Marvel Comics comes back in any recognisable capacity it's going to be a coin toss to see if any of the current ongoings survive.
Time to grab...
If you want to read gut-wrenching stories about oppression then comics books about super heroes are probably a poor medium for it. By definition a super hero is one of the elite; the very best that...
Eh, perhaps Alpha Flight's time was already over. A slightly campy Canadian super hero team was just a poor fit for the extreme attitudes and edgy overtones of the 90s. Even so, cringy storylines...
It's not very sporting to depict all your opponents as ignorant or hypocritical. That's bad enough when some of the lower tier X-Men writers try to pull the same stunt when they can't find any other...
Well, I'd say there's good reason that the previously long-running Alpha Flight was cancelled within two years of this issue being published. And that no Alpha Flight reboot since has been able to...
Whether in real life or in comic books I find insincere personas off-putting. Projecting a character as all gay, all the time, is tiresome to read about. There must be something more behind the mask.
Being confident in one's own sexuality is one thing, the problems start when a character's apparent sexuality seems to dominate their entire personality. It's the difference between having a...
If you liked Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes did you also see any of Iron Man: Armoured Adventures which was airing at the same time? I know that a lot of people never gave the show a chance...
That's quite an unusual question. A far as I'm aware though, no, I don't think Doom uses that sort of transformative magic. Even falling back on 'super science' Doom isn't really into forced...
ComiXology lets you download PDF backups of most indie comics. No app necessary, most modern PCs and smartphones have a PDF reading function as standard although Adobe Acrobat DC (a free download) is...
Not selling any comics period doesn't help anybody. Digital comics is the lifeline that this industry needs right now. I'm sorry that some LCS owners and employees are going to be hurt by a shift to...
If we're talking strictly ComiXology then Marvel and DC are the outliers. Just about every other Western publisher on the platform allows their comics to be downloaded as DRM free backups. It's...
The indie publishers like Image and IDW let you download offline copies of their books from ComiXology in a variety of formats. I prefer PDF comics backups for accessibility across different...
Just had a look at ComiXology, it seems Marvel still has a slight presence. Trades for Spider-Man, Conan, Ghost Rider and Ms Marvel. Along with a weird collection of comics loosely related to...
This is bullshit, no other entertainment industry has stopped digital releases over this virus. I can buy new eBooks on Kindle no trouble. Video games has been mostly digital for years. Even...
