I take a brief hiatus and return to the news that the House of Mouse is buying the House of Ideas? Did anyone see this coming or can the number of people aware of the sale be counted on both hands? Dire predictions of how Disney will ruin Marvel abound on the Internet, but apparently it could take until the end of the year for the acquisition to actually take place, so there’s plenty of time to learn more before worrying.

In today’s column I write about how eager I am for the next creative team to begin their tenure on Marvel’s Fantastic Four, as well as my thoughts on Marvel’s upcoming Spider-Woman series. I’m excited about both and that’s actually somewhat exciting itself.

I didn’t attend Comic-Con International: San Diego 2009 but I read all about it on the Internet. That’s almost like being there, right? No, probably not. Still, I discuss some of the videos I watched and some of the things I read about over the past four days. And I’ll review Captain America #601 (A Very Special Issue).

With the San Diego Comic-Con coming up later this week I discuss my one and only experience with a convention. I also write about not having read Captain America: Reborn #1 despite having had it waiting for weeks. And I propose making Marvel’s upcoming Spider-Woman continuing series the third ongoing title in my sad little pull list.

In today’s column I discuss why I dropped Vertigo’s Air, my continued waffling over the issue of switching entirely to trade paperbacks and why I might be interested in DC’s Justice League: A Cry for Justice.

Earlier today I learned all about Supergirl’s underwear. It’s not as strange or creepy as it sounds. Certain folks at DC simply lean more towards modesty these days. Read on to learn more. I also talk about the trouble I’m having trying to switch entirely to buying trade paperbacks for new miniseries. And finally, I give my thoughts on Dark Reign: Elektra and Dark Reign: Fantastic Four.

I’ve finally had a chance to read Captain America #600 so I can give my thoughts on that issue as well as the upcoming Captain America: Reborn miniseries that starts this week. I’ll also talk about WildStorm’s intriguing Storming Paradise miniseries and DC’s latest The Warlord series.
Captain America #600
Has it really been 600 issues? According to the cover gallery included in #600 it has. I know I haven’t read nearly that many, only picking up the series around issue #438 of the first volume. I’ve been with the title, through its various incarnations, ever sense. #600 was interesting but certainly not worth $4.99 so I’m glad I got it through my subscription.

It’s an all-Fantastic Four column, with a review of the most recent two issues and a commentary on the way many covers have artwork that doesn’t accurately reflect the actual story told in the comic. Read on.
Review: Fantastic Four #566 & #567
These two issues of Fantastic Four (originally published on May 20th and June 10th, 2009) represent the first half of the “Masters of Doom” storyline that will close out Mark Millar and Bryan Hitch’s run on the title. The first issue saw the Marquis of Death and his Apprentice show up in Latveria where Doom had put together a lavish welcome for the duo.

This week’s column discusses Marvel’s Reborn, which is still a mystery to me, the Marvel OverPower card game and the problem of rereading comics.
Reborn Revealed; Captain America #600
Although the news is all over the Internet (I even saw a headline at CNN.com) I have thus far been able to keep away from any articles spoiling either Marvel’s upcoming Reborn series or Captain America #600, which came out today. I’ll probably get my copy of #600 next week through Marvel subscriptions. If I’m lucky. Can I stay away from spoilers for that long?

In today’s column I discuss Marvel’s mysterious Reborn limited series, how I discovered that DC’s Green Lantern is just one of many similar Lantern Corps named for the colors of the visible light spectrum, and how great it was to see the Night Nurse in Marvel’s current Dark Reign: Elektra series.
