Man, New Avengers. It’s been forever. This one’s a one-off, and as you can see, another Bendis & Maleev joint. Also, it doesn’t have Spider-Man in it, so I’m lumping the post…

Fallen Son & CAP 26
Captain America is dead. This has a big impact on a lot of people, and Spider-Man is one of them. Today, quick looks at comics about Cap’s death featuring our beleaguered hero….
ASM 545
Strap in, this will likely be the longest post in the history of this blog. I think the previous record holder was probably Spider-Man #75. This cover doesn’t match the others because…

SSM 38
Last month went by with no issue of SSM on the stands. It’s epidemic. I suppose an Eddie Brock appearance during the Black Suit Sales Event at your local Ford dealer isn’t…
