Emperor Palpatine Does His Own PSAs (STAR WARS SPOILERS)
From today's Star Wars Annual #1, Emperor Palpatine addresses the citizens of the Empire, personally, on camera… I'm going to say that he must have fired his PR managers, because he really doesn't have the face for forty foot high public address systems. Still, I don't suppose anyone is going to tell him He is the Emperor[...]

So… Are We Getting A Superior Spider-Man #31 After All?
Probably not. It also seems to collect a Superior Spider-Man Annual #2 Which is odd, because there's an Annual #1 being published in January, and to be collected in the previous collection, The Superior Venom. Could we be getting that Annual in April as well? Nah, mixing my Annuals up As usual Thanks Tom. But with Amazing Spider-Man 2[...]
