Is it me, or has Wolverine been hanging around too much with Psylocke of late? Is that a Malcolm Tucker quote he's partially using in today's All New

Not the one we knew, however. Superior Spider-Man has been a story about a bad man, Otto Octavius, trying to be a good man Often not from exactly the purest of motives, it's more a pragmatic heroism, hampered with Casper The Friendly Ghost Spider-Man and a memory dump of the whole great power/great responsibility equation. And in[...]

On Boxing Day, I wrote; Superior Spider-Man #1 looks to be, in many ways, a tale of redemption Someone trying to change and be a better man Knowing what he knows now, experiencing what he has now experienced, will he choose to decline what is being offered to him? We had to wait a little longer[...]

Superior Spider-Man #2 topped Diamond's Advance Reorder charts last week and it's done it again this week with issue 3, putting on in one week more than the entire order of the second print of Superior Spider-Man #2 (which can only be ordered through advance reorders).

We reported that Amazing Spider-Man #700 has sold a quarter of a million, bringing in a total of two million dollars (plus all the 1:150 Steve Ditko variants selling north of a thousand dollars each). Well, with the second print, I understand Marvel has sold another fifty thousand, pushing it over three hundred thousand and bringing[...]

I'm not going to spoil the ending, but I do think most of the haters of Amazing #700 would actually like this issue! It's fun to see Doc Ock Peter with a douche bluetooth in[...]

Second prints and cover variants are often only ordered this way, which makes them overrepresented. Increased orders of Superior Spider-Man #2 dominate the advance reorder charts – could all that fuss have helped sales?

Ryan Stegman, artist on Superior Spider-Man #1 will be sketching and signing at Legacy Comics of Laredo, Texas on January 9th, the release date of the comic. How did such a small store get such a big name from out of state for a signing of such a prominent comic? Nepotism? Coercion? Bribery? Yes, the last one[...]

So Amazing Spider-Man #698 is selling from between $5 and $13 on eBay... but where did it all begin? Could it be a certain scene in Amazing Spider-Man

I have been spoiled on Amazing Spider-Man #698-Superior Spider-Man #1.  It happens.

And second because I want[...]
