MarvelWatch: The first Fear Itself spinoff, The Home Front from Christos Gage and Mike Mayhew;
"In the first issue, we'll see that Speedball has been secretly, in disguise, going back to Stamford regularly as a civilian and getting involved with charity work to try and atone for what he feels is his responsibility for the people that died there. He happens to be there at a time when the affects of Fear Itself start to take hold and that leads to a very charged set of circumstances."
Those circumstances find the hero's identity revealed to the populace of Stamford and their reaction, unsurprisingly, leads to some serious conflict.
DigitalWatch: Tom Stoltzfus takes on the David Brothers' analysis of digital data downloads.
I simply am in awe at that statement and its emptiness and lack of context. How any reasonable person can type that statement and expect to be taken seriously is dumbfounding. We have no idea what the number of units are per item sold given the data available. If item #1 sells 200 units and unit #10 sells 32, that statement falls apart at Flash-like speed. Do I need to repeat what I said about the narrow scope of these charts and the sales they represent? Trying to say that DC and Marvel are much smaller players on a list the precludes the primary sources of purchasing the products they sell is an obvious one. He continues to make broad statements like this in the article, continuously ignoring the statements at the beginning of the article that lay out the limitations of these numbers.
