(when it comes to supreme power, daniel way > jms. his nighthawk is like batman after waking up on the wrong side of the bed.)

from marvel’s spider-man: reign, words and pictures by kaare andrews

(spider-man: reign is much maligned, but i really, really enjoyed it. andrews “gets” spidey and the spider-marriage in a way that a lot of people don’t. it isn’t perfect, and its flaws are obvious, but overall? i like it. look for a piece on it later this week.
also i don’t want to write comics, but let me find out marvel wants somebody to pitch for hypno hustler. i’m on it.)

art from marvel’s new avengers: civil war. words by bendis!, art by leinil yu


(the trade isn’t 100% cage. it’s made up of one-shot issues featuring a specific avengers in the setting of civil war. it’s easily the highlight of the crossover, and the only part of CW that i still own.)

from marvel’s black panther: little green men. words by reggie hudlin, art by cafu

(it isn’t daily, but it is weekly. a different moment every monday morning at nine PST for the foreseeable future, an amazon link so you can read it, and minimal commentary from me. just a little something to brighten up your monday mornings, and i’ll never suggest a scene or series that i don’t genuinely enjoy. if you’ve got requests, be it for a character or a specific scene, you know the e-mail.)
