Did I forget to tell you guys something? I think I did…
We have another writer who signed on a while ago, but until recently has been a bit busy which meant he didn’t really have time to write for us. Nevertheless, give a warm welcome to Shawn King!
Shawn works for Evil Squirrel Comics in Chicago and is an all around comic book fan (I mean, how could you not be working at a comic shop?). Keep an eye out for his first review shortly!

I can’t believe I (Mike) forgot to tell everyone!
We’ve got ourselves another very promising writer: Daniel Palacio! Dan is from the San Diego area and has been reading comics since he was 4 and sees no end. His unique end-all-sum-up is a great addition to our staff and I hope you all enjoy his future reviews. All in all, we’re lucky to have him.
Look for his first review of Vixen: Return of the Lion #2, very soon!

Amazing Spider-Man #575 cover
This week wasn’t too huge for me, but I had one comic I was really looking forward to: Amazing Spider-Man #576. Now, I meant to write a review for #575 but… well, it just didn’t happen. Nevertheless, these last two issues were utterly fantastic and I’ll go and sum things up in a moment.
Writer Joe Kelly entered the Spider-Man brain trust last week beginning his two-part series, “Family Ties.” Focusing around Hammerhead and the aftermath of him being saved by Mr. Negative this mini-arc is building more and more of the sub-plot that is Mr. Negative (yea, I know all ASM is doing lately is building, but bear with me).
But let’s get into things after the jump and I’ll give you the run down.

Ladies and gents, we’ve got ourselves a new writer!
Cory Ringdahl hails from the San Francisco Bay Area where he makes the internet work and also records himself on his computer. Being a ‘Marvel Zombie from way back,’ Cory reads a varying array of comics from Marvel with a touch of DC and some independent comics here and there.
With that said, keep a look out for Cory’s first review of Sandman: The Dream Hunters #1 in the next week!

Coming out of no where, this month we’re thrown a very odd comic from Marvel: Adam: Legend Of The Blue Marvel #1. Written by New Warriors scribe Kevin Grevioux, this comic is coming that I personally felt should have been a Marvel MAX title.
Beginning in present time, the Mighty Avengers are getting their asses handed to them by some unnamed and unknown bad guy. He’s screaming and going crazy before he dissolves into the air. We then flash back to 1962 and our story really begins.
Let me divulge (aka spoil) more after the break… this comic was an interesting one.

Amazing Spider-Man Annual #1 cover
In case you didn’t read Brian Reed’s awesome mini-series Secret Invasion: Amazing Spider-Man, you won’t know that it was all about the new and seemingly familiar Jackpot of created in Amazing Spider-Man: Brand New Day. This year (or whatever time is between annuals), the Amazing Spider-Man Annual is focused on the one and only Jackpot and boy oh-effing-boy is it damn crazy.
Why? Because you finally find out who Jackpot is. You do. It’s quite a story… Thanks to good ol’ McGuggs…
BUT, before I give anything away, let’s take a jump and I’ll splurge all sorts of details…

Marvel 1985 #6 cover
Well, Mark Millar has done it again. He’s taken a complete amazing series and stuck with it and made it god-damn incredible. I picked up Marvel 1985 #6 today thinking, “How in the hell is he going to end this series?” Well let me tell you, Mr. Millar pulled a fast one on us.
There’s all this chit-chat, jimmer-jammer on the web these days about how this series was going to end, and I’ve even spat an ending or two out from my own mouth trying to solve this giant mystery and I honestly didn’t see the series going this way.
But before I go into all the details, lets take a jump and get down to it.

To take a page from the posts of Fantastic Fan Girls, I am finishing off my series this month on favorites–though next week I may do something crazy–I want to discuss my favorite ongoing comic book series.
Before I reveal the great mystery that is my favorite, I really have to say this was a toughie. I think what I gauge my choice on is obvious: writing style, ability to keep interest, comedic effect (for me, this is always a plus), and art styling. In this case, it’s a series I’ve been reading since issue #1, and wouldn’t you guess it, it’s not even a Marvel title.
For me, my favorite ongoing series is: Invincible.
**spoilers of Invincible #1-55 will most likely be abound**

Rest #1 cover
Devil’s Due Publishing always impresses me with the extremely out of the ordinary stories they come up with. With no exception to that rule, Rest #1 was released this past week and boy did I enjoy it. I picked up the #0 issue a while back (August maybe) and loved the concept behind the story: What would you do if you didn’t have to sleep?
From the mind Milo Ventimiglia–yes, the Heroes star–to the pages of Rest, this story unfolds into a very interesting half-Matrix-styled story… but what comes next?
I’ll try to figure that out after the break while explaining more of the story.

I forgot to mention…
