Welcome to the end of another busy week in comics! Every time I thought I had finally covered everything this week, something new popped up, which meant more writing for me but more interesting tidbits to read for you. With that in mind, let’s get this show on the road.
Monthly Marvel Muster – The More Things Change
Welcome back to Monthly Marvel Muster. I’m back once again with all the exciting, and not-so-exciting, news Marvel Comics has to offer. This month we have more new series debuts, some welcome surprises, some baffling decisions, and some exciting announcements.
Monthly Marvel Muster – Everything Old is New Again
Hello, and welcome back to Monthly Marvel Muster. It’s been a while, and rather a lot has happened since my last post in February. There’s too much to go into in any detail, but I’ll try to hit the high notes.
Monthly Marvel Muster: Ring Out the Dead Year
Hello, I’m back with a backward-looking edition of Monthly Marvel Muster. This month I have a look at how Marvel chose to close out 2017, as well as a note about some of what to expect in 2018. It continues to be a slow turnover period for Marvel’s ongoing series right now. December brought one…
Monthly Marvel Muster: Building A Legacy
Welcome once again to Monthly Marvel Muster… or bi-monthly Marvel Muster, as the case may be. My November was a trash fire, but I’m back now with two months of Marvel news and reviews all at once [Thank goodness! —Ed.]. A lot happened in the last two months. Marvel Legacy is now in full swing,…

To Be Or Not To Be “Respectable”: Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur
For the first time in several months, I decided to pick up a copy of Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur #15, despite my reservations regarding the ongoing series. (See the following excerpt from an open letter I sent to Marvel on 22 August 2016.)
Civil War II: Many Losers but Princess Sparklefists Wins
Civil War II had a lot of promise in its premise: that there’s another issue important enough to the superhero community that they would take sides and fight over it. In this case, it’s the Terrigen cloud released by the Inhumans on Earth, which turned one regular kid into an Inhuman with a power that…

https://twitter.com/rgay/status/794017810808705024 Kate here, back again! I sometimes try to come up with interesting ways to start this news round up, but this week I saw that tweet and I just knew that nothing else was going to win Best Comics Tweet this week, and in this, the final week of the US Presidential Election, we…

Hello again! Kate here to catch you up with the news you might have missed from last week. The top story last week was, of course, Wonder Woman’s 75th anniversary. There were a number of exciting things that happened, including Wonder Woman being named a United Nations Goodwill Ambassador. That’s a real thing!! And DC Comics…
