So Cammi I gotta ask how come your not reviewing Secret Warriors?

[CammysComicCorner]

Well it would have made my Fast Five last week, but I felt there wasn't enough meat in the first issue. Sure we get that big cliffhanger at the end and those beautiful maps by Hickman, but I was expecting more "UMPH" in that first issue.

Second issue maybe?

[fanboydee]

okay cool. i agree, millar does some great work, and mj geting a gun seemed like a great and totally natural thing for the frequent-damsel-in-distress to go and do; i thought peter parker's reaction was off-key though, he should have had real problems with it...uncle ben died being shot after all, i figure he'd have some ethical problems with it and have an 'it's me or the gun' ultimatum instead of shrugging and accepting it!

he'll probably have *a* spidey in ult avengers, like he did in mcw ;)

I know about Millar's prior run, but I'm saying I'd like to see another one done. I loved it when MJ got a gun, it made her look real Badass!

[fanboydee]

mark millar already did a spidey story, dodsons and cho on art chores. it was a marvel knights 12 issue maxiseries, and it was pretty decent. cliff notes: aunt may got kidnapped, mj got a gun, vulture acts like a hero

[RADMANRB]

thats what i thought of when i read it. cause theres no way that any of that is "real" even the meeting with all the villans and companyin crime ally. it dosent make any logical sence in batmans current continuity. so yes hes most likley in the omega santion or this 2 parter is completly out of continuity.

[blugoblin01]

I did check out the Ms.Marvel Annual, and you're right, Spidey's humor is just awesome. I couldn't quit laughing when Spidey kept pestering Ms.Marvel about her feet, and the way he kept being such a smart ass about the SHRA.

I thought Dini's run on Detective Comics was phenomenal, and I just wish he could keep going with it. I too felt like I was watching TAS again.

One more question, if you could pick an EIC for Marvel, who would you like to see? I'd go with Mr. Bendis. Joe Q. sucks!!

[CammysComicCorner]

You know, that does make a helluva lot more sense now that you mention it.

[RADMANRB]

i think it takes place with bruce in the omega santion. which makes perfect sence.

[CammysComicCorner]

Paul Dini for a year would be simply awesome. His little one-and-done's he was doing for Detective were like a more mature Batman: TAS each month. I would definitely choose him. I'd also nominate Jason Aaron for writer of Batman. I think he'd have a few cool tales in mind.

As for Spider-Man, I think Brian Reed would be a killer choice. Check-out the Ms. Marvel Annual he did, and you'll see he just nails Spidey's humor. Reed and Mark Waid.
