The Avengers Doomsday approach apparently speed running Marvel Comics longheld fascination with "Back to Basics" got me thinking how historically this approach almost never resonates long term. Exceptions would be early 2000s Astonishing X-Men and Waid/Wieringo Fantastic Four.
Reasons I like Caleb Williams as Iceman 1) Cold 2) Underrated 3) So much potential 4) There's a weird obsession on Insta with Caleb being closeted and Bendis will probably have Jean Grey out him sometime around the Super Bowl but good for him that's my QB1
I see The Beat is getting hammered for running w/ Mike Deodato's denial that he used AI significantly in a recent comics project My main takeaway is empathy for an un/barely paid writer badly prepared to call B.S. on a professional artist. I've been there. You're not expecting the need to Woodward.

I haven't read a comic in a week Relatedly, when I close my eyes, I see Silksong
Man, this is a great list and really emphasizes what a great year this has been for comics, despite the many, MANY ways the world is finding ways to destroy us. And selfishly, YAY RED SHIRTS. But also, man, so of many of my friends are on here with richly deserved kudos.

Seth T. Hahne@sethhahne.bsky.social · 9mo agoYeah! I included them in an off-the-cuff list of comics that are literary and warrant serious discussion/thought from lovers of whatever we might count as literary. Stuff you could confidently bring to your Serious Book Readers bookclub.
