Delayed Hatred

It has been an interesting week for comics and genre pop culture, where many books of generally good quality came out, and despite the wealth of good sci-fi, horror and alternate universe comics, combined with the idea that Joseph Gordon-Levitt might appear in the Justice League move as Batman and that the writer of The Empire Strikes Back might be writing a new Star Wars movie… all anyone can seem to talk about is Dan Slott and how he’s cackling while he’s fingerblasting the almost 700-issue history of Spider-Man, despite having never given Peter Parker six arms nor cloning him once.

But, for good or ill, The Amazing Spider-Man #699 doesn’t come out for another week. But regardless of the anticipation and the hatred and the whinging, it is still Wednesday, and that means that this…

…means the end of our broadcast day.

But new Spider-Man or no, it’s still an interesting-looking week, what with the first issue of the new Matt Fraction / Mike Allred FF #1, plus a new Ed Brubaker / Sean Phillips Fatale, and the best of the Before Watchmen books: Amanda Conner’s and Darwyn Cooke’s Silk Spectre, and one of Brian Michael Bendis’s last (if not his very last) Avengers books!

But, as usual, before we can talk about any of them, we need time to read them. So until that time…

…see you tomorrow, suckers!
