Kibbles ‘n’ Bits 8/22/18: “My real name is Loan. And I am just getting started.”

§ Nice Art: Paul Mounts posted a variant cover by Art Adams for Avengers Asssemble! Issue 700 that he colored, which is a nice tribute to Barry Windsor-Smith’s Avengers #100 cover. This Bronze Age look is strong style. § Heckuva day, huh? Last year when I took my oldest kid to London we went to […]

Even as America learns all about Thanos, Marvel Comics has alienated the man who created him

Even as America learns all about Thanos, Marvel Comics has alienated the man who created him

  If half of the US movie going audience saw Avengers: Infinity War last night, and the rest will surely see it over the weekend, and (no spoilers) by Monday morning Thanos and Infinity Gauntlet will be household names, just like “Jon Snow” and “Sauron” before them. Infinity War is heavily based on The Infinity […]

Starlin’s Infinity Gauntlet series (which he wrote and Geore Perez drew) is not only the inspiration for Avengers Infinity War, […]

Kibbles ‘n’ Bits 12/18/17: C.B. Cebulski issues a new statement

§ Nice art: Dark Horse will release a full collection of Evan Dorkin’s Milk and Cheese comics in May. This is what the 90s were all about, people. Sometimes dairy is a dish best served spoiled. Over the years, Milk and Cheese has proven to be a comic book of idiotic genius from the devilish mind of […]
