It can be rough out there trying to break into the comic industry. It is all about knowing people, doing good work and in the long run spending lots of money. That last part is the tough one because of the economics of the system. Paying for convention tables, paying to print work, paying for hotels, paying for travel, paying for food and even paying for other people’s work because you need to stay up to date on comics – it can suck.

The Avengers Return to TV
(Originally this was supposed to run a while ago)
Airing this Sunday at 11 will be the one-hour premiere of Disney’s new Avengers television program Marvel’s Avengers Assemble. The look and lineup of the series will be very familiar to those who have read the Avengers Assemble ongoing series. Both the look of the series and cartoon are to capitalize off the popularity of the hit Avengers film from last year with the lineup consisting of the six members of the film with the addition of the Falcon.

You Didn’t Make Me Happy
Happy #1 Cover Art By Darrick Robertson
Happy could have been amazing. Teaming up a cartoonish sprite with a hardboiled killer can be good comics. Having a symbol of innocence floating around a hardened kill in a brutally dark setting – I’d like to see it done well and I say I’d like to see it done because in Happy, the series becomes so heavily mired with black despair and grime that it never recovers and ultimately reads like someone’s poorly conceived Sin City spinoff.

Ultimate Spider-man Season 1
I think most people came towards Ultimate Spider-man with chips on their shoulders. I did. I mean, it was the enemy series! The sham king! The forced new series! The beginning of the end! And honestly it is far from perfect, far from the spectacular series that came before (and that was cut off before its time). It was branded the Family Guy Spider-man! People said it ruined their faith in Paul Dini. It is used in a Godwin’s Law fashion amongst cartoon and comic viewers – but it doesn’t deserve all of the hate.
