The Encyclopedia of Golden Age Superheroes by Jess Nevins. In The Encyclopedia of Fantastic Victoriana I wrote about Victorian genre fiction, and in The Encyclopedia of Pulp Heroes I wrote about the heroes of global pulp fiction. That leaves one last area for me to write about: the superheroes of comics' Golden Age, 1935 to 1949.
Writers like Mike Benton and Jeff Rovin described some of these heroes, and I enjoyed their descriptions. But I always knew that there were more heroes than these writers described--a lot more--and I've finally decided to write about them myself. As is my way, I decided not to limit myself to just the major characters, but to research every hero of the Golden Age. Yes, all of them. There is a fabulous variety of heroes in the hundreds of comic books which appeared in the Golden Age, floating eyeballs and centaurs and robot brains and super rabbits. The end result will be 2000+ entries like this: Captain Future. Because I don't own all the comics of the Golden Age. Characterlist.

When it comes to his Avengers scripts of recent years, Brian Michael Bendis never disappoints. His work is always terrible. It's that very lack of quality which has made me such a fanatical follower of his work on the various Avengers titles.
Where else can the reader enjoy the certainty of such imperial levels of authorial indolence when it comes to characterisation and plotting, which other books can ever match the idle mix of wilful first-draft/last-draft sloppiness paired with a lordly contempt for common sense? Bendis's Avengers books are so utterly, inexcusably wretched that they're an absolute joy to experience. No matter how hard the reader works to imagine the depth of incompetence that'll mark the next issue, no-one can ever anticipate the endlessly dull-minded ways in which Bendis manages to cheat his readers while undermining what's left of his reputation with everyone beyond the Rump. "Everyone's been worried about you.
Arcanum | Thrillbent. Spider-Man Turns 50: Why the Moody Teenage Webslinger Still Matters - David Brothers. Peter Parker transformed comics because he was the first great everyman superhero. Steve Ditko / Marvel Amazing Spider-Man #1 hit shelves 50 years ago, on March 10, 1963. Since then, Spider-Man has spawned four—soon to be five—big-budget movies, nine TV shows, a stage play, a radio drama partially masterminded by Brian Mays of Queen, a few dozen video games, and, of course, thousands of comic books and toys. He's a major figure, and he deserves to be: Spider-Man redefined our idea of a hero by making superheroes a lot more relatable than they were before. To understand how revolutionary Spider-Man was, it helps to understand the most important hero who came before him: Superman. Action Comics #1 / DC In 1962, Steve Ditko and Stan Lee created Peter Parker, better known as Spider-Man. Both Superman and Spider-Man are heroes, but the differences between them are profound.
Both characters have tragedy as part of their origin. The shift in approach there should not be ignored. The Abandoned An’ Forsaked – So Who Was the Hobgoblin Anyways? By Brian Cronin| March 16, 2013 @ 11:44 PM |56 Comments| Every week, we will be examining comic book stories and ideas that were not only abandoned, but also had the stories/plots specifically “overturned” by a later writer (as if they were a legal precedent).
Click here for an archive of all the previous editions of The Abandoned An’ Forsaked. Feel free to e-mail me at bcronin@comicbookresources.com if you have any suggestions for future editions of this feature. Today, inspired by this week’s Comic Book Legends Revealed (where Peter David had the reveal of Goblin 2099 changed on him) we take a look at the back and forth history of who the Hobgoblin really was… The mysterious Hobgoblin was introduced in Amazing Spider-Man #238, with writer Roger Stern keeping his identity a mystery from the readers. First, he shows how it couldn’t be Ned… And in #3, he has the Hobgoblin explain how he used Ned and how all the evidence was faked… That’s it for this week!
“You are now entering Astro City” – Prepping for the return of Kurt Busiek and Brent Anderson’s masterpiece | Sci-Fi, Movies, Comics and Quiche from a Pop Disciple. DC has made some odd choices as far as new content. Whether they’re regularly canceling series before they hit 10 issues, starting up poorly thought out series solely to tie into upcoming events or constantly changing creative teams, the company feels like it’s stagnating. But all that feels like it could change with last week’s announcement of the return of Kurt Busiek, Brent Anderson and Alex Ross’ exceptional comic book homage, Astro City. I’ve long put Astro City in the very top of my favorite comics with Chris Claremont’s X-Men, Jamie Delano’s Hellblazer, Alan Moore’s Saga of the Swamp Thing and David Mack’s Kabuki.
It’s a series obsessed with the passing of time, the way the years change us, harden us, ease our burdens and physically wear on a city. With a rich, totally independent history of characters, battles, teams, rivalries and betrayals that span hundreds of years, Astro City is dense but that focus on detail makes the experience much richer. 1-2. 3-4. 5. 6. 7. 8.
