Yes, I only did Marvel this month because I ran out of time. Hopefully next month I’ll be able to better schedule the posts. Thanks for the suggestion. I’ll keep it in mind, although I’m not sure how it will work with the other structures I have for the site. I’ll have to experiment. Thanks for reading and suggesting!

Hello. Could you create a “Category: Coming Up” to file your Previews reviews articles?

Currently, I have to search your site each month for a string like “due October 2010″ at http://comicsworthreading.com/index.php?s=%22due+October+2010%22 in order to locate the many posts you often have on the topic (though apparently you skipped DC/Indies/Manga this month and only did Marvel).

A dedicated category for these posts would allow us to have a permanent bookmark like http://comicsworthreading.com/category/coming-up/ for direct access to these posts each month. (Also, I don’t think the current “Category: Superhero Reviews” is appropriate or useful to file that content.)

Perhaps. But based on Google, that portion of the art got a surprising amount of attention, so even routine treatment may be misinterpreted. (Or a company now owned by Disney may be backing away from that kind of scrutiny.) As I said, I’m curious to see how much of the full cover makes it to print.

The colour bar in Marvel Previews appears on every single page, so as long as ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN #115 was given a full-page solicitation on the right-hand page, the gay couple were always going to get cropped. Actually, they seem to have cropped the other side of the image as well – I’m not sure whether the dimensions of the original art would have filled the page, given that Ultimate books have a whopping opaque logo at the top of the cover, so perhaps they just had to zoom in to make it fill the page. At any rate, this seems to be nothing more than routine cropping of the art.

I like Samnee’s art and I’ve heard good things about Langridge’s writing. I even like the storyline and the confrontation with Captain Britain.

Unfortunately what turns me off is that it is a young Thor. I guess I like my Thor just a little older, more at the height of his powers.

As an Aussie science fiction writer I’ve been a Marvel Thor fan since the original Journey into Mystery of August 1962.

If you get a chance check out some of my Marvel (mainly Thor) fan fiction. Just scroll down below my author profile and you will see over 40 fan fiction stories here:
