Sometimes a "loss" isn't a bad book; it's a book that made glaring mistakes that prevented the comic from being genuinely good. Marvel Two-in-One #5 cover by Nick Bradshaw and Morry Hollowell Win: Marvel Two-in-One #5 is Downright Amazing Chip Zdarsky, Valerio Schiti, and Frank Martin continue to kill it on this half-FF-now-sorta-full-FF title by bringing together two broken Fantastic Four[...]

Both halves of the team have watched the other half die, and this makes for some pain and stress between the members of this ad-hoc family of heroes. It's an emotionally dense installment, and it triumphs through Chip Zdarsky's ability to keep that in balance Plus, the threat of a Galactic Doom brings an immensely dangerous[...]

It lines up directly with their own struggles, and Chip Zdarsky sticks the landing rather perfectly.

That wacky Chip Zdarsky is up to his zany antics yet again! While most comic book creators are decidedly against receiving death threats on social media, Zdarsky is encouraging them with his take on a popular Twitter game that asks users to type "I was born" and let predictive text on their phones complete their[...]

The reboots weren't bad, but other than Chip Zdarsky's run on Jughead, I wasn't enthralled by them Here's hoping Archie can keep up the momentum with their current lineup!

In another reveal from Marvel about their upcoming Legacy initiative, we see Peter Parker, Spectacular Spider-Man will see the hero behind bars!

Peter Parker: The Spectacular Spider-Man #1 is an easily recommendable book — it feels like a back-to-basics Spider-Man story.

From the DC Rebirth onwards, culminating in November's Doomsday Clock, Superman will meet Dr Manhattan. Dr Manhattan, created by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons for the creator-owned comic Watchmen, that all of a sudden wasn't creator-owned when it started making serious money for DC Comics, spent much of his time naked, blue penis swinging in the breeze. Sorry, I[...]

In a new variant cover for Peter Parker: The Spectacular Spider-Man #1, on which he serves as the writer, Chip Zdarsky will teach readers how to draw the web-slinging hero in six-easy steps…if only he can just get it right. In typical Zdarsky fashion, humour wins through as he satirises what is perhaps the most frustrating[...]

Not because it's left hanging; despite what is apparently not the original plans of the creative team, they manage to wrap up pretty much every thread in this series in a nice bow in this issue, giving the series a fitting end, with the few remaining seemingly to be cleared up in an annual later[...]

The final cover is again Star-Lord stood before a starry night, but this time a more realistic representation of the night sky. Consider one of the major themes of this now complete run by Anka, Chip Zdarsky and Matt Wilson: growth – in particular, the growth of Peter Quill as a person. In the first issue cover,[...]

[rwp-review-recap id="0"] Cover by Kris Anka It's kinda interesting that I wound up getting to this review this weekend after everything that's been going on with Marvel's comments coming out of their Retailer Summit, and also a discussion earlier in the week on how rotating artists has the effect of diminishing the importance of an artist in[...]

Of course, much of the #AceAroJugheadorBust controversy is stemming from the comics, as Chip Zdarsky is leaving and Mark Waid comes in, and fears that Jughead's sexuality will be changed there…which would be an example of hiding or removing the characters sexuality as that would be the same continuity. The TV show…isn't[...]

One things leads to another and the Sabrina Burger asks Jughead to hang out. Chip Zdarsky, Ryan North and Derek Charm are a winning team They capture the spirit of Jughead in a fresh new way What I sincerely love about the new Jughead is how passionate he is about food, and how awkward he[...]

Perhaps ask Matt Fraction and Chip Zdarsky what the plan is for Sex Criminals, because they are taking their sweet ass time getting it to us, but they don't half deliver hard.
