But that's not a bad start is it? 26,000 preorders for a new comics magazine without a Todd McFarlane cover?

I've never known Nick Barrucci of Dynamite Entertainment to miss a commercial opportunity he can hang his hat on. Now that the Dark Shadows movie is out,

I have mocked the Avengers Vs X-Men crossover for portraying a seemingly impossible and contradictory series of events in a variety of comics that, for anyone trying to read the whole thing, doesn't make a great deal of sense.
