[rwp-review-recap id="0"] After looking through the comments and past the people who took umbrage with the fact that I admitted my favorite comic books series wasn't perfect, I got the feeling that many in the comments wanted me to talk about Fabian Nicieza, Kurt Busiek, and Tom Grummett's New Thunderbolts series from 2004. That's fine, because, when[...]

DC has finally set a release date for Batman: Creature of the Night by Kurt Busiek and John Paul Leon, a comic which was in the works as far back as 2010. Despite the title, the comic isn't about Batman becoming a member of KISS The book is billed as a thematic sequel to Superman: Secret Identity[...]

And what better place to start than the beginning, when the Thunderbolts were created by industry veterans, Kurt Busiek and Mark Bagley. First appearing in Incredible Hulk #449, the Thunderbolts were a mysterious new team of heroes appearing in the shadow of the apparent deaths of the Avengers and the Fantastic Four at the hands of[...]

His short-lived series is easily among the best runs on the Thunderbolts, and this is a series that has had talents such as Warren Ellis, Rick Remender, Fabian Nicieza, and of course, Kurt Busiek. A lot has been said about Jon Malin's artwork Many have called it Rob Liefeld-esque I can't say that's a bad assessment, and[...]

Last night, comics veteran Kurt Busiek entered a number of Twitter exchanges with followers over the characters of Superman and Batman The idea was pretty straightforward: he wanted a relationship between Big Blue and the Caped Crusader that showed camaraderie and fun When someone asked if he was suggesting that Superman and Batman do something[...]

This book includes 24 stories of heroic antics from creative geniuses like Kurt Busiek, Darwyn Cooke, Dave Gibbons, Marc Guggenheim, Walter Simonson, and more.

Back in the beginning of June I had the pleasure of sitting next to Kurt Busiek while attending the Phoenix Comic Con I hadn't met him previously, but really enjoyed talking with him over the weekend He turned me on to his Image comic series The Autumnlands that he's doing with artist Benjamin Dewey and[...]

Let's try again. Kurt Busiek is a veteran comic book writer who took to Twitter yesterday to share his thoughts on the controversy with Abrams Books, the publisher of Bad Little Children's Books: Hey @ABRAMSbooks – not all parody is satire, any more than criticism is censorship. — Kurt Busiek Resists (@KurtBusiek) December 3, 2016 If I rework THE LITTLE PRINCE[...]

I went into the show down $62 in licenses so I could be there for four days. I sat next to Kurt Busiek, who brought no books with him because he didn't have the tax licenses The number of times he had to explain that to someone at his table asking to buy a copy of[...]

Which meant I finally had an outlet for all my curiosity about the franchise. The highlight of the Busiek/ Pérez run is probably considered to be the Ultron arc*, where Ultron murders an entire country and then kidnaps his convoluted extended family to copy their personalities into robots…basically, it's the Avengers against an army of Ultrons[...]

I know that sounds corny, but Kurt Busiek knows fantasy and wrote a compelling anthropomorphic sorcery world, with a great champion that may be very relatable Benjamin Dewey's art would make this worth reading even if it wasn't written by a master of the craft Birthright #2 by Joshua Williamson was even better than #1,[...]
