When it comes to panels at comic conventions I think my favorite moderator is Mark Evanier, but coming in a close second is the man who moderated the Our Favorite Villains panel at Wondercon, Mark Waid Now I think there is a possibility that Bleeding Cool may make Waid's list of villains, but I have[...]

Writer Mark Waid said that Strange was "[o]utpowered and out of his element," and now tasked with "[preventing] the World-Eater from destroying the entire magic cosmos!" But now, in DOCTOR STRANGE #13, Galactus has been set loose on other dimensions and devouring those worlds — which could have cosmically dire consequences! It's up to Strange[...]

A lot has happened since Bleeding Cool first broke the news that Comicsgater Richard Meyer was suing comic book writer, editor and publisher Mark Waid, claiming defamation and tortious interference over Antarctic Press no longer publishing Meyer's Jawbreakers graphic novel. Waid launched a GoFundMe campaign to raise money for his legal fight, with a fee set[...]

Cosmic Ghost Rider Makes Thanos the Image of Himself What the Original Justice League Odyssey #1 Would Have Been[...]

That said, I am content just watching the Astonishing Ant-Man and the Unstoppable Wasp teaming up. There is an arbitrary cliffhanger at the end that will likely only be resolved if Mark Waid gets and Ant-Man and the Wasp ongoing out of this Unfortunately, there's been no rumor of that as far as I know. Ant-Man and[...]

Mark Waid tells a compelling Doctor Strange, and there's a good payoff to this issue Stephen must accept things about himself that he doesn't like, and the ending promises some cool changes to Strange's comic coming up Stephen Strange is a very flawed hero, and this comic highlights that in an interesting and kinda gutsy[...]

Ant-Man and the Wasp are caught at separate subatomic frequencies but find a way back home. Or do they? Are they really back on Earth? Is it a good read?

The book is damn gorgeous. Doctor Strange #3 is another strong issue from Mark Waid and Jesus Saiz The story is tight, concludes within the issue, and present Stephen Strange as the compelling and fascinating protagonist he should be The art is gorgeous to boot, sealing the deal on this book earning another recommendation Check it[...]

Israel Silva's color work is similarly wild and varied, though it could use some brightening given the wild narrative tone and characters. Ant-Man and The Wasp #3 is another fun if somewhat thin entry in the Mark Waid miniseries Scott and Nadia get plenty of good moments and lines of dialogue, and the aliens have a[...]

Another week has passed, and that means its time to count down the top and bottom five comics of the past week. Read here to see the score.

Can she help Stephen access magic again? Doctor Strange #2 cover by Jesus Saiz Doctor Strange under Mark Waid and Jesus Saiz is already showing a pacing and expertise which few other comics have matched in the past This chapter in the story—that is Stephen being trapped on this alien world—already reaches a conclusion in this issue[...]

That aside, he, alongside Jordie Bellaire's excellent color work, makes this a visually appealing issue. Captain America #704 is a disappointing finale to this last story arc of Mark Waid's stint on the title Its resolution is both disconcerting and unsatisfying, and Jack Rogers turns from a beleaguered father to someone who is a little too[...]

Ant-Man is trying to cure The Wasp's blindness while a subatomic society believes the duo are attacking them. Is it a good read?

Jordie Bellaire and Irma Kniivila contribute the color art, which is bright, lively, and well balanced too. Captain America #703 is easily the best issue of this story arc and hopefully signals a turning point for the better in Mark Waid's final tale in the series It's fast-paced, Jack Rogers has come into his own as[...]

Aaron and Bachalo's Empirikul story comes to mind, as does Donny Cates and Gabriel Hernandez Walta's "Loki, Sorcerer Supreme" tale, though it was arguably a fallout of the Empirikul story. That said, Mark Waid and Jesus Saiz tell an exceedingly good version of this story, and it approaches the issue in a slightly different manner[...]
