I first encountered the name Steve White when I was a teenager.

But they'd also let retailers sell all the DC titles out that week at that time as well. We wondered how the likes of Marvel would respond Well, they appear to have called DC Comics' bluff.

Yesterday Bleeding Cool ran a story about what we thought may be an editorial error in today's Spider-Women: Alpha, along the lines of an caption note in a previous issue of Web Warrior. Yes, that one. The Marvel Universe being referred to as Earth 616, a designation abandoned by Marvel Comics after the Secret Wars series, with executives[...]
