There are four series — three, in the grand scheme of things, recent series — that may not have been greenlit today, that represent, to me, the importance of long-running indie comics. Morning Glories #50 cover Credit: Image Comics. Morning Glories Long before he became a Marvel mainstay known for The Amazing Spider-Man and a controversial run on Captain America, Nick[...]

If there's one thing readers can count on from superstar writer Nick Spencer (because it sure isn't plot development in Morning Glories), it's subtle political commentary So it's no surprise that an upcoming issue of Captain America: Sam Wilson #17 will focus on conservative news media trying to get the All-New Falcon deported for being[...]

Everyone agrees on that.   And Morning Glories goes for it Yes, that's pretty much as far as you can go Until you hire Garth Ennis or Si Spurrier as swearing consultants. While this scene from Lobo will appeal to those whose sexual innuendo is based in Britain in the mid seventies Which I basically picked up on[...]

Morning Glories artist Joe Eisma makes the offer…. Morning Glories fans—you, yes YOU, can be a part of the book.  After 40+ issues, it's getting to be an issue coming up with looks for the various students, guards, and other background characters throughout the book.  This is where you come in. As I have mentioned on my various[...]

But there was one comic that I absolutely could not quit, no matter how hard I tried: Nick Spencer and Joe Eisma's Morning Glories. I love the intrigue, the dynamic, and the sheer sense of dread imposed within the pages of Morning Glories, and while I didn't have a comic shop to claim I still had a comic that I needed to[...]

I know… Morning Glories, can you help?   There we go Everything is better with cake. And Robocop 2014 remembers his catchphrase just in time for the new series. Six Million Dollar Man crosses the panel divide It's a neat little trick when done well And this does it well. Vampirella is subject to a rather nasty love bite there[...]

You know, I don;t think any such aggression could reduce Loki's appeal somehow… The Joyners 3D does a good expression of the facial expression I pull when trying to read 3D images with the stigmatism I have in my eyes. Morning Glories turns into, well, Burn The Orphanage, it seems Shoryuken! Alex + Ada gives us a guide[...]

Morning Glories goes through the practicality of that. Yes, yes it did, Danger Girl #3. In Revival, it looks like the John Constantine is catching on Dye your hair fellow, or you'll look like Keanu Reeves And not in a good way Is there a good way? Another World Without Superman, in today's Superman… and it's not the[...]

If you don't know what that is, go and google goat.se with the Safe Filter off… Morning Glories brings us the fire in this beautiful green/orange contrast, that stems from the colour of the hair But what kind of message is she sending? Or, courtesy of Dredd Classics #5, could it be a response? Share your thoughts about[...]

But "bitch looks like it may be word of the week" In Morning Glories, it looks like Nick Spencer's characters are learning from those Marvel NYCC teasers by pre-announcing what they are going to do Let me guess… "We Need To Talk", that means a new Black Bolt series by Spencer and Eisma? Yes, all the children[...]

Peter Panzerfaust can cope with many things but please don;t let it join the cannibal ranks… What they need in Morning Glories is a Dream Thief Say, can you delve into my dreams and find what my favourite band was when I was nine? Oh dear Don't worry, I discovered The Jam shortly afterwards. Comics courtesy of Orbital[...]

Something, light, upbeat, feel good and… Okay, maybe Morning Glories wasn't the best way to start Well then, something else… Aah! Uncanny Avengers, do you really have to? I can't take any more… Wolverine And The X-Men, you too? Can people please stop ripping off their faces, give me something else to watch, please! I deserved that[...]

Too much, comics is stuck on the ink line, digital colouring is helping to remove that necessity. Morning Glories#26 is still all shooty and cursey, underneath those multiple covers… As is the crazy Gothamesque world of Bedlam from the same writer and publisher I need something to refresh the palate.   "Kicked Your Ass"? Like "Kick Ass"? Like "Hit[...]

Because how can that be sexist, eh? It's Morning Glories Something bad is always about to happen. Mars Attacks Moby Dick Looks like it's sushi for Martian lunch today. Great pull-back-and-reveal in Godzilla Rulers of the Earth #1… but what happened to little lizard? Or "Gozuki" as I know have to call him? It's not much of a choice,[...]

Joseph Kyle Schmidt talked to Joe Eisma. No stranger to scrutiny, Joe Eisma can withstand the pressures of penciling a book like Morning Glories Even then, a guy's liable can get nervous from time to time. "Every issue has some kind of, at least one major shocking scene," Joe says.  "I wonder how people are going to[...]

I was bursting with questions and theories after reading Morning Glories #26 and took to the internet I found a link to the tinychat on Spencer's twitter and before I knew it, I was in a chatroom with like minded fans and Spencer himself For the most part, the writer stays silent in the tinychat,[...]

[audio:http://www.orbitalcomics.com/podpress_trac/web/8393/0/orbital-podcast110.mp3] Orbital Comics of London presents: Welcome to Episode 110 of The Orbiting Pod! This week, we go back to school with Morning Glories #26, say cowabunga with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #21, travel far with A Distant Soil #39, act the goat with Rachel Rising #16, hang high with Arrow #6, and ask questions with The[...]

Morning Glories #26 was printed with a odd page Not the kind of thing you wouldn't expect to see in the title, which does kinda go all over the place But in this case, It wasn't intentional, so retailers have been asked to destroy copies, to be replaced by the corrected version. If you did buy[...]

I'm so glad we got Manhattan Projects. Morning Glories does the hideous trick of applying a child's logic to the Bible Which is just the kind of thing it was never meant to stand up to Hardly cricket. Lots of child's logic in Todd The Ugliest Kid On Earth as well as some entertaining reworkings of the[...]

Oh, you think you were cried out before, It seems that there are far more tears to come. Morning Glories #21 goes through the motions of those early days at the school, and the repetitive discoveries of certain pupils, and plays with it, taking scenes we'd seen with some cast members, and sees how they play[...]

The art however is lush and pretty enough to carry you through.     Morning Glories #19 runs through time and space, chasing a man who has spent his life racing to catch up Isn't it fitting that his saviours are just in time? As the world starts to change, Wee Hughie in The Boys finds himself in a[...]

Just up the road from Manchester… Morning Glories tells a discussion A long one Including panels like this But if you think it will all be over in a flash, just to remind you that it is 34 pages long for $2.99 One of my favourite ongoing comics right now. Last month's The Twelve showed us that[...]

I can proudly say that we've never under-served our markets on hot new titles like Morning Glories, Prophet, or media cross-over hits, like most recently, Adventure Time. I'm also proud to say that our clientele is very diverse, with fans of all ages, genders, and interests filling our stores.   MOVERS & SHAKERS What are the hot items in[...]

For those of you who bought your copy of Morning Glories HC Vol 1, out today, the remedy will be simple For those who used Amazon, you may be in for a wee wait. The volume in question contains a page with no lettering As a result, retailers are asked to withdraw the book from sale,[...]

Morning Glories' Joe Eisma's work has been compared to Jamie McKelvie There certainly are similarities, the clean thin lines, the open space for colour, the expressionistic faces and the elegant panel design. And today we get both Morning Glories #8 from Image and Generation Hope #5 from Marvel, the latter reteaming the holy Phonogram pairing of[...]

Image scored with a number of eclectic titles from Chew to Morning Glories to Skullkickers to 27, with Walking Dead benefitting greatly from the TV series Scott Pilgrim took over the book charts with all six volumes as the movie hit And then there is Twilight Manga – and the continual success of the likes[...]

You know those smaller, weirder titles from Image Comics that retailers don't order enough of and before you know it are suddenly on the retailer's back
