Morning Glories
Long before he became a Marvel mainstay known for The Amazing Spider-Man and a[...]
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[...]

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[...]

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[...]

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[...]

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,[...]

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[...]
