comics are and should be fun for you. Others have blamed trade-waiters for sealing the fate of quality monthly comics, such as legendary writer and amateur accountant Peter David, who wrote in 2014 on the cancellation of X-Factor: All I did was write a book that got tons of positive write-ups Which I guess is enough to[...]

The comics sometimes adapt the previous films featuring the characters ahead of the new movie, and sometimes create brand-new stories which are treated as canon by the MCU. For the upcoming Black Widow movie, there seem to be changes afoot. And it will be Peter David, of Incredible Hulk, Spider-Man 2099 and Scarlet Spider who will be[...]

Scarlet Spider is sent off to deal with the demons on the Vegas strip while Wong and his Midnight Sons fights its way to Mephisto's Hotel Inferno. Is it a good read?

Dynamite has sent us a writer's commentary from Peter David talking about Battlestar Galactica vs Battlestar Galactica #3 It comes with covers by Adam "Mojo" Lebowitz and Johnny Desjardins (who also does the interiors) Page 1—I figured it would be hilarious if the original Starbuck pulled the classic scam of sitting in on a poker[...]

That man is Peter David, writer of Marvel's Spectacular Spider-Man, who wrote Jamie for years as part of X-Factor.

That seems like a questionable decision for a comic that's being slapped with the Marvel Legacy label, but at the same time, I get why Peter David may not want to warp his comic to fit the schedule of a corporate initiative. Peter David and Will Sliney teamed up for Spider-Man 2099, too, and Ben Reilly: The[...]

While reading Peter David and Will Sliney's Spider-Man 2099 recently, I found myself wondering something Could there ever be another "Gwen Stacy" moment in modern superhero comics? The collection of Spider-Man 2099 called "Smack to the Future," which takes at the beginning of the All-New, All-Different Marvel reboot, has a scene wherein this Spider-Man's girlfriend, a[...]

This issue focuses primarily on Kaine and treats its nominal protagonist as an elusive figure whom Kaine is trying to track down. That's an interesting tactic for writer Peter David For all intents and purposes, this is a comic about Kaine as opposed to Ben Reilly. That being said, very little happens in this comic[...]

The Rocketeer: High Flying Adventures collection is a beautiful book filled with stunning art and compelling stories for all ages!

Peter David famously said of X-Factor when it was canceled: All I did was write a book that got tons of positive write-ups Which I guess is enough to encourage people to buy it when it comes out in trades, oblivious to the fact that books get cancelled when you do that Whatever.

When Marvel confirmed Bleeding Cool's report that Peter David and Mark Bagley would be launching a new Scarlet Spider series starring Ben Reilly, there was just one problem: that costume!
