Well, I might look it up ('cause you've steered me oh-so-right before, CaBil), but, to tell the truth, I don't find Superman that interesting. Throw in Chuck Austen and I'm a bit scared.
Right, there comes a point where you have to either move on, or just buy yourself a Klingon costume and go with it.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
is that Bendis is trying to pick up the next Great Leap Forward in comics that Alan Moore started in the 1980s, but has a tendency to get sidetracked into subpar storylines
He has a penchant for anticlimax.

I'm only on collection #4, Hayden, so 'splain.
Ooh, Supergroup? FG-3? That one's pretty cool. Anarchy is fun, too.

Just try that one issue then hayden. You can enjoy it without knowing anything else in that miniseries, and it reopens one perceptions about certain aspects to the Supes character.

Sounds good. I think I end up saying this every month or so, but here goes: thanks for the tip, CaBil!

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Dude, Bendis is great! I love the storylines in Powers. Looking forward the the new #1. (Deena is back, y'all!) I've been reading Alias lately and am really liking that as well. The art isn't that great IMO, though. I love Oeming's stuff. That what is so awesome about Powers - the art and the writing are terrific.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I do not know. But now I need to find out.
I have read about zero Captain America, but he's hysterical in Secret War. Moreso because of filtering it through Nick Fury's POV. I she always so crabby?

I just peeked around, and I'm not sure the other Marvel people have numbers yet, or that if they did they'd be comparable -- the X-issue is the first of a new set of Official Handbooks.
Pfft.
Oh, and here:
Kitty's speed is the speed of a normal human -- that's not under debate.
That's meant to be a question -- also, for calibration, 2 is normal human.

I may have to seize the cat.
Also, she and Kitty have a contentious history. I think she basically kidnapped her at one time, and forced her to join the Hellions, back when Emma wasn't a good guy.
Then there was the whole "Who's school will Kitty go to?" issue, and I don't think Emma ever forgave her for picking Xavier's.
Yeah, I'm mostly Marvel as well, with Vertigo and Image exceptions.
Oh yeah. DUH. Image. How could I forget Image? And America's Best & sometimes Top Cow. Only very rarely on those 2.
...so at used stores today I found both Dark Knight Returns and Dark Knight Strikes again. Oh and Catwoman: Her Sister's Keeper. But I didn't buy any of them, because I didn't like the condition they were in.
...off to email resume and read Y - the Last Man.
