Huh. The Powers that comes out tomorrow is a super-gigantic anniversary issue.

Why are they burning them off, two to a Saturday?
I don't know.
FYI, all. The SERENITY that's out this week is just a re-print of the first issue. At least, that's all I saw at Newbury Comics, and they were being put out while I was there.
The new Astounishing is out as scheduled, though.
And now I'm going to be looking angrily at my Fables.
I'm with ita. That post almost makes me want to stop reading Fables. I mean, technically I've stopped reading everything since I don't have a comic book store, but when I do...grr. I probably won't, because I still love it, but I won't ever be quite so quick to defend the man himself ever again.
I'm seriously considering dropping Ult. X-Men. The recent storylines haven't been grabbing me and I didn't care for the Annual at all. Plus, Ultimate! Juggernaut looks like a complete and utter dufus. At least they brought the original artist back for the Annual so I could at least tell the characters apart.
I enjoyed Astonishing, but the ending felt kind of anti-climactic. Emma is working for the Hellfire Club ? How 1980s.
Devin Grayson interview: [link]
Just in one year of reading a single Batman title, for example, you could find yourself starting with a reasonably universe-integrated story line created by and playing to the strengths of a seasoned comic writer for three months, then find that the book has been swept into a much larger crossover story “event” with new writers rotating through. And then four months later, the book is under the control of a really exciting movie/TV/fiction best seller “auteur” who creates tremendous buzz and kind of reinvents everything from scratch with total carte blanche from the editors, but the year finishes out under a new editor and a “stable” writer who work together to try to pull it back into the continuity of the previous year, which is the last time either of them had any idea what was going on.
Devin's not happy about Frank Miller.
