Previously On #113: Jonathan Hickman’s Never Won an Eisner. Is That Right?

July 17, 2020 by Dave 1 Comment

Following the announcement of the 2020 Eisner award nominees, Zack Quaintance of Comics Bookcase reached out about his “Extra Eisners” project where comics critics can submit nominees for snubs, overlooked works, or comics contributions worthy of Eisner recognition. It’s a fun idea, and while my initial response was to write 8 million words about the criminal snubbing of House of X / Powers of X, I ultimately decided I’ve written enough on the matter to make it sufficiently clear I’m kinda into Jonathan Hickman’s era of X-Men. Plus, it’s not like the revival of X-Men lacked for press in 2019.

So, naturally I selected Fearscape as my pick worthy of a “Best Limited Series” nomination, and moved on. But then curiosity got the matter of me, and I proceeded to research how many Eisners Hickman has won previously, only to discover that he has – in fact – won not a single Eisner award!

When Supervillains Go Good (20 Heroic Character Transformations!)

A hero is only as good as their villains, but what happens when a villain becomes a hero? Superhero comics live and die on the strength of their bad guys – characters whose darkness can thrill readers in ways their morally upright heroes can’t. But sometimes, the popularity and longevity of a villain inevitably lead to their heroic turn. Is it permanent? Is it a fakeout? And can any character designed to be evil ever permanently be a force for good?

Let’s take a deep dive into the history of supervillains turning good, sometimes for good and sometimes not, character by character in chronological order.

Who will be a force for good? Who will inevitably betray our heroes? And how many times will Venom change his mind about being a bad guy? Let’s find out. [Read more…] about When Supervillains Go Good (20 Heroic Character Transformations!)
