A Dave in the Life: Peter or Miles? Who Wins Spider-Man 2?

November 25, 2023 by Dave Leave a Comment

Every week in the Comic Book Herald newsletter, I write a column called “A Dave in the Life,” where I explore the issues or news in comics. Now, you can also find these columns published here on CBH. To get the full newsletter alongside reading recommendations and the My Marvelous Year reading schedule, subscribe (for free!) here.

After 2015’s Secret Wars ended Marvel’s Ultimate Universe, there were 4 characters from outside Earth-616 (aka Marvel Prime, the comics universe we’ve known since 1961) that got the call up to the big leagues: The Maker (“evil” Reed Richards), Jimmy Hudson (lol), Old Man Logan (not an Ultimate Universe creation), and Miles Morales (Spider-Man). While Miles is unquestionably the biggest of the four, he’s also the character Marvel Comics has struggled with the most. [Read more…] about A Dave in the Life: Peter or Miles?

A Dave in the Life: Fancasting the 2024 X-Men Comics Relaunch

November 18, 2023 by Dave 3 Comments

Every week in the Comic Book Herald newsletter, I write a column called “A Dave in the Life,” where I explore the issues or news in comics. Now, you can also find these columns published here on CBH. To get the full newsletter alongside reading recommendations and the My Marvelous Year reading schedule, subscribe (for free!) here.

We know X-Men is relaunching in 2024, we know new editor Tom Breevort is assembling his team of writers and artists, and we know that current creators like Kieron Gillen and Al Ewing almost certainly won’t be returning. 

With that in mind, and because people keep asking me, here’s what I’d like to see from a reconfigured X-line. Up front, I’ll note that I want to see a line that values scarcity (I’d like no more than 5 titles – this will not last, but I’d like it), and pulls a variety of creators to both make a splash and build for the future. In cases where I know a creator has an exclusive contract with the Dread Competitor (Tom King, Ram V, Dan Mora), I’ve left them out of the running. I’m willing to cast unlikely scenarios, but not “hell freezes over” scenarios like Alan Moore writing an X-Statix relaunch (tell me you wouldn’t read that). Nonetheless, these are godfather offers, and I’m not overly worried about what’s “realistic.” Let’s go! [Read more…] about A Dave in the Life: Fancasting the 2024 X-Men Comics Relaunch
