This week's strip @ Comiccritics.com

Invicible Iron Man #19 Preview + Iron Man 2 "behind the scenes" interview

First off, you should check this Invicible Iron Man 6 page preview over at CBR. That's issue #19 which seems to be the final issue of the "World's Most Wanted" story arc by Matt Fraction. I've heard a lot of god things about his work on Invicible Iron Man so you ought to check this out.

Next is a pretty nice video of a Canal+ interview with Jon Favreau and Robert Downey Jr. It shows the new Iron Man 2 set and talk a bit about the story and the work they've been doing. Very interesting. The "reporter" speaks french at the beginning but don't be scared, it's only for the first minute or so.

How good is Local?

I have been following Megan’s adventures for a few days now. I’ve been reading the book occasionally and am about 5 or 6 issues in right now, so it’s about half way through the whole run.

It’s a kind of “slice of life” book that takes us around the U.S. together with the main character. Each issue takes place in a different place, which I thought was a nice concept and has Megan has the main character, who appears to be a bit of a “funky” person as she somehow manages to always meet some weird people along the way and get herself in uncomfortable situations.

The whole book reads a bit like Demo, a previous Wood story, as each new issue has no link with the previous ones besides Megan. The art is really nice, and as mentioned in a previous post, the book itself is pretty awesome thanks to its oversized heavy-weight pages (almost Bristol-like) and the way the 12 issues are bond all together. It’s a thick thick hardcover book that reminds me of those old school bibles.

So while I’ve been enjoying discovering Megan and following her around in her trips and all, I can’t stop thinking of one thing… “Why?” I mean, so far she’s been going to different places in every issue but we still do not know the reason behind… I mean, in the first issue It was kind of obvious, but then why? I hope I get to find that out as I read on.

Statcounter features

I took a look at my statcounter over the week-end. I had not had time to look at it closely since I created my account, but there is one fun feature that allows users to know where people who access their blog reside.

Out of all the visitors I’ve had (not too many, up to know it’s around 50) some were from U.S., U.K., Russia, Brazil, Quebec, another one somewhere in Africa (forgot which country exactly) and some more… It’s funny but I had never thought it’d be seen by such a diverse group of people… I wish I had started using statcounter earlier, it’s fun to check those kind of statistics.

So anyway, just wanted to say hi to everyone, I hope you're enjoying what you're finding here!

Comiccritics.com and Iron Man

Funny strips from Comiccritics.com... I've been wanting to feature those here for a while, and those last ones about Iron Man are pretty fun so I thought I'd start with those. I invite you to visit Comiccritics.com to read more of their work, it can be really funny at times!

Steve Ditko: Spider-Man's Forgotten Father

I've just come across an interesting article about Steve Ditko over at examiner.com. I'm pretty sure most of you know who Steve Ditko is, but it's still an interesting piece worth reading even you're familiar with the guy. Click to read it.
