@compsolut is this your first time reading criminal?

compsolut

@mwhitt80 yes it is. I started with comics when the New 52 launched, and have slowly branched to books other than superhero based. So I am slowly working my way through Brubaker's body of non-hero work (loving every stinkin' minute of it, I might add)

mwhitt80

I love Criminal; it's such a great book.
You might want to try Sleeper by Brubaker/Phillips. It's set in the old image/dc imprint Wildstorm (jim lee's Image studio that he sold to DC).

compsolut

Yeah, I am on a Brubaker kick, I am up to date on Fade Out, Velvet, and have gotten through the first two trades of Fatale. So much good writing.

I finished up the Spider-Verse. Slott did a GREAT job of planting seeds for it over the last year or two (lot of Superior Spider-Man stuff) and the tie ins were well done and mattered. And THREE comics have spun (ha!) out of it. I'm shocked at how popular Spider-Gwen is, and I'm hoping that they do something interesting with the character.

And I love Silk. LOVE Silk. They could do some very cool stuff with her re-introduction to society, and she would be a cool companion for Spider-Man.

On top of that it was just a good story, if a bit to cosmic for what I like in my Spider-Man.

fredzilla

Good to hear! I've been reading all of ASM and SM 2099 for the series. But I also ended up ordering the collected edition in this month's DCBS order. IT has been a lot of fun.

Let's get this back on the front page for the last week of Feb...bump!
