Merry Christmas

This is just a Quick look of what Comics I would recommend coming into the New Year. As well as a quick review of the only Christmas Comic I read this year.

Comics to grab, Animal Man and Swamp Thing. Duh. Batman, especially if they stop with the Family Cross overs and just let their be a story in that book for once. Daredevil and Hawkeye if you are into Marvel.

Amazing!

If you can't tell by the poorly photoshoped sign below, It's time to reveal why Panel by Panel has been vacant the past few weeks. Going on January 1st to the 5th we will be going through all five of the final issues of Amazing Spider-Man, including Avenging Spider-Man 15.1 and Amazing 699.1. I do hope you are ready for an ending of a lifetime.

As a New Year begins, we shall look to an End.

If Death Be the Food of Rot, Fight On

First off, I'd like to thank friend of the site Kristine Chester for the Shakespeare pun for this title, since my knowledge of the Bard is limited. (For the record, I thought of a really cool one to end this series on, then looked at the list she sent and it's on there...so...I feel less cool now) But this is the third week, not counting the prequel before the issue zeros, how are things going? Will our heroes prevail? Is Frankenstein still shit? We will see. As always, Spoilers ahead, so if you don't wish to know, please turn back.

Quick check on Rotworld. In Animal Man, the Red Kingdom, Buddy Baker found allies with Steel, Black Orchid, Beast Boy and John Constantine. They encountered Felix Faust who was working for Anton, and taunted Buddy about his "Little Wing" in their capture. The troupe went off and where ambushed by Gorilla Grodd. Oh, and in the past the Bakers (And Buddy's mother-in-law) are taken over by the rot, leaving Maxine to run off where she encounters William Arcane.

Vacancy!

General apologies for the lack of updates and podcast, and all that. We here and Panel by Panel are working hard on a special even for the new year, which is taking up a majority of our time. But be well knowing that a Rotworld special is coming down soon, and even another Amazing Reads before the end of the year.

So have a happy holiday season. Christmas Season...Whatever season. I'm not going on a war against anything.

Amazing Reads: Amazing Spider-Man 678

Welcome, to the future! That's right gentle folks, in special consideration of the upcoming end of Amazing Spider-Man I'm upping the time table this week with day of the future passed. Yes I made an X-Men joke, I don't care. Early this year was a one off (two issues) little story of Peter seeing the future destruction of New York, and thus spending the day trying to stop it, not knowing how. It's a fun short story.

I also chose it so the "Welcome, to the future" opening had context outside of a bad joke.

 

How did they get out this paper...how...
