[CBR News]

Marvel's own dynamic duo of Tom Brevoort and Axel Alonso are back with CBR, giving a look inside what makes for a perennial hit, some "Chaos War" early looks and the prison moves of Norman Osborn.

No Black Widow or Hawkeye & Mockingbird news!

How is Moon Knight going? I kind of checked out of that series a while ago. Specifically, after the Deadpool team-up was immediately followed by a Spider-Man team-up. Is it firing on all cylinders? Anyone got a review?

I'm not sure if the last Shadowland: Moon Knight issue is out yet or not but after that the book will, presumably, be on hiatus until the first Bendis/Maleev issue is released. If you are looking to get into the book it would probably be best to wait until the relaunch.

No Black Widow or Hawkeye & Mockingbird news!

Jim McCann interview, up a coupla days ago. Pretty much covers it.

Alonso actually said that he'd but Ultimates up against anything ever published with a superhero in it? Riiiight. That series is not in any way shape or form on the same level as Watchmen, Dark Knight Return's, Lee/Kirby FF, Claremont/Byrne X-Men, Miracleman, etc. Come now, guys.

What a crappy Cup O' Joe.

I wish they could get through a paragraph without the forced comedic banter and the more blatant aggrandizing of some of their current content. Stan Lee these guys ain't. They really need to clone that guy and make his clone write Stan's Soapbox's forever.

I'd prefer it if Ralph Macchio was doing this. I respect his talent, knowledge and personality, not to mention his longevity in the business.

I think Axel and Tom both have a lot of talent. And Tom Brevoort must be close in terms of editing longevity. I think they just have toruble balancing info and overspoiling upcoming stories.

Still a little unclear on the .1 stuff. Is it all brand new stuff or is it the same issue plus extra content? Or something else?

By the way Lee/Kirby's FF and Lee/Ditko's Spidey have been in continual print since the 60s.
First they'd get reprinted in reprint titles like Marvel Tales, then in the early 80s there were special editions that reprinted classics (Steranko's Fury and Cap, Ditko's Dr Strange, FF Annual #1, Starlin's Warlock and Captain Marvel, etc), in 1987 Marvel Masterworks started. Many Wolfman/Colan Tomb of Dracula were reprinted in the 90s. etc
But Tom and Axel didn't think of these first two as their perennial classics.

So, am I the only one completely baffeled by the counting for Deadpool? Even if you only count the series titled "Deadpool" it's 103 issues. Counting every book released with "Deadpool" in it's title gives 203. Only counting ongoing series titles "Deadpool" gives 98 (but that doesn't count special issues of those series, and Deadpool Corps would shoot that up to 106). KryptonSite (any relation to the web site?) doesn't seem to know what they're talking about... Hope Alonso doesn't listen. If Deadpool does get an anniversary issue, I hope it's legit (should only take three months to reach 300 anyhow...).

And yet again they find a chance to not mention Alpha Flight. They constantly push the titles that don't need advertising and avoid talking about the ones that need it.

Ugh, man. Been waiting on this Moon Knight series and it gets Bendis - whose dialogue completely takes me out of his stories. But, I feel like I'm going to buy issue #1 anyways. @#$% me.

Anyway, anyone familiar with Breevoort's editing jobs?

Shadowland: Moon Knight really pales in comparison to the first arc of Vengeance of Moon Knight. Well, everything after the first arc is pretty much mediocre, although I did like the Secret Avengers team-up issue. Admittedly, I was slightly wary about Bendis writing Moon Knight, but after that last arc there's nothing Bendis can do to make it any worse. There are some good things about the arc, it pretty much answers whether or not Khonshu is real. I wonder if that will be retconned during the new run, but I hope not. You can only go back and fourth for so long before it gets stale.
