The Origin of Spider Woman (limited series)
Powers (his creator owned title)
Daredevil (but not for to much longer)

and those are it for right now. I believe. He also wrote Ultimate FF and Ultimate X-men at one point.

Cheers Sam. Thats alot of titles right there.

word. Obviously I'm a big fan of ultimate, and I'll be sad to see the Pulse go. And I do dig New Avengers (except for Sentry). But as far as monthly books, it's really only Ultimate spider man, the rest are sporadically released, at best...

It was good, the comic keeps getting better!

What If? Featuring Thor

Gotta say, I really like this one too. Oeming's art is simple, very similar to Mignola and the artist from the JL cartoon. Lot of drama packed in the few pages that were there....

Panther is REALLY a great book these days!


I passed on new Avengers 14......thinking of dropping the title all together!

Thanks, Aarrgghh!!! I agree. Everyone should at least pick up this "Best of" book. Don't know how the new series will turn out but am really looking forward to Darwin Cooke's Batman/Spirit series. Based on his work on The New Frontier I'm extremely hopeful. The guy seems to know, respect and tap into his comics roots both in his writing and especially his art. I think he'll do us all proud on this one.

I like Jeph Loeb's work for the most part, but his Supes/Bat work has been almost completely incomprehensible. I have been buying the series mostly because of the artists (I skipped Turner's run, no thanks).

Between McGuinness and Pacheco, it has been a blast, even if each new storyline seems to begin in the middle with no explanation or exposition and things are just left hanging at the end. The Legion (?) story arc made absolutely no sense to me, but looked damn sweet! Same goes for the Maximums arc.

Hey, Crom! I did a review of the Loeb/Pacheco Legion story arc after it ended. I couldn't follow it at all until the very last issue when it all came together for me with a big thumb's up crash. It draws heavily on Moore's "Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow?" story. If you reread that you'll see both the Legion connection and it will explain the very last page. Also, I thought the way Loeb connected the Waid/Ross Kingdom Come Superman to Moore's "Man of Tomorrow" Superman was absolutely brilliant.
