I hate it when they waste pages in a trade. Image especially likes to have a solid black page, or one that is mostly black with a logo on it as filler between issue breaks. Why not throw and alternative cover on there? Or a letter page? Or pics of the original art? Something that's not a complete waste.

The one gimmick cover I thought was interesting, from an artistic point of view, was Raw #7 Well, many RAW covers were "gimmick"--the first had a tipped-on color plate, another had die-cut holes. This one was not only made up of torn images, but the upper corner was torn off and the piece (not necessarily from that specific copy) was taped inside. Issues also included mini-comics inside (including the original chapters of MAUS), trading cards (and bubble gum), a flexi disc, etc. I happened on the first two issues in a used bookstore in Florida, and glad I did, and was able to get all the large issues at cover price.

John Romita Sr. was the best cover artist Marvel ever had. There I said it.

John Romita Jr. was the best cover artist Marvel ever had. There I said it. Then why show a cover by John Romita Sr., pray tell? Cei-U! I summon the confusion!

Oops. I'm gonna blame the fact that I don't have the tech you have on the typo. Corrected.

A character is only what the artists do with it, as Alan Moore or Brandon Graham have eloquantly demonstrated (Supreme anyone?). Yet even through the hands and minds of some talented people, I've yet to find a story about Wolverine keeping me occasionally interested in anything but its art. It almost feels that as the fans have decided he is cool, the writers don't even need to "try" anymore... You know I think you nailed it right on the head. Come to think of it I think I feel this way about the X-Men as a whole. All My favorite stories were because of the art. Neal Adams, John Byrne, Dave Cockrum, and even JRJR's run.

Namor is no longer dead.
But that's okay, like him as I do, I didn't mourn for one second. Superhero deaths don't have any impact anymore.
There! I said it.
