I did download Black Panther #1, because it's Eve Ewing... I like where he's going with it. Also, the artist does a great job. To me it feels a bit like Barry Windsor Smith in a way. I dig it I picked up Black Panther too but I'm definitely out of the loop; why is T'chala not king anymore? No clue. Looks like he's not into it anymore. www.cbr.com/black-panther-wakanda-king-never/

This one hurts a lot. Like Slam mention, we knew its going to come eventually but not now. Not when we need our legends to continue. I met Jazzy John a few times; the first being SDCC in 1995. He was sitting with at table holding court in front of fans. Telling stories, giving out free art advice and signed whatever was in front of him. I approached him and his smile was infectious. "How are you? Enjoying the show?" he says to me. I reply back this was my first SDCC and was excited to meet him. Sadly I didn't prepare in bringing any books to him, but found a ASM 62 with Medusa on the cover. He signed it and I peppered him with questions. He smile and answered them all. He put out his hand to shake; with a strong grip he shook my hand and I left
Throughout the years, working with the Hero Initiative, whenever he came into LA or San Diego, it was priority to say hello to him. He was a giant in a field of giants. He will, to me, be the definitive Spider-Man artist. His impact his huge and his legacy will go on.
The greatest.

This really was one of the toughest and most fun cover contests. Seriously, I'd like cast my vote to everyone. All awesome covers. But if I have to pick.... Rags

I don't read/collect a whole bunch but what I'm enjoying in 2023:
DC- - World's Finest. Proof that Waid is DC's best writer, year in and year out. It's so much fun. - Shazam. Two issues in and Waid brings back Ordway-era with a modern take on the Captain. Also Dan Mora brilliant - Scooby Doo/Batman Adventures. Best Bat title on the market. - Danger Street. While I find a majority of King's work to be utter drek, his non-Batman Black Label series are really good. - Human Target. See Danger Street
Marvel- - She Hulk. I still enjoy it. Feels of a Slott/Bryne hybrid take on Jen. While the Jack of Hearts storyline is meandering but its a fun lighthearted book. Punisher. Jason Aaron and Jesus Saiz created a super violent but poignant take on Frank Castle. Beautifully drawn and a super dark tale. - The Wasp. Al Ewing is Marvel's most consistent writer. His take on the Wasp legacy was fun, like his Ant-Man mini last year. Always look forward to what he brings.
Image/Others - Love & Rockets. Naturally I'd put this on here. It's the greatest comic book of all time. Los Bros Hernandez can't do no wrong. - Hey Kids! Comics!. Howard Chaykin's history of comics is a must read and own. It's brilliant satire, filled with tons of true stories and antidotes. Only the names have been changed to protect the innocent. - Too Dead to Die. A fun one-shot by Guggenheim and Chaykin. Retired spy goes back into action. Hilarious and action packed. Optioned to be a film - Painkiller Jane. Jimmy Palmiott's Kickstarters are a must for me. I've known Jimmy for over 20 years and is one of the nicest people in comics. His books are always top quality; talent is top notch on them. And they are stories I want to read. A little more risque than the mainstream but they're worth it.
