Ditko at VALIANT and DEFIANT – Part 2

…intellectual progressive, maybe? Whatever. Don’t make too much of that assessment. I don’t mean to label the guy. The point is that his position was miles away from Steve’s. Which is not to label Steve a conservative or anything else. I wouldn’t attempt to categorize Steve’s point of view. I…

ULTIMATE COMICS – All-New Spider-Man #2

…the street. If you read last issue, you know it’s Miles, the “grade-schooler” referred to in the introduction. If not, it, well…some kid is running. He makes an impossible leap over an obstacle. When people react to that, he turns invisible and slips away. He’s upset, apparently worried about the very things we’ve just…

The $10 Million Comic Book

…of the Caribbean or EC’s New Trend Piracy. That label doesn’t do One Piece justice.
