As you may be able to tell, my formal training is not as a writer. My degrees are in physics and education. In my day job, I work in supplemental education, which is why my productivity is lowest when report card season hits.

Wizardworld Dallas and Marvel’s 2005 plans

Newsarama
is currently running an article with a summary of
events from the Marvel forum at Wizardworld Dallas.
In regards to series reviewed here, New
Avengers will last at least 18 issues,
Fantastic Four will get a new creative team
early in 2005, Daredevil will get a new
creative team after 2005, and a new Ultimate Iron
Man title will launch. They have news for other
Marvel projects there, too, so comic readers should
definitely follow that link.

Weekly Comics Discussion

This
week finds us with Astonishing X-Men ,
Avengers #503, Exiles #54,
Ultimate Fantastic Four #12, and
Ultimate Spider-Man #68. Two of those
issues finish story arcs (AXM6 and UFF12), so reviews
are in the not-so-distant future. If you check the
current review
schedule, you’ll find a listing of all of the
planned reviews. For the next few weeks, I’ll be
reviewing comic books just in time for the TPB to hit
the market.
