Welcome to Marvel A to Z, the project wherein I read through Marvel Unlimited in alphabetical order through creator. Last post, I covered Daniel Acuña, an artist who primarily does covers but has also done interior work at Marvel; today, I cover Arthur “Art” Adams, who primarily does covers but has also done interior work at Marvel. … More Marvel A-Z: Adams (Art)
Welcome to Marvel A-Z, the project I have chosen for myself where I read through the entirety of Marvel Unlimited in alphabetical order by creator. At the end of my previous post, I mentioned that I would be taking some time to read through Daniel Acuña’s work. As I mentioned at the start of the … More Marvel A-Z: Acuña
Welcome to Marvel A-Z, a project wherein I read from Marvel Unlimited alphabetically by creator, and comment on what I find. Last time, I finished a very extensive look at Dan Abnett, so it’s nice this time to look at a few smaller bodies of work. Today, we’re looking at three creators, going from Paul … More Marvel A-Z: Abrams to Acker
Welcome to Marvel A-Z, the project where I read through Marvel Unlimited alphabetically by creator. This is the third post on Dan Abnett, long-time collaborator with Andy Lanning. Together, they were the architects of a lengthy run of Cosmic Marvel stories, playing a part in the revitalization of those properties that gave us the modern … More Marvel A-Z: Abnett the Third
To quickly recap, last time on Marvel A-Z, we started on the Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning pairing, going through some of their miniseries and runs before starting on their lengthy bout with the Marvel Cosmic properties. Annihilation: Conquest saw a Phalanx invasion that gave us the modern Guardians of the Galaxy, and War of … More Marvel A-Z: Abnett continued
Welcome to the third installment of Marvel A-Z, the project/hobby/punishment I’ve inflicted on myself where I read through the Marvel Unlimited collection alphabetically by author. Previously, we ran through the many many many comics of Jason Aaron, and today, we’ll look at Abell and Abnett. There will even be some pictures involved. After 321 comics … More Marvel A-Z: Abell and Abnett
Before we start on the actual comics, I’d like dwell on just how long Aaron’s been working for Marvel, and how many comics he’s written. He started writing Wolverine in 2007, and started a Ghost Rider run in 2008—that’s twelve years of comics, including his current Thor run which started six years ago. (Has anyone had a longer … More Marvel A-Z: Jason Aaron
It’s been a long time since my last post–and it’s not particularly as if they were coming in frequent a year ago either. Most of that is a commentary on the life of an adjunct. Teaching multiple classes doesn’t really leave a lot of time or energy for blogging. I think another part though is … More Marvel A-Z: The Project
I’ve gone back to play through some of my Steam backlog, and I’m doing it alphabetically, with one game for each letter of the alphabet. Unfortunately, I had to take a break four hours into my A game (Amnesia: The Dark Descent), so rather than start it over, I started, late December, to play Baldur’s Gate, … More Five Thoughts on Baldur’s Gate
Events have conspired to prevent more frequent blogging; in tandem with my usual blogging reticence, I had over a hundred students, three courses, and no teaching assistant last semester, which will put a damper on non-work related activity. Let’s dip a toe back in, with a quick examination of the Vulture from Marvel Puzzle Quest, … More Dabble in Design: Marvel Puzzle Quest’s Vulture and Narrative Condensing
