Those of you who have been following us for a while now know that I am a fan of Rich Johnston’s Bleeding Cool blog just like I was a fan of his Lying in the Gutters columns on CBR which preceded it. When Elliott went to the San Diego convention this summer I asked him to pick me up a Bleeding Cool t-shirt if he happened to run into Mr. Johnston. Well, Elliott did one better and actually interviewed Rich for his “Geek to Me” video channel and afterword was able to snag me a shirt.
During last week’s CCW TV segments I can be seen wearing that same t-shirt and Rich Johnston was very kind in giving us a plug in his blog postings today because of that fact. If any of you have yet to check out Bleeding Cool please do so. Not only does it have great reviews and interesting articles but also is home to the best rumor’s in the industry.

It’s Saturday and that means it’s time for you guys and gals to tell us what your favorite book of the week was and why. Though I did read quite a few things this week I am going to have to go with Invincible #68 as being the best of the best. Brave and the Bold #29 was great too.

Two weeks ago I asked all of you your opinion on who was the best comic publisher this year. An overwhelming majority of you choose DC over Marvel. Then last week I asked if Blackest Night was living up to the hype and again the vast majority said that it has. Which now brings us to this week.
We have been focusing a lot on DC here lately so it’s time to talk some Marvel. Marvel Comics has fallen out of favor with many comic fans, myself included, over the last year or so for a variety of reasons. I am going to try to put together a post of what I perceive to be Marvel’s strengths and weaknesses and how Marvel could win me back over. That’s where you all come in.
This week’s 2 part question:
What do you think are Marvel’s greatest strengths and weaknesses?
What would Marvel need to do to beat DC as the CCW Nation’s Publisher of the Year next year?
I would like to take you answers and suggestions and incorporate them into my post which will go up sometime in the near future. I am really quite interested in what you guys have to say on this subject.
J.
