Discussing the minutiae of comic book collecting.
52 weeks. 52 different writers. 2 trade paperbacks or hardcovers a week.
Each week I’ll take a look at a different writer and read two different collected editions from within that person’s repertoire to help in the examination of their work. Let’s get started with our writer for week 1, Mark Millar.

You need words here or something? Just watch it. …. go on… I think this is the first time that I’ll like the movie better than the comic. (…and it stars Nick Cage.. what are the odds?)
