    The Spider-Women Alpha code is invalid 🙁

    “seriously, Marvel? $4.99 for twenty-two story pages? Fuck you.”

    LOL. so true. ludicrous price-gouging. it’s ridiculous there are house ads in the thing too.

    & yes, Providence and Crossed are a pretty incredible late-in-life resurgence (& sort of ignored)

    I actually didn’t realize there were only 22 story pages in Black Panther until you pointed it out; I went back and counted because it felt longer. This is just one hell of a week for comics if WicDiv’s return can only make third place. I won’t argue with Providence winning, though. (It will be a few days before I get WW Year One, but enormously looking forward to it.)

      Looking at Black Panther #1 in comixology it’s 31 pages long, however pages 26-31 are text behind the scenes & process material (As well as the cover, recap & credits page taking up another 3 pages) for £2.99 so yeah WTF Marvel.

        Given Marvel’s shenanigans with padding out issues of Miracleman with the exact same story except in black and white to get to $4.99, throwing in a few pages of process material to up the price is unfortunately not a surprise. If they wanted to pad it out some more, they could have reprinted Christopher Priest’s first issue to show where this version of the Panther really had his origins.

    I recommend giving The Fix a try, if you didn’t. Best creator-owned thing I’ve seen Spencer do. And loads of pages in the first issue for the price, too.

    I’ve been looking forward to Morrison’s Wonder Woman. I’m intrigued to see if he runs with the concept of heroic female comic book myth figure and makes it a Morrisonian Promethea or swerves the Moore comparison danger and takes it somewhere else.

    I thought Spider-Woman came off as kind of an asshole, actually, especially when Silk (ugh) was asking about seeing her alternate dimension family. Glad to see Providence getting so much love from you and in the comments. I’ve heard a lot of grousing about the “dreamlands” aspect of the issue over in the comments at Facts…Providence issue 8 annotations. Good to know I’m not the only one who loved it.
