    Donny Cates is a fantastic writer. Read Venom and Cosmic Ghost Rider, both by him.

    Is that Phyla-Vell? Is she alive again? Why is she a blue kree now?

    Going by the last issue of Infinity Wars it's Phyla-Vell and Moondragon from an alternate reality. They both have only been back since Infinity Wars so no idea if there is a reason why she is blue now.

    Thoughts on the final Issue of More Than Meets the Eye Lost Light:
    Spoiler: show

    Overall it has been a great series with some great development for Transformers characters. IDW has produced the best take on Megatron ever, and that was largely due to his role in this series. That said, the final reveal felt a bit too 'have your cake and eat it' for me.

    Also, I was really hoping Optimus and Megatron would get a chance to meet again during the events of Unicron, but this ending seems to imply that's not going to happen..

    Cosmic Ghost Rider was way better then I expected. His origin story in Thanos was also pretty great.

    I don't know if "weird and fun" was the tone they were looking for when they started Infinity Wars but that is what it's giving me.

    I would guess they were since they have Gerry Duggan writing it. Weird and fun is usually his thing.

    So comics had already gone to print by Monday last week, which means that this week is going to be a lot of tributes and I'm not sure I'm ready.

    I've been collecting comics for almost 4 years. I've made quite a bit of money buying and flipping and over the years I have had very big comics come through my hands. Wanted to share with you comic lovers some of the comics I sent to get graded over the weekend. Have plenty more but some that I just love in my collection.

    ASM129 - 1st Punisher
    ASM9 - 1st Electro
    DD1 - 1st Daredevil
    ASM300 - 1st Venom (Personal Collection)

    Todd Macfarlane Spider-Man covers are still amazing.

    Great books! And the condition on them looks good too.

    IDW's Transformers series is over I think, and I have mixed feelings..

    Spoiler: show
    Without a doubt, some of the best Transformers stories and writing ever. For me, the highlight across the whole story has got to be Megatron. This was, hands down, the best take on Megatron across any medium. On the other side though, they didn't do a great job with Optimus, which is disappointing given he's my favorite.. The best Optimus in this series was several years back starting when Megatron upgraded himself and the conversation between him and Prime when Megatron was finally captured and taken back to Cybertron.

    As good as it was early on though, the worst thing to happen was definitely Hasbro's push for a shared universe with all their comic properties. Also, the final few arcs felt way too rushed. Did not like this take on Unicron and I'm still upset Megatron and Prime never got to meet again in the end.

    went back and read Alan Moore's run on Swamp Thing. never thought a southern gothic eco-horror fable would near move me to tears by telling the tale of a dying woman accepting her mortality by coming to understand death is a transition of state and not an ending and that an icicle need not fear the sun but here we are. Moore has some very fucking strange ideas but he really is a fantastic writer in any medium, not sure any author who works primarily in comics is his equal.

    That "who works primarily in comics" is I assume a qualifier to remove Neil Gaiman from contention. However I would still rank Grant Morrison in Moore's echelon.

    don't think I've ever read Morrison, what would you recommend as a starting point?

    Both his starting point and his magnum opus for DC, being his run on Animal Man (1988-1990) and All-Star Superman (2008), respectively. Superman 3D is another exceptional story of his but All-Star stands on its own whereas 3D requires a great deal of outside reading to appreciate fully.

    There's also his Vertigo work, The Invisibles and We3.
    We3 is self contained and short, and it's pretty highly praised.

    Comixology Unlimited now has a DC Comics trades as part of the service. I did a quick look and there is a lot of newer stuff as well as the well known classics.
