Chris Claremont Donates His Archives To Columbia. X-Cellent Move. (LOL PUN.)
Chris Claremont more than likely penned your favorite issue of Uncanny X-Men. Unless your favorite issue is one from the Grant Morrison mind-boggling wunder-run. The good sir crafted most of the tales we’ve come to acknowledge as essential X-reading, and now he’s donating his archives to Columbia.

It Takes 11 Artists To Finish ‘Hulk #2’. Dedication, or Sadness?
Oh, Marvel. The Jason Aaron/Marc Silvestri ultimate team-up to relaunch Hulk lasted all of…one issue. I know that Silvestri was hospitalized this week for an infection in his foot, but I would imagine the events that precipitated *11* artists contributing to Hulk #2 occurred long, long ago. 11 artists. Oh my.
Marvel Introducing Free Download Codes For Digital Copies of Print Comics. iPad Smiling!

Why the change? ‘Cause it’s bolstering the entire market, and good lord if that’s true who am I to complain. At the very least, it’s giving DC a fucking Atomic Leg Drop to blast Marvel with.

Bucky Lives! Brubaker Brings Back ‘Winter Soldier’. Awesome.
I didn’t care much for Fear Itself, but what depressed me the most was the killing of Bucky at the ends of Red Lady Crotchfire or whatever. Brubaker’s take on the Only Guy Who (Doesn’t) Stay Dead was fantastic, and I felt his death was just Event-fueled crap. Well, Bucky lives. Again.
