Preview: Amazing Spider-Man

As the Gauntlet rages on around him, the spotlight is on Peter Parker's original archenemy-turned-best friend, Flash Thompson. Since losing his legs in service to his country, Flash Thompson's not been deterred by his physical limitations. But even a hero can have his limits. Greg Weisman, one of the brains behind the smash TV hit Spectacular Spider-Man, teams with Luke Ross (CAPTAIN AMERICA) to bring a touching story of Flash Thompson coming to terms with his new life. Then, Fred Van Lente and Joe Quinones (WEDNESDAY COMICS) bring Spider-Man face-to-face with Morbius, The Living Vampire! http://tinyurl.com/yzgyuvk

Review: Zeus: King of the Gods (Blog@Newsarama)

The commonality between the Greek heroes and gods of myth and the twentieth century comic book superheroes has been noticed, expressed and remarked upon so many times that it has long since become a cliché.
