Reply Subj: Apparently there's a controversy with a recurring Spider-Man cast member, and CSFB didn't tell us about it.

I'm disappointed in you Kirk... I trust you to keep me up to date on this kind of thing, since I don't read comics or really visit the comic centric websites any longer. Still, this apparently happened in "Hulk", so I know that's not really your beat. I'd be happy to hear your thoughts on it though...

Apparently, some people are offended by a cowering, topless Silver Sable who showed up in Jeff Loeb's Hulk #17. I can't say I'm shocked (that they're offended)... and I'm not sure I've ever even read more than the briefest Sable cameo in a comic.

There is not any aspect of Loeb's writing that is not made of failure and soul-rape. His work on the Ultimate line of titles was such sorry dogshit that I actually found myself thinking, "Boy, I sure do miss the relatively subtle nuances, clever dialogue, well-rounded characterizations and credible, internally consistent plots of MARK FUCKING MILLAR," and since I'm pretty sure you know how I feel about Mark Millar's writing (to steal a phrase coined by Michael Swaim, it's like getting kicked in the eyes by AIDS), that should tell you how much worse Loeb is.

Loeb makes Michael Bay movies look intelligent, and the current Spider-Man comics seem marginally decent by comparison. Over on 4chan, one poster actually wrote, "I wish I could go back in time and kill Loeb's son. Yes, I know he died anyway, but I want to know that I was the one to inflict that pain on Loeb, for all the pain he's inflicted on us." When I read that, two thoughts went through my head:

1. Oh my God, what a horrible thing to say.
2. And yet, I can kind of understand where he's coming from.

  - The artist is Ian Churchill, who's radically changed his style from the days when he was a Liefeld/Lee clone. (no text) · CrazySugarFreakBoy! · Fri Dec 04, 2009 at 12:16:16 am EST
