I have spent 10,000 hours pleading with you to get my new comic (IF DESTRUCTION BE OUR LOT... #1 in stores today) and a lot of you did. So thank you all so much. But there are a ton of other amazing comics in shops today that also deserve your love and attention. Here are a few I urge you to grab.

You may see this and ask, "Owen, why cover Marville? Why do this to yourself?" The answer is simple. Why not?

Imagine taking over Amazing Spider-Man at just 19, writing some of the most important comics ever, creating the Punisher, Carol Danvers, Jason Todd, Firestorm and Killer Croc AND writing the first Marvel/DC crossover. A true hall-of-fame career by any measure. RIP Gerry Conway.

Bloodbath at Marvel Comics today. Disney is axing over 1000 people. Unclear how many at Marvel. The number being talked about is 8% of the staff was cut, which is jawdropping. CEO scumbag Josh DβAmaro-- salary this year of $45M-- ordered the layoffs. Disney had a gross profit of $35B last year.

Between Daredevil: Yellow, Static, Waid's FF and The Dark Knight Returns, I've been on a run of covering genuinely great comics lately. I feel like I need to rectify that and cover something bad before I dive back into the good stuff.

I really enjoyed Daredevil #1. I was intrigued by Stephanie Phillips' pitch. As an ex-academic, it felt like a run designed for me. Lee Garbett & Frank Martin do amazing work together; I love the new DD suit and the book's overall look. Fun stuff, I'm excited to follow along!
