Five Fists of Science is a fantastic read.
Fraction was making Tesla cool before all the other steampunk fans jumped on the bandwagon.
There, I said it. #angel
Agreed, so tired of hearing about most of what DC or Marvel has to offer.... YAAAAWWWWN. Tired and old.
How about covering something cool like Atomic Robo or King City? Give us some independent GOOD stuff. Why do we need io9 to tell us about what the majors are doing? As if it's not everywhere else.
@BellaCroesus: I'm going to have to second you. The truth in your comment is almost but not quite breached by your snark.
It would be very nice to have a well-read indie comic fetishist recommend the obscure stuff to us.

This picture really confirms the age-old crush I have always had on Saturn Girl from the very first moment I saw the original silver-age Legion comics.
@van_line: It's all of them. One is traveling the Multiverse, one is on Earth Prime and the one in Geoff John's recent stuff, the originals are the current future.
John Byrne ("The Man of Steel"), Mark Waid ("Birthright"), and now Geoff Johns. If Superman actually had a future, DC wouldn't have to keep rewriting his past. The character is a dead end.
Ah, okay. So that's why they're running so many crossovers now (they're only running 4 right at this very moment) just to get them all out of their system so not to detract from any other big time advertised event comics they could have in the future.
Which is also funny in the more about Marvel sidebar is two more crossover comics coming out.
I am a rabid fanboy, but they have been saying this EXACT thing at conventions since 2006.
Sadly, I was all up in the civil war, but fell behind and now have pretty much given up. I think the biggest problem for me was that the comics I was reading, which were generally not Bendis comics, didn't build up to the big crossovers and I was kind of lost. Then paid a lot to get up to speed.
I have to say, I'm about 3-5 years behind on all things marvel simply because I wait for the collected editions. It's annoying, but I can't afford to by titles as the come out and actually follow the story anymore.
@Belabras: (Now I'm in the right post) Don't feel bad, I've only now gotten back into comics after a 10 year hiatus. I can't afford to get caught back up so I tend to Wiki, Google, mooch or squat in the local comic shop to get snippets of cannon information. Fortunately, io9 has given me a lot of meat and potatoes in the last few months :)

Hot. I am getting a twitching sensation in my ... uhh, eyes (?), just thinking about it.
Mignola should get him to draw Hellboy. Imagine the beautiful madness! (drools a lot) #gijoe

However, sneetch pelts can fetch a high price for those stars. Good luck.

Also even though I read Legion of 3 Worlds I still don't know which Legion is the current Legion.

So now? I live vicariously through io9.
