Panel Vision - Top 10 Godzilla Covers

Edited by Robert Beach

Welcome back to my bi-weekly Saturday cover showcase. We’ll see if I’m committed enough to eventually give it less of a mouthful of a name. Sorry, September has been such a sketchy month for blog posts; hopefully, that will turn around in the latter half of the month, but I make no promises. You can still find my weekly work on All-Comic and Front Towards Gamer, and I’ll still be getting pieces out like this one. 

With that little bit of housekeeping out of the way, Godzilla, where to begin?  In case you’ve somehow avoided one of the largest figures in nerd culture, Godzilla is a giant monster lizard who birthed the Kaiju subgenre of Sci-Fi/Horror films. He’s been around for over 50 years, is the King of the Monsters, and is incredibly awesome. Godzilla’s also appeared on numerous comic covers over the years, and this Saturday we honor him.  

Panel Vision - Should Spider-man Be Married?

Last week brought us issue 2 of Dan Slott’s Renew Your Vows mini-series, Slott’s comprehensive look at the incredibly divisive One More Day story by Joe Quesada and J. Michael Straczynski.  Renew Your Vows has been shaky ground so far, leaning heavily on a lot of narrative contrivance while failing to really reach a more cogent stance on the nature of Peter as a father and husband.  It’s possible there’s a revival waiting in the wings for the series as Slott is an excellent writer in his own right but the whole affair has set me thinking.  I’ve never been a huge fan of Spider-man though I certainly like the character though I was always more intrigued by his villains than the man himself.  What’s attracted me to web head recently is the question that’s ultimately lingered over him and the entire Spider-man comic fandom since the events of One More Day: should Spider-man be married.
