MLD’s “The State of Comics”
Over the last few months, we’ve taken a hard look at where some of the most popular comics franchises currently stand. With all of these books on shelves, how many are really giving us what we want for our money.
The State of DC Comics and The New 52
Over the next few weeks and months we’ll be publishing a series of articles discussing the general state of a variety of families of titles or of major comic book initiatives. With February marking the end of the sixth month of DC’s New 52 relaunch it seemed like an opportune time to revisit the line
The State of the Avengers – Spring 2011
Last year we spent some time talking about the relaunch of Marvel’s Avengers line here at MLD. These series introduced the publisher’s new Heroic Age that introduced new lineups, new creative teams and new threats. It was a good time to give all of these titles a shot. Some of the books really captured my attention,
The State of the Incredible Hulks – Winter 2011

The State of the Batmen (and Women) – Winter 2010/2011
This article has been planned since shortly after MLD ran the State of the X-Men piece back in November. The delay in the post has been directly tied to the delay in DC Comics publishing their second new high profile Batman title, David Finch’s Batman: The Dark Knight, which was originally due to ship November
The State of the X-Men – Fall 2010
There was a lot for this X-Men fan to be thankful for this week as all four major X-titles shipped on Wednesday. While in many ways this is great, I can’t help but recognize how much the publishing scheme for these books has changed after they had been coming out weekly for almost all of
