June 02, 2008

Pulp Secret - Comics News and Reviews -- Leading off the week it's Newsarama Sneak Reviews of Ultimate Origins #1 and All Star Superman #11. The guys felt Ultimate Origins didn't quite live up to the hype it's been getting, but they do say to pick it up. Justin has great things to say about the newest issue of All-Star Superman and Alex and Pete agree. Next up it's Kick Ass #3. Pete says he literally jumped out of his seat after reading the ending reveal, but is careful not to spoil the surprise. During the Speed Round we check out Wolverine First Class #3, Firebreather #1, Angel Revelations #1, and Northlanders #6, and Speak of The Devil #6.Finishing off, Lindsey writes in asking if the guys think that there is still a gender divide in comic book collecting. Pete starts out by speaking to the large amount of graphic content aimed at males. Alex mentions that the answer to the gender divide question is much more complicated and why even though men dominate the industry, there are always a huge number of women readers and creators. Justin gives reference to a conversation he had with Neil Gaiman on this very subject. Watch and see what the guys have to say about this controversial topic.Be sure to watch The Stack three times a week and send your comments and questions to tips@pulpsecret.com! (10:44)
