This issue of the comics profession's foremost magazine of news and criticism contains two main features: First, a career-spanning interview with one of the most skillful and popular genre writers in comics, Brian Michael Bendis. Bendis discusses his crime-comics beginnings, writing
Sam & Twitch for Todd McFarlane, his early crime comics (
Jinx,
Goldfish,
Torso), his Hollywood satire
Fame & Glory and his sordid experiences in Hollywood, his espionage/noir graphic novel
Fire, and his break-out into mainstream comics where he rejuvenated Marvel's
Daredevil and
Ultimate Spider-Man and created
Alias, as well as his creator-owned
Powers. Second, this is our annual Year-In-Review issue: The Journal's critics revisit 2004, selecting the best comics and graphic novels of the year. We'll also look at manga, webcomics and how the industry itself reacted to the changing marketplace. Add in another 35-page selection of classic comics, no-holds-barred industry commentary and the celebrated news, regular columns, elitist judgments, and snide remarks that have won the magazine countless awards!
