In honor of our exhibition of original art from the entire issue of AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #50 by J. Michael Straczynski, John Romita Jr. and Scott Hanna, MoCCA presents an unprecedented roundtable discussion of the past quarter-century of all things Peter Parker with the editors who have helmed the title since the Reagan Administration! Axel Alonso (editor of ASM #50), Tom Brevoort, Danny Fingeroth, and MoCCA Trustee Jim Salicrup join current AMAZING editor Steve Wacker for the panel chat and audience Q&A. Moderated by MoCCA Trustee and current Spidey scribe Fred Van Lente.

In addition to this MoCCA’s also running The Art of Archie Comics (both thru 2/28).  It’s only a few blocks from Forbidden Planet, so I encourage comic fans of all stripes to visit us both this coming Thursday.

• Anthrax guitarist Scott Ian is writing a new “Lobo” series with Sam Kieth.   This is today’s “get me this book, right now” moment.
• Brian Bendis is getting on the Amazing Spider-Man crew with number 601. I think Bendis is probably the best Spider-Man writer today and considering what has happened with the Ultimate line of books, I’m just really happy to see this happen. Its been a long time coming, as far as I’m concerned.
• Dan DiDio was on Fox News Business talking about Wednesday Comics.
• Robot Chicken creators are going on tour with Gym Class Heroes.
