I would've commented on this elsewhere but it doesn't seem like we can comment on New Comics, right? (That'd be a neat addition on here).

Anyways, I love the cheesy ol' Big Red Cheese and I'm a big fan of Jeff Smith, so I'm real psyched to read this. I'll prob wait for the trade though to get it all at once.

One question: Is this series IN continuity? Or does it stand completely on its own?

Not sure about continuity. It seems to take place waaaaay at the beginning of Billy's career as Cap. Marvel. I love Jeff Smith. I wasn't sure how his stuff would translate to superheros. But with his writing and maybe the character too, it works. I "reviewed" it in my blog. Good stuff.

The hardcover just came out this week. This was such a great series. Even though I bought all four issues, I had to buy the hardcover. It's such a gem. So nice seeing Jeff Smith working on a "super hero" comic. This is what comics should be about. Great fun for everyone.

Yeah. Jeff Smith is something. Bone was such a great cartoony book. When I heard he was doing Captain Marvel, I didn't know how it would work. But it did.

I started out reading it. I like it. The art seems a little off for some reason. I've been buying it but haven't read the last couple issues. I gotta find the time to catch up on that.

Howard Poter. I loved the first issue, but the worst part about the art is that it make it late on release. Between 7-8 it took way more than a month. I wish they make the rest of CM like they did in the first issue.

I do like the art as well. but hes no Alex Ross. :D
