Periscope: Portland's storyboard and comics studio.

The critics weigh in on Jeff Parker's Marvel debut, Marvel Adventures Spider-Man #4.
Three big thumbs up: Spider-fan , Comics Nexus, and Silver Bullet.

More Parker Marvel material can be found this week in Amazing Fantasy #10, debuting the Vampire By Night feature. And when you're all Marvelled and Parkered out, pick up Teen Titans #25 for some of the sharpest art yet by Matthew Clark, who's getting and giving the royal treatment here. His favorite character to draw? Beast Boy.

In other news, there was a guy standing in front of the studio today, smoking. He didn't have a nose. What's up with that? Terri had seen him before, but we thought it was just bullshit. Now we have to believe her.
