Playing catch-up: The regular installment of "All The Rage" returns this week, with Markisan finally taking note of the Christopher Priest-Rich Johnston conflict. Okay, to be fair, last week's column was devoted to Tony Isabella, so Markisan is a little behind ...

But, at the risk of sounding like Rich Johnston, I had it first. (The permalink undoubtedly doesn't work, so you'll have to search for my Nov. 27 entry.)

Markisan does, however, have a couple of mildly interesting tidbits: The first is a shaky report that Mark Millar will write a resurrected "X-Force," which will feature the return of Rob Liefeld. The other is that Keith Giffen is working on a new title with Steve Niles for IDW called "Gut Wrencher."
