Love Everlasting Volume 1; and Ice Cream Man Volume 11- Horror, Horror. Ice Cream Man is great as always, but Love Everlasting was a surprise, despite the all-star creative team (Tom King, writer; Elsa Charretier, artist; Matt Hollingsworth, colorist; Clayton Cowles, letterer). I was not…

Quote RED RAVEN, Never More!
I realized that I had access to all of RED RAVEN's Golden, Silver and Bronze Age appearances, few as they are and thought I would focus on this anomaly of Timely Comics. I will be going in publishing order because that's easier and will hightlight…

A Cover a Day
Ok, how about this for an idea. We take it in turns to post a favourite (British spelling) comic cover every day. This went really well on the comic fan website that I used to frequent. What we tried to do was find a theme or subject and follow…

War Comics
BATTLEFIELD:I'm not a big fan of war comics. I have read all of Frontline Combat and Two-Fisted Tales, but when it comes to Sgt. Rock or Sgt. Fury, I've never been able to get more than a Marvel Masterworks or DC Archives volume in before losing…

Movies I Have Seen Lately
Saw a Takashi Miike picture called The Great Yokai War. "Yokai" is a Japanese term for monsters from folklore, as opposed to the more familiar kaiju. It's a kids' picture, about a young boy from Tokyo sent out to live in the countryside with his…
