"This is not rich for me.
I loved Starlin's early stuff but hasn't he made an awful lot of money at Marvel retreading the same stories time and again since.?
Does this mean the latest 'Infinity Siblings' which was billed…"

Vulture has a long interview with Jim Starlin ahead of the release of Avengers: Infinity War and he tells why he's at odds with Marvel, again: "The Creator of Avengers: Infinity War Villain Thanos Hates Marvel Comics’ Guts"See More
ClarkKent_DC replied to ClarkKent_DC's discussion Vulture presents the most influential pages in comics history"I hope not. In this retooling, this Barbara did get shot by The Joker and recovered, eventually, but that all happened off-screen."
Jeff of Earth-J replied to ClarkKent_DC's discussion Vulture presents the most influential pages in comics history""But to my mind, they made it work by retooling Barbara Gordon to a young twentysomething college student."
Sooner or later they'll get around to crippling her again."
ClarkKent_DC replied to ClarkKent_DC's discussion Vulture presents the most influential pages in comics history"Sure. I do think something important was lost when DC got rid of Oracle and brought back Batgirl. But to my mind, they made it work by retooling Barbara Gordon to a young twentysomething college student.
The Barbara Gordon who was a member of…"
Rob Staeger (Grodd Mod) replied to ClarkKent_DC's discussion Vulture presents the most influential pages in comics history"I agree with hat, too -- in the larger, beyond-the-stories sense, Barbara needing to use a wheelchair (and being such an effective hero) is a welcome message of inclusion. In-story, there are plenty of good reasons why she should walk again, given…"
Richard Willis replied to ClarkKent_DC's discussion Vulture presents the most influential pages in comics history"That's a good concept, but I think that having a major character in a wheelchair who isn't an aging mentor would serve the diversity goal. "
Rob Staeger (Grodd Mod) replied to ClarkKent_DC's discussion Vulture presents the most influential pages in comics history"I'd like that. Barbara seems like someone who could recognize that kicking someone in the face might not be the most effective use of her time or talents, if her goal is to fight crime. "
ClarkKent_DC replied to Randy Jackson's discussion Spielberg to direct Blackhawk Movie"I don't know how you make that work in this day and age. I suppose they could do the Vertigo series from 2009, but that isn't really classic "Haunted Tank.""
ClarkKent_DC replied to ClarkKent_DC's discussion Vulture presents the most influential pages in comics history"I keep it bookmarked. It's moved around a few times over the years."
ClarkKent_DC replied to ClarkKent_DC's discussion Vulture presents the most influential pages in comics history"I always thought that they could and should have healed Barbara Gordon, but she would choose to continue to be Oracle and not go back to being Batgirl."
ClarkKent_DC replied to Randy Jackson's discussion Spielberg to direct Blackhawk Movie"I seem to vaguely recall that Mark Evanier's stories had all seven members, but individual issues focused on groups of two or three, or spotlighted solo members.
I haven't read all that many Blackhawk stories myself. Just the Evanier/Dan…"
ClarkKent_DC replied to Randy Jackson's discussion Spielberg to direct Blackhawk Movie"I wouldn't want this to be the Sgt. Rock movie, but I always thought the story of the last guy to get killed in the war is a great concept for a movie. I mean, some poor jamoke would have to be the very last casualty, right?"
ClarkKent_DC replied to Captain Comics's discussion 'The Flash' Season 4"No chatter about the latest episode of The Flash? I actually watched it twice because the ending didn't register with me (they say multitasking doesn't work, so maybe they're right).
Anyway, Team Flash is still stumped on how to beat…"
Richard Willis replied to ClarkKent_DC's discussion Vulture presents the most influential pages in comics history"An impressive, and daunting, list.
I still think it was a mistake to heal Barbara Gordon. She was a much better character as Oracle, IMO, than having her resume being just another Bat-acrobat character.
In the 90s I enjoyed the Batman family…"
Rob Staeger (Grodd Mod) replied to ClarkKent_DC's discussion Vulture presents the most influential pages in comics history"Thanks for finding that site, CK -- I did a brief search and didn't see it. "
ClarkKent_DC replied to ClarkKent_DC's discussion Vulture presents the most influential pages in comics history"It's worth it to take a look at the actual Women in Refrigerators site, here: "Women in Refrigerators"
As Wikipedia notes in its entry, Gail Simone coined the term, back before she was a comics professional. The also includes…"
Rob Staeger (Grodd Mod) replied to ClarkKent_DC's discussion Vulture presents the most influential pages in comics history"Don't get hung up on the fridge itself. The point wasn't that it was recommending that kind of behavior. The point was that it was a glaring example of the killing & otherwise harming female characters simply to motivate male…"
Richard Willis replied to ClarkKent_DC's discussion Vulture presents the most influential pages in comics history"The first time I saw a murdered woman in a refrigerator was in the David Cronenberg movie Rabid (1977). In this case it was done by the female quasi-vampire, not by a man. I didn't see that this was any different than the butchering of men and…"

Ten years ago today ...
Posted on February 20, 2011 at 7:56pm 19 Comments 5 Likes
On this day 10 years ago, I was in an accident that totaled my car. I am grateful today for three things:
That I was in the car by myself; I doubt a passenger would have survived.
That I walked away from it whole; save for some pain in my side that lasted about a week, I was and remain physically sound.
That God saw fit to spare me, that I may carry on in this world and be the husband, father and person He wants me to be.
I am also grateful to have…
Continue President Luthor (from the old board)

From the old board, I launched the "President Luthor" thread with this post (July 21, 2003):
At my last visit to my friendly neighborhood comics shop, I say the President Luthor trade paperback. I haven't read the Superman titles for several years (heresy, I know), and the notion of Lex Luthor becoming President of the U.S. wasn't enough to entice me back.
It's a nifty idea, I'll admit ... but the time to do it was very shortly after the… Continue

Bugs Bunny, the greatest baseball player ever
Posted on August 18, 2009 at 2:49pm 3 Comments 0 Likes
I just ran across this sportswriter's analysis of "Baseball Bugs," the classic Looney Tunes short in which Bugs Bunny takes on the Gas House Gorillas all by himself -- starting in the fourth inning of a game in which the Gorillas are leading the Tea Totallers 54-0 -- and wins 96-95. It's funny because it's so, so serious ... "Bugs Bunny, Greatest Banned Player Ever"

The church is Wesley-Knox United Church in London, Ontario. They drew a sizable crowd to Chaney's Phantom.
I have some links below. You'd have to contact them for further information:
