"And they justified Doomsday killing him by, first, depowering him -- this was the post-Crisis Superman. Second, against Doomsday, this Superman basically wore himself out in the slugfest."

"As our friend Randy always says, you write a Superman story that's longer than two pages by giving him problems he can't solve with his fists. Writers in the Golden Age and the Bronze Age managed that just fine. "

"And then there's Superman: Kryptonite Nevermore!, which collects Superman (Volume 1) #232-238 and 240–242. I've seen the leadoff story -- the one in which all kryptonite on Earth is destroyed -- many times, but not any of the ones…"
"Next was Superman: Action Comics Vol. 1: Invisible Mafia, which covers Action Comics #1001-1006 by Brian Michael Bendis. It's interesting, but not enough to bring me back to the Superman titles. The art is fine, and the Superman…"

"Yes, but could we really expect that Marvel -- or any other buyer of DC's properties -- would do either or both of those things? I don't.
The closest examples I can think of are back when DC bought the Archie heroes and ran them in…"
"Another good example! I wouldn't have thought of that. My recollection is Disney bought Crossgen's properties when it went bankrupt before it bought Marvel, and that's why they happened.
Another case is DC's licensing…"
"Luke, Marvel also bought the Crossgen line as some point. They did a few mini-series, and that was it!"
"TV Line says the Ezra Miller cameo happened after filming had wrapped ... at the request of bigwigs at Warner/DC: "'Crisis on Infinite Earths' Burning Qs Answered!""

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…

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:
