" Friends don't let friends read ER " was , of course , a response when I brought my EW subscription up in another context on Facebook...

Read more…I have been calling for this story to be collected for some time now, and I’ve been waiting to read the ending for nearly 40 years! When I was a kid, I was able to read only four issues of the eleven (one issue had two stories): parts 1, 2, 4 and 6.
Read more…So DC is putting out all of these big poster prints now. I like some of them, but some aren't nearly to my taste. Here's one I do love, though. It reminds me of a Criterion DVD cover on a movie based on Jonah Hex. I hope that one day someone will act
Read more…We've been on this board for a while now. We've had some old friends leave and some new ones jump on board. For a while now I've noticed some tension popping here and there in various threads. It might be due to personal differences or lack of enthus
Read more…Hello, all! For some time now, I've been working on a "revision" of the Earth-44 Timeline, in an attempt to make it more manageable for me and accessible and enjoyable for anyone who happened to read it. I have created what I am calling (for now, at

Bal Speer (w/a)
I don't understand Black Charity.
I'm usually pretty good at allegory, metaphor and allusion, but I'm not sure Black Charity has any. I might be looking for it because the story doesn't seem very stru

Phil Hester (w), David Marquez (a)
I had a lot of good things to say about the first Days Missing collection. Oddly, much of what I liked isn't present in the second collection, but I like it almost as much.

John R. Fultz (w), Roel Wielinga (a)
This is an ancient creation myth without the messiness of genuine mythology, but also without mythology's gut-feeling of authenticity. But it is mildly amusing.
Primordia is set in an

How about a thread where we share photos, articles, pictures, or other evidence that our favorite characters may be active in the real world.
