Marsh was perhaps best-known as the star and co-creator of Upstairs, Downstairs, but she was in wide range of other TV programs and films. As a Doctor Who fan, I remember her from her appearances in "The Crusades", "The Dalek Master Plan" an
Between 1987 and 2004, Fantagraphics Books published 50 softcover volumes of Hal Foster's masterpiece Prince Valiant from the beginning (February 13, 1937) through strip #2271 (August 17, 1980). In 2012, the same publisher began a rerelease of the sa

The first issue of the first mini-series sets the tone: light and humouous. As the story opens, Hercules returns to Olympus "after years of wandering and adventure upon the world of men" and disturbs Zeus's "Day of Reflective Silence." In a fit of ra
Since the fall of Krakoa, Charles Xavier has been locked up in Graymalkin Prison, formerly the the Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters, in Westchester, New York.
I confess that I don't know entirely why; I stopped reading the Krakoa books about two y
Next month, DC Comics will split in two. When "Absolute Power" comes to an end -- and we have a thread on that HERE -- something happens that creates, for lack of a better term, a new Earth-2. This new parallel universe will be published i

Howdy! I'm just leaving a note to say I've got retinal surgery on Monday, March 31. It's out-patient, and if all goes well, I should be back on the board later in the week. The Mods run this board anyway, so I don't really do anything, and you won't
Started looking through the New American Bible at home. This is a much newer translation than the Douay-Rheims I was quoting from on the old board. It reflects a much different sensibility than the D-R did. The D-R was made at a time of great conflic
I started threads for Oni Press's other "EC" titles, so I might as well start one for Cruel Kingdom as well. For some reason, I assumed Cruel Kingdom would be an ongoing narrative, but it's not; it's an anthology (sword & sorcery in this case), just
ABSOLUTE GREEN LANTERN #1 (DC, 40 PAGES, $4.99) is by writer Al Ewing and artist Jahnoy Lindsay. The solilcitation says "without the ring," but it sure looks like this girl's got one. And one of the covers has a ghostly Hal Jordan, so
It has recently come to my attention that my comic book collection is deficient in "Deadpool" comics; I have only two and I have read only one. To that end I have set out to correct this deficiency by reading Deadpool Team-Up by character "creator" R

1)The first episode is pretty much set-up, with the business of the Visualizer being used to inform the regulars that the Daleks were after them. Good thing the Doctor nabbed it from the Space Museum, or presumably the Daleks would've
