What elements HAVE to be there in a costume update?
This is the cover of the new Action #1 coming out in a couple of months, and we're promised a progression in Superman's costume. We've already discussed the lack of trunks elsewhere, but I have a slightly different costuming question.

MMW Avengers Vol. 11
MMW Avengers Vol. 11 doesn’t really hold a candle to Vol. 10, which reprinted the arc of issues (#89-100) which included the Kree/Skrull War, but it’s not bad, not bad indeed. Issue #101 is based on a story by Harlan Ellison, but it’s never been one

Li'l Abner
My memories of Li’l Abner go back to the days before I learned how to read, sitting on my mother’s lap as she read the Sunday funnies to me. “Which one would you like me to read next?” she would ask, and I would point. Sometimes I would point to Li’l

A Few Years Late: Civil War
Okay, I hate to be the one to do this, but I just read this TPB this morning and I want to talk about it. I wasn't going to ever read it, but I found it at Half Price Books, so I grabbed it and I thought it was a really great story! A few observation

What do you think of ratings , as they are applied now to comic books , especially now that the Code is officially 100% kaputo and it seems like many companies have adopted the same system/set'o'lettes that Marvel uses ?????

Sometimes being a hero gives you free rein to be a jerk
I had discussed something similar back in the day on the CBG forum but something brought the idea back to mind. I was just looking over Essential Avengers vol. 4 and there is the story originally presented in Avengers # 87, "Look Homeward, Avenger !"

Because I don't gripe anywhere near enough
Prepare yourself for a Grandpa Simpson good old fashion tirade ;)
I am going to make a provocative statement. I enjoy the work of Jack Kirby and Stan Lee but I have had my fill. Same goes for the work of Gardner Fox, Joe Shuster, Jerry Siegal, Bob

Mister Fantastic---Guest Star?
While going through my Marvel Team-Ups, I recalled how excited I was as a kid that #17 (Ja'74) featured Reed Richards, Mister Fantastic as the co-star. I never saw him guest star by himself in another comic. He was always with the Fantastic Four. And

The Comics Journal
The recent mention of TCJ in another line gives me excuse to mention it .
TCJ started as a free adzine named THE NOSTALGIA JOURNAL , which IIRC I had a ( Unsolicited ? ) subscription to in 1977 when Gary Groth bought it and turned it into THE COMIC

Which DC relaunch books are you surprised by your interest in?
When the relaunch was announced, I knew there would books I knew I'd be picking up, no matter what -- the Legion books and Flash are always sure sales for me. And Jonah Hex has become a very steady favorite.
But there are some where my interest in th

The Defenders: Marvel Vault One-Shot
The story behind this story is as interesting as the story itself. Back when Kurt Busiek and Erik Larsen were doing The Defenders, editor Tom Breevoort commissioned a fill-in from Fabian Nicieza and Mark Bagley. Nicieza wrote the plot and Mark Bagley

Reading comics on the phone
I just got an Android phone (an HTC Inspire 4G from AT&T). There's a Comixology app plus lots of free comics to download, so I had to try it out. I came into it with serious doubts about reading comics on a 4.3 inch screen, but it actually works surp
