Star-Spangled War Stories Featuring Mademoiselle Marie One-Shot

Well, there's a swell Brian Bolland cover (The Power of Fishnets!) and the interior art is pretty good, too. The story is OK, probably my favorite after the Sgt. Rock one. I never read any Mlle. Marie stories before, so it's hard for my to compare t

The past weekend there was the Dallas Comic Con, and I managed to make it out there. Their headliner guest for this event was Edward James Olmos. He was only there Saturday, and I never saw the guy once. Not too surprising, since the celebrity guests

Teen Titans by Krul and Scott

I was very leery about this new take on the team given Krul's track record so far.  But the first issue by this team was fun and, given Nicola Scott's art, beautiful.  I like the team make-up and I especially liked Dick still thinking about the team

DCU:Legacies #4: First Thoughts

Went to my LCS which is not so local to pick up this month's books. I read DCU: Legacies #4 and saw some obvious changes from the Post Crisis History of the DC Universe and the timeline from Zero Hour.

 

1) Cameo of Wonder Woman teaming with Wonder G

CBG is doing a cover story on the top 10 comics stories of 2010. What do you think they are? No need to come up with 10 -- just the one or ones you thought were biggest. The more opinions, the merrier!

EDITED: Lumbering Jack raised a good que

Superman: Earth One HC

Is anyone here planning to buy the Superman: Earth One HC? I was very seriously considering it. My LCS didn't necessarily under-order, but the ones they did order sold faster than anticipated. I think he said there were four pre-orders and I forgot h

Fan of Bronze: Batman's Killer Brother???!!!

I consider myself fortunate that when I began reading comics, DC converted several titles to 100 pages. These were goldmines for classic Golden and Silver Age gems and classics. The new lead story, not so much. World's Finest #223 (My-Ju'74) introduc

True Story from a Teacher

So I was grading papers this afternoon, and one of the papers was a "Word of the Day" worksheet. Each day, when the kids come in, I have a word of the day written on the board. We talk about it, the part of speech, its meaning, and then the kids have

Archie & Friends #146-147 – “Twilite”

I don’t usually buy Archie comics, but every once in a while an unusual story or direction will attract my attention. In this case, it’s the trend of “sympathetic vampires” coming to Riverdale. As a matter of fact, both a vampire and a werewolf trans

The Green Lantern Corps

I still don’t know if this is a fully realized thought, but I decided to throw it out here anyways. Now this isn’t a comment on the actual Green Lantern storyline(s) which I actually enjoy when they eventually get printed in soft cover. The thing tha

Star Trek: Captain’s Log: Pike

I like stories about Captain Pike’s Enterprise if they’re done well, and this one is done very well, indeed. The story is told in two parts and deals with the relationship between Christopher Pike and Yeoman (later Captain) Colt. The first part of th

Questions About Union Jack!

When Joey Chapman became the third Union Jack in Captain America #254 (F'81), did anyone else get the impression that he and Kenneth Crichton were more than friends? I only ask because artist John Bryne was known to subtly imply that certain characte

DC Universe Legacies #5

A Crisis on Infinite Earths story with George Perez art? What’s not to like? Actually, this is a story I’ve long since thought needed to be revisited. In the post-CoIE DCU there had been a “Crisis,” but there no longer were “Infinite Earths.” This is
