Infinity War, Infinity Gauntlet, ad infinitum
These are the type of epic, multi-crossover events that drove me from comics in the mid-1980s, but when I stumbled upon the complete six issue run of "Infinity War" for 25 cents each I couldn't resist. And while I probably wouldn't read it again, I r

When the Joker wasn't over-exposed
Over in Howard Bagby's discussion "A Batman A Day", I mentioned that after Denny O'Neil became editor of the Batman titles, we saw the beginning of the overexposure of the Joker. O'Neil became the editor with Batman 401 and Detective 568, cover dated

Is this a swipe?
This is some kind of ad for Joss Whedon's Dollhouse, which I saw on ICv2.com. My brain says this is a swipe -- and a Steranko swipe at that -- but I can't find it. Anybody know?

Classic novels adaptations question
Anyone remember a series of pocket-sized, B&W graphic adaptations of classic novels from the late 80s/early 90s? I think I briefly had the Frankenstein volume. I'm asking because I remember seeing an adaptation of the Australian novel For the Term o

Comics as art exhibit on U of O.
The University of Oregon is showing an exhibit of original art and rare comics. Not the artsy-fartsy stuff that seems to usually make up this kind of display but actual superhero comics. There was an article about it in The Oregonian but you can read

- Two months in a row now and no Dark Horse for me.
- Nice of the to reveal a significant plot point from Darkest Night here.

Spider-Man: The Gauntlet
I just saw a preview of "The Gauntlet" at Newsarama. It's the new storyline in Amazing Spider-Man, and I've got no idea how long it'll last -- or how long even the first chapter of it, dealing with Electro and written by Mark Waid, will last. Anyone

Most embarrassing comics moments
I offer the time Jeph Loeb revealed that the Parasite has kidnapped Lois Lane, meaning Superman had been sleeping with a purple blob for weeks. So much for his special senses . . .
