G-Man
I don't think I've heard of G-Man before, but I was looking at the previews at Image's website and wanted to bring the feature to the attention of Legionnaires who've missed it and like kid-oriented comics. Just out is the 2nd issue of a 5-issue mini

Skaar Son of Hulk
I've just been reading Skaar Son of Hulk #7, which Marvel currently has up in the free digital comics section of its website. It's very much like a barbarian comic, with Skaar a cross between the Hulk and Conan. The art, by Butch Guice, is excellent

Eyein’ the Cylons.
I was very tempted to call this thread Figs Watches Battlestar. It was hard to resist. Like Jeff’s Buffy thread, this is also about discussing a series that has finished and that I’ve seen very few spoilers for, so it seemed appropriate. I don’t int

It's who you know...even if you don't know it.
So I'm having coffee with my nephew Aaron who's in town for a few days, and we're catching up. He's talking about his old crew, ninety percent of whom I taught during my days of student teaching. He mentioned one friend of his who's doing quite well

SUPERMAN ANNUAL #14
On one level, Superman Annual #14 is a retelling of “Superboy’s Big Brother” (i.e., Mon-El from Superboy #89), but it’s mainly a history of Dax-Am in the post-post-post-]Crisis DCU. Only 10 of this issue’s 38 page story deal with Mon-El, only three o

Spidey in the 1990's: what did you like?
It wasn't all bad, was it? I know, I know. There was The Clone Saga, and Maximum Carnage, and Torment. Maybe not high points, but I bet there are fans of even those stories here on the boards. Tell me what you liked. I didn't follow comics for most
