Thought I'd try re-posting my latest update of this. There's more than a few characters on the list that probably either stretch or exceed your definition of a "super-hero". I've tried to clear out most of the most egregious ones, but there's a few I
As has already been noted elsewhere on this board, today's "Aquaman" DC Finest edition completely comprises the contents of 2003's Aquaman Archives Vol. 1 (and only). I have read that volume twice in the the last 20 years and have no desire to read t
I have started this project three or four times in the past but have always abandoned it before completion. Today I am going to abandon my usual prolix introduction and get right to it.
#1-2.GERRY CONWAY: Gene Colan lobbied hard for Tomb of Dracula,
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
AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #1 (MARVEL, $5.99) is by writerJoe Kelly and artists Pepe Larraz and John Romita Jr. Jeff of Earth-J and I have discussed earlier our willingness to experiment with this restart of the title, even though it seems to
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
Jay North, best-known as the TV version of Hank Ketcham's Dennis the Menace, has died at the age of 73 from colon cancer. North later went on to appear in a number of TV shows and a handful of movies, and voiced the teenage Bamm-Bamm in The Pebbles a
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
