Continuing our discussion from last February (https://captaincomics.ning.com/forum/topics/comics-that-wont-be-selling-on), I don't buy much these days on eBay. But I like to follow it if only for the entertainment value. And sometimes, listings make m

DARK AGES #1 (Dark Horse, $3.99): Medieval barbarians vs. aliens-slash-demons. You won't find it in the history books, but then they don't include Conan's Hyborian Age, do they? Anyway, this book is by Dan Abnett and I.N.J. Culbard, who bro

I was a big fan of Remender's previous sci-fi series Fear Agent, and this one has a similar pulp sensibility. On

Read more…There wasn't much in the last issue, but this one has some good background on Ulga. None on Julifer yet, but I'm hoping for a Captains Courageous sort of transformation. On her and some of the others anyway, so far I can't see much difference between
Read more…The beginning of the end of Mantlo’s Micronauts.
I had a lot of fun reviewing the first 50 issues of Bill Mantlo’s Micronauts comics, but as happens in many comics discussion threads, I dropped off along the way and never did get around to finish
This should go onto the omnibus ME-TV line , but the machine in the mess/TV room in the facility/physical rehab place I am in , has Net Nanny on it !!!!!!!!! (Great...I'm 54 , and distinctly in the " Younger Generation " here .) (oh , and I guess it'
Read more…I like that Geoff Johns has grafted a motivation to Barry Allen. If you've missed it, it's that Barry's mother was killed by a blur, and his father was convicted for the murder and went to jail. So he became a forensic scientist because he's obsessed

1)A Christmas Carol - Tom Lehrer
2)You're A Mean One, Mr. Grinch - Thurl Ravenscroft (It should be illegal for anyone else to sing this song. I've never heard anyone else do it justice.)

I've been enjoying this book very much, so I came to the series conclusion with mixed feelings. On the one hand: no more Locke & Key to read. On the ot

July 24, 2014 -- In a trailer for Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy movie, premiering Aug. 1, a law enforcement official of some kind says in that the team is a bunch of … ah, how can I phrase this? Let’s say
Read more…Which DC or Marvel hero do you want to see in a movie? Someone overlooked that has a good story?
I think a Deadman movie would be good. Or what about the Spectre?
Read more…I have no idea why DC sent me this for review, since they haven't sent me any others for a long time, so I have no idea what's going on.
But you know what? It's a good little issue. It moves several plots along that I know nothing about, but the char

And Ronan is Silver Age, so he fits here.

I'm puzzled really, I expected Power Girl and Huntress to show up and neither of them did. In fact this sort of wrapped up a lot quicker than I thought it would. Marella shows up to help, not for the world army or anything but for Batman, a hint of
Read more…This book stars "G.I. Zombie," which alone caused me a wry smile -- back in the long-ago time, it was G.I. Robot in World War II. Time -- and fads -- change.
Anyway, this zombie isn't in combat at all -- he appears to be involved in a modern-day Home
Read more…I'm actually enjoying the "Doomed" storyline. But this book really made me mad.
It opens with a Daily Planet front-page story (or top of web-page story) by Lois Lane that, as is usual in comics, demonstrates a complete lack of understanding by comic-

Read more…In case you're wondering, this is the Old 52 versions of these two heroines.
That's important, because it means they're both wearing fishnet stockings -- which I'm guessing is the reason someone got the idea to pair these two characters, and why the

I really didn't see that coming.
Man, I really didn't see that coming!
This is great!
