The Superman Family: How Close is Too Close?
I posed this on the JLA-JSA thread, and am giving it its own post here at the Captain's suggestion:
"I can see a reading of the "Luma Lynai" scene from another direction. Remember, Supergirl is the one who's messing about in Superman's love life a

On the Shoulders of Atlas Comics...
If the title of this thread seems overly clever or familiar, it's because I've stolen/ borrowed this title from the four page introduction to the final Tales of Suspense Masterworks volume #186, penned by Barry Pearl, because I think it's very appro

Futurama Timeline
I've been re-watching this, so I thought I'd try and do a timeline for it. The things in parentheses are the episode titles that I based the references on.

World's Finest 25, I'm going to miss these two. Spoilers

Birds of Prey alert! (Old-school edition)
I haven't read it, but from what I understand, fans of the pre-New-52 Birds of Prey might want to pick up this week's Batgirl and the next few issues. It looks like Babs is getting a few familiar guest stars...

The END of Atlas Publishing (circa 1950s)
Someone mentioned publisher Goodwin's habit of having various companies on paper, and having complicated publishing deals as a method of protecting them from having one go under and dragging the whole operation under.

Batgirl 33, Wild Batgirl (Spoilers)
As most everyone else I liked Birds of Prey and when Simone moved off that to Wonder Woman and then was shoved off of Wonder Woman I wasn't happy. She has a gift for small team dynamics and characterization that fits stuff like Birds of Prey or the S

Whatever Happened to that Silver Age Comic Book You Lent Out?
We've all done it as kids...
Thought we could trust one of our friends, perhaps a neighborhood kid, with the loan of a comic book or two.
It goes well at first, you let them one or two issues, they get them back to you.... or perhaps they offer a few
