Once upon a time, a four issue mini-series combined the unused members of the Avengers into a small unit on the West Coast, called the West Coast Avengers. The mini-series was written by Roger Stern. And it proved so successful, that an on-going seri
I spotted this book in Previews and I'm thinking of getting it, but the 16.95 is a bit much, especially with the Phantom Lady and Miss Fury books in there. Anyone know if this is a good book to get?
1)The Daleks again - this time being all passive-aggressive. One gets the impression that this is the closest they come to pulling a practical joke on someone. I do wonder why they build machines that they have to get other people to open for them.
1)This story sees the return of the Weeping Angels, although I have to admit that I'm not perfectly happy with how they are handled. To me, the interesting thing about the Angels was their unique way of despatching their victims - sending them back i
1)BRITS...IN...SPAAAAAACE! It always amuses me how sci-fi tells you more about the time and place in which it was produced than about any potential "future" it might ostensibly be "predicting". Star Trek predicted a very "American" future, so it's

More catch-up reading, this time the short lived Vertigo series Dominique Laveau: Voodoo Child created by Selwyn Seyfu Hinds & Denys Cowan (with John Floyd doing most of the inking). It's an atmospheric New Orleans story about a magical voodoo dynast
With the premiere of Marvel's Agents of SHIELD, one can't help but consider the Silver Age comics version that began with STRANGE TALES #135 (Au'65) in response to the Spy Craze that hit the Sixties. At that time Pop Culture was dominated by the Thre
I keep an eye out for things like this. Done in the same sort of cgi animation as Monster High they got Ashley Tisdale to voice Sabrina and I'm glad she's not making her sound like Candace, the voice she does for Phineas and Ferb. The show itself was

Mister Silver Age was NOT particularly happy at the previous season(s)...and he wasn't entirely happy about Morgan Sperlock's ComiCon film , neither, and sent a sobbing Morgan in one direction
