Oni Press's new "EC" imprint first came to my attention when my retailer gave me a double-sided promotional poster (because I buy all those archival EC reprints published by Dark Horse and Fantagraphics and IDW). I thought it was a good sign that the

Read more…Even though issues 1 and 2 didn't overly impress me, I was planning on sticking with Flash: Rebirth out of faith that Geoff Johns would ultimately give me a good story. But issue three today convinced me that...yeah, I'm just not digging this book.

I have not read the Crisis on Infinite Earths maxi-series in its entirety for 30 years. I keep meaning to re-read the whole thing, but I have read just #11-12 many many times, most recently in 2010 and 2019. For the past year (almost), DC has been re

Alex Raymond drew the Flash Gordon Sunday page from 1934 through 1944. From 1990-1993, Kitchen Sink Press reprinted the entire series in six hardcover volumes, on slick paper, in horizontal format. From 2011-2014, IDW reprinted the series in four lar

With the advent of "Hereos Return," Avengers once again became my favorite title, a status it maintained right up until the launch of X-Men: The Hidden Years a year later. the premise of the series is that it would fill the gap from #67-93 when X-Men

Read more…I’m kind of a sucker for these “What If” series where they present variations on a given character, even if they are more like “Elseworlds” than proper “What Ifs” to my mind.
We begin with the question, “What if Galactus transformed Hulk?”

Hi all!
It just occured to me that there might be some utility in having a thread where we post what cons we're going to (and other assorted nerdery) to see if anyone wants to meet up for a while, and see each other in person! (gasp!)
So here's that
I don't suppose anyone has a list of pitchers and balls for the fastball special?
By pitchers I mean the likes of Colossus and She-Hulk.
By balls, I mean whoever was being thrown.
Read more…I first saw “The Celestial Toymaker” (episode four on the Lost in Time DVD set) early on in my Doctor Who watching and, frankly, didn’t get that much from it. At that time I had yet to meet Steven, much less Dodo, so I had no connection to the compan

This release (described as a "mini-series) from 2018 comprises four individual hour-long episodes. I think I listened to one of them, but was too concerned with where (or even if) they fit into continuity to really enjoy it. Maggie and Quentin were n

1)David Bradley does fairly well as Hartnell. He doesn’t quite capture him for me, but I’m willing to forgive a bit, since Hartnell was such a one-off t

I haven't seen any discussion here about Gaiman, and maybe it's because we don't really want to go down that road with another celebrated person. I don't know even know what to say. I've admired his writing, my brief interaction with him at a con was
