I realized that I had access to all of RED RAVEN's Golden, Silver and Bronze Age appearances, few as they are and thought I would focus on this anomaly of Timely Comics. I will be going in publishing order because that's easier and will hightlight ce
This is the second of Oni Press's new EC imprint (following last month's Epitaphs from the Abyss).
SPOILERS - I generally don't like to know in advance if a story has a twist ending. That itself is a spoiler for me because in the back of my mind I try
I have been very much looking forward to the release of this audio, not only because it is from one of the legendary missing stories, not only because it features the Daleks, not only because it’s the longest Doctor Who serial ever (12 episodes plus
*(a.k.a. "The Captain America of the 1950s," a.k.a. "The Other Steve Rogers"; this post largely transcribed from George Olshevsky's The Marvel Comics Index v1 #8A).
Captain America and Bucky returned to comics in the middle 1950s when stories of Marve
So after many years of gentle and not so gentle prodding I have finally started watching Doctor Who. In the past I have seen snippets of the new series, and generally walked away muttering “… all right … that was odd. … Don’t see much point in that.
I'm not a big fan of war comics. I have read all of Frontline Combat and Two-Fisted Tales, but when it comes to Sgt. Rock or Sgt. Fury, I've never been able to get more than a Marvel Masterworks or DC Archives volume in before losing inte
Hey guys! I've kinda given up collecting comics - too expensive and too confusing. But I want to go out on something intriguing* and to me, Stargirl and Justice Society kinda look like it. Is it worth quitting after getting these two TPB's or is ther

Eventually, of course, the War ended. The Axis was crushed. (Was there ever any doubt that we would win?) And all the Marvel superheroes found themselves effectively out of a job.
Since Jeff is doing yeoman work on Steve Rogers and Jeff Mace, I thought I'd help out with William Naslund. I cobbled together a list of likely appearances, and lifted, wrote or re-wrote summaries from online. This is a quick and dirty summary assemb
Up until now, we have made due with a single "Dark Shadows" thread which comprises all related topics lumped together, but now I find it preferable to break out "Seances and Sources" for ease of reference and update.
Inspired by Captain America #32 (2000), I wrote a letter to the Comics Buyer's Guide which was printed in #1362. In it, I traced Captain America's involvement in World War II solely through what was revealed in the comics themselves. What follows is
I never buy comics out of a sense of nostalgia, but Superman vs. Spider-man is the exception that disproves the rule. Of this recent spate of '70s TE reprints, I buy only the ones I never had or those I somehow lost track of over the years. Yet I bou
As I did with "The Greatest Joker Stories Ever Told" discussion, I borrowed the title from a tpb collection but I plan to go beyond the actual contents of the collection itself. Catwoman has the unique distinction of appearing in the first three cons
"Out of the super-star studded firmament of Gotham City, where Batman and Robin shine supreme as masked manhunters -- bursts a brand-new luminary -- Batgirl! And like that very Batman after whom she models herself -- she too battles crime and injusti
Having seen my good friend Jeff's latest TV-based discussion, Jeff Watches Torchwood, I thought, "Since Jeff is posting about a current program that he's watching for the first time, I ought to post about an old program that I'd be watching for what
