Thought I'd try re-posting my latest update of this. There's more than a few characters on the list that probably either stretch or exceed your definition of a "super-hero". I've tried to clear out most of the most egregious ones, but there's a few I
To avoid further hijacking the "Movies I Have Seen Lately" thread, and because there seems to be some interest in men's attire, I've created this discussion to pursue it. (If I'm wrong abut the level of interest, this discussion can die on the vine
As has already been noted elsewhere on this board, today's "Aquaman" DC Finest edition completely comprises the contents of 2003's Aquaman Archives Vol. 1 (and only). I have read that volume twice in the the last 20 years and have no desire to read t
I have started this project three or four times in the past but have always abandoned it before completion. Today I am going to abandon my usual prolix introduction and get right to it.

Marsh was perhaps best-known as the star and co-creator of Upstairs, Downstairs, but she was in wide range of other TV programs and films. As a Doctor Who fan, I remember her from her appearances in "The Crusades", "The Dalek Master Plan" an
Between 1987 and 2004, Fantagraphics Books published 50 softcover volumes of Hal Foster's masterpiece Prince Valiant from the beginning (February 13, 1937) through strip #2271 (August 17, 1980). In 2012, the same publisher began a rerelease of the sa
AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #1 (MARVEL, $5.99) is by writerJoe Kelly and artists Pepe Larraz and John Romita Jr. Jeff of Earth-J and I have discussed earlier our willingness to experiment with this restart of the title, even though it seems to
The first issue of the first mini-series sets the tone: light and humouous. As the story opens, Hercules returns to Olympus "after years of wandering and adventure upon the world of men" and disturbs Zeus's "Day of Reflective Silence." In a fit of ra
Since the fall of Krakoa, Charles Xavier has been locked up in Graymalkin Prison, formerly the the Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters, in Westchester, New York.
I confess that I don't know entirely why; I stopped reading the Krakoa books about two y
Next month, DC Comics will split in two. When "Absolute Power" comes to an end -- and we have a thread on that HERE -- something happens that creates, for lack of a better term, a new Earth-2. This new parallel universe will be published i
Jay North, best-known as the TV version of Hank Ketcham's Dennis the Menace, has died at the age of 73 from colon cancer. North later went on to appear in a number of TV shows and a handful of movies, and voiced the teenage Bamm-Bamm in The Pebbles a
Howdy! I'm just leaving a note to say I've got retinal surgery on Monday, March 31. It's out-patient, and if all goes well, I should be back on the board later in the week. The Mods run this board anyway, so I don't really do anything, and you won't
Started looking through the New American Bible at home. This is a much newer translation than the Douay-Rheims I was quoting from on the old board. It reflects a much different sensibility than the D-R did. The D-R was made at a time of great conflic
I started threads for Oni Press's other "EC" titles, so I might as well start one for Cruel Kingdom as well. For some reason, I assumed Cruel Kingdom would be an ongoing narrative, but it's not; it's an anthology (sword & sorcery in this case), just
