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
Hey, are any of you guys in the Boston/Providence, R.I. area? I'm going there for a conference during the week of February 15-21, and I'd like to connect with a fellow Legionnaire while I'm there.
In any event, I'm sure to be looking for some comics s
I have been aware of the Menomonee Falls Gazette for quite some time, but I had never seen a copy until recently. For most of my life I have had an idea for a "comic strip newspaper." Little did I know such a thing already existed. The Menomonee Fall
GODZILLA: INFINITY ROAR #1 (OF 5), $5.99: I still have the last Marvel vs. Godzilla series of one-shots on my to-read pile. I think the novelty has worn off.
The following is a timeline derived from my reading of All-Star Comics issues 3 - 57. Input will be only from the stories in those comics. No subsequnet amendments or addiitons will be included. The issues various lines are derived from will be not
Emerkeith, real name Walter Loyd Lilly, joined us long ago, too long ago ago for me to find his first post. But he stopped posting in late 2020, and many of us feared the worst. That worst was realized when Le
“Just imagine! The mightiest heroes of our time,” trumpeted a DC house ad in 1960. “Superman! Batman! Flash! Green Lantern! Wonder Woman! Aquaman! J’onn J’onzz—Manhunter from Mars!”
This hefty tome can be broken into three sections (the 1960s, the 1970s and the 1980s), and that's how I'm going to handle it. the introduction by Peter J. Sanderson is dated 2005 and was obviously originally written for an earlier collection of the
Hermes says "Looks like the snow has us all stuck inside — and we thought, why not make the best of it?" Which sounds swell, but I don't know who they expect to deliver product to us. I haven't seen a car or truck -- certainly not UPS or DHL -- on my
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 can't believe we've gone this long without starting a beer thread. I enjoyed the one on the old board and actually tried some of the beverages that were liked by others.
I've discovered that I really like Sam Adams Oktoberfest. I've never enjoyed
Superman: The Triangle Era omnibus ships next week. It comprises Superman#49-64,Adventures of Superman#472-486,Action Comics#659-673 and Superman: The Man of Steel#1-8. It is named for the sequential numbering of the four regular series which a
I still remember the day I bought Warlord #1 new off the spinner rack at Ahmann's Newsstand. It was the first (but not the last!) time I thought I was getting in on the beginning of a new series, when in fact I was not. I bought the second issue as w
On January 14, 2026, my mother, MaryAnn Portelli passed away quietly at home at the age of 87.
She went to the hospital on December 12, 2025, was almost sent to a rehab facility then took a turn for the worst. By Dec.19, doctors began to tell us to p
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
Has anyone heard of a show called Selling Superman? I'd never heard of it, but Jim Cornette discusses it here. (Language Warning) I hadn't heard of it, but apparently, it's about this guy who collected 300,000 comics - including some rare Golden and
