ALL NEW VENOM #1 ($4.99): It's somebody new behind the teeth, and Marvel ain't saying who just yet. Oh, the suspense.
AVENGERS #21 ($3.99) is by writer Jed MacKay and artist Ryan Stegman. It's Avengers vs. the X-Men spe
Read more…Munden's Bar
Earth-J has been out of phase with Cynosure for far too long, but lately I've been doing some time travelling and have discovered that the gateway still exists on the Earth-J of the past. "Munden's Bar" was the back-up feature in most issues of Grimj

The official cookbook inspired by the Toho Godzilla movies and creatures, featuring a wide variety of fun, kaiju-themed food and drink recipes to suit all tastes and skill levels, including the scrumptious Guaczilla, the delicious Gigan’s Wings and t

I'd like to see if I can get this list up to one thousand. I'm sure that I've missed a lot of obvious ones, and even more obscure ones.

- Acromaid (Christine McCall)
- Agatha Harkness

Superman's official motto has been changed after more than 80 years
"Truth, Justice and the American Way" is being officially replaced by "Truth, Justice and a Better Tomorrow", and I'm liking it.
Superman's motto gets a modern update: 'Truth, Justice and a Better Tomorrow' - CNN

My three favorite Eclipse titles are (alphabetically) Airboy, Miracleman and Scout. I didn't start reading any of them from the very beginning, but Airboy was the only one I collected entirely ex post facto. I bought the entire run all at once at a q

I used to buy/listen to quite a few "Doctor Who" audios from Big Finish, mostly in my car during my daily commute to/from work, but the pandemic put the kibosh on that. My interest was primarily in the the Eighth Doctor, "my" Doctor. One way to save

The Tick
I was in on The Tick from the very beginning, thanks mainly to the fact that the owner of my LCS at the time was convinced it was going to be "the next Cerebus." As it turned oout, it was much more like the next Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, however
Read more…Fish Police
I no longer remember when or why I started reading Fish Police by Steve Moncuse, but I suspect it was around the time he made the leap from Fishwrap Production to Comico, and from black & white to color. He self-published the first 11 issues beginnin

SPIDER-BOY #13 ($4.99) features not just the new Spider-Girl, but also Hulkette, who has previously only appeared on a New Champions variant cover. They're creating a whole Sidekick Avengers, apparently.
“You’ll get a chance to meet Hul

Before Grimjack, before Starslayer, Timothy Truman worked for TSR on a variety of RPG-related projects, including "Daral of Gondwane" by the great Gardner Fox, surely one of his last stories. Other stories include "Braskan Gambit" and "Starmerchant,"

There is a certain cachet among fans somewhat older than I being able to say that their first issue of Fantastic Four was #1.
I have always been... pleased that my first issue was #126.
It is also the issue which leads off Fantastic Four Omnibus Vol. 5

Just bringing this discussion over to ning... What books are you reading right now that don't have a narrative driven by images as well as words?
Read more…Your Favorite Things of the Year! (Est. 2017)
In previous years, this was a memory box so we didn't miss any good nominations for the Cappies. With the Cappies hypertimed away, that doesn't mean we have to discontinue these threads. I've always liked going back at the end of the year and seeing
