Didn't know what to expect from this new series. Different publishers have tried to bring back The Twilight Zone as a comic book series from time to time, but the results have never been all that impressive (to me), even with names such as Harlan Ell
I have never been a Hal Jordan guy and I certainly never had time for Guy but the hype for the Lanterns show, my respect for John Stewart, and my reasonable nostaglia for the Justice League animated show (it was really good) have me going back to rea
I bought Gotham City Cocktails because we have a bottle of locally made bourbon that we have been sampling called Blue Note. I say "sampling" in that we didn't drink any (we're not hard-liquor drinkers very much) until we binged Deadwood. In the cour
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
I started reading Swamp Thing from the very beginning... sort of. When I was a kid, I liked superhero comics and not much else (no western, no war, etc.). I also gravitated toward Marvel, so Swamp Thing had two strikes against it right out of the gat
Captain America was "put on ice" (retroactively) in 1945 and rescued by the Avengers in 1964. Man Out of Time (2010) had him being revived in the mid-to-late '90s, and "Our Secret Wars" (2025) in the early 2Ks. But there was an earlier version, from
SERIES PREMIERE 1979. Leila, a 19-year-old Pakistani-Canadian girl, stands on the cusp of adulthood, eager to experience the “real world” for the first time
O.K., pencils down . . . both of you. That's because, this time around, only Eric Sofer and Fraser Sherman took a shot at answering the quiz questions. Which is a first. Usually, I see so many folks submit their answers that, when it's time for me
As is my usual habit, here’s something off-topic to function as SPOILER SPACE. The pictured fellow is the late, great Richard Kiel (at one point, he was one of Hollywood’s go-to guys when they needed a really large, imposing guy who didn’t need to b
DC FINEST: GREEN LANTERN — HARD-TRAVELING HEROES TP: Collects Green Lantern stories published between July 1968 and March 1971 from the pages of GREEN LANTERN #62-82, THE FLASH #191, and WORLD'S FINEST COMICS #201. I've said before that an
I've always felt blessed at the good fortune of my senior years. A wonderful wife of thirty-three years. Financial security. Good health. Matinée-idol good looks. (O.K., maybe not that, heh.) I've been particularly smug over my good health. SI
1)This story is credited to "David Agnew". This time out, "David Agnew" stands for "David Fisher, almost completely re-written by Douglas Adams and Graham Williams". One can certainly sense Adams' input to this, particularly in the dialogue. Suppos
Last summer I mentioned that I was working on a different type of Silver-Age challenge, one that I would present in a different format. I worked toward that, but got overcome by life events, as those of you who've read my personal posts can imagine.
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

SUPERMAN RETURNS IN THIS LANDMARK ISSUE! Written by Mark Waid, Joshua Williamson, Sophie Campbell and Dan Slott Art by Skylar Patridge, Ryan Sook, Daniel Sampere, Dan Mora and Luca
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
