Fan of Bronze: Same Mother, Different Publishers
Kid Eternity was a big star over at Quality Comics during the 40s, being featured in Hit Comics #25-60 (D'42-S'49) and 18 issues of his own titles (Spr'46-N'49). A good career in anyone's eyes. In fact, based on popularity and longevity, he should ha
Read more…Weird War Stories One-Shot
The art was good through-out. "Armistice Night" made me laugh out loud, which very few comics manage to do. "The Hell Above Us" and "Private Parker Sees Thunder Lizards" were OK but weren't especially distinctive from any number of similar stories
Read more…Buffy the Vampire Slayer (Seasons Six through "Eight")
This is a continuation of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer thread I started over on the “old board” last April. Alan and Mike convinced me that the show’s move from the WB to the UPN and the start of season six is a logical time to move this discussion t

You get my thoughts before I head out to my D&D game:
- I might actually get this turned in on time by Due Date on the front of the order form.
- Dave Lapham on King Kull interests me enough to buy it.
- I am confused about the Neil Gaiman autobiographical
K-9? Is that you?
Saw this in my local grocery store. Obviously someone is a Dr. Who fan:

So I just finished Neil Young's Greendale, with script by Josh Dysart and art by the amazing Cliff Chiang, and... well, the art is by the amazing Cliff Chiang!
The art is gorgeous. Gorgeous! Here's a page:

Comics for the week of September 1, 2010...thoughts
Veronica - The big Kevin Keller story hits the stands and it's actually cool and funny. A scene where Veronica believes she's lost a boy to, of all people, Jughead is priceless.
Hellboy - OK, Mr. Mignola...ending a mini-series like that is u

Dark Horse - Two issues of Usagi Yojimbo this month! It's such a great book and should have a lot more readers. The Hellboy Double Feature of Evil one-shot and the fourth issue of Baltimore: Plague Ships are on the list.

Comics for the week of August 25, 2010...thoughts...
Superman - Secret Origin #6 - Not a lot of really new stuff, but some beautiful art and a nice tribute to Chris Reeve.
Batman #702 - I love the idea of the original bullet...the one all other bullets come from...and it can kill gods. It left a Dar

Part One - The Hole in Things.
SPOILERISH

I had wondered before this came out whether these two issues filled a genuine gap in Morrison's epic Bat-narrative - one that Morrison

I didn't know exactly where to put this one -- it could just as well go into General Comics Discussions, General NON-Comics Discussions or In-Depth Comics Discussions -- but, anyway, here is a fine set of business cards for some of our favorite corp

The past weekend there was the Dallas Comic Con, and I managed to make it out there. Their headliner guest for this event was Edward James Olmos. He was only there Saturday, and I never saw the guy once. Not too surprising, since the celebrity guests
