I’ve got to start reading my solicitations more closely! A couple of months ago, my wife, Tracy of Moon-T (whose symbol is the Moon), asked me about Moon Knight while flipping through the latest Previews catalogue. The new volume reprints the same st
Read more…I am borrowing Travis' idea but I am narrowing the subject matter. I bought a large Batman collection from a friend of mine. I am pulling them out of the box as my friend had them. In the case of a multi-book story line I am going to set the book asi
Read more…I was both pleased and excited to discover that “The Man Who Ended Batman’s Career” (the visual inspiration for the Starman of 1951) from Detective Comics #247 (and reprinted in Batman Annual #4) was reprinted again in the DC Comics Classics Library
Read more…Okay, I have a question about the Red Hulk that's really kind of stupid, but it's just something I'm wondering about. It can't be asked without discussing the identity of the Red Hulk, which I'm assuming everyone knows at this point, but just in case

(Obviously, these will be corrected and updated as the series goes along. Stuff in italics is my commentary.)

Ummm---Interesting?
Issue 50 of the book came out this week, concluding the story that began around the time of 9/11, and ends close to the present day.
SPOILERS TO FOLLOW
I picked up the DVD set for Season Thirteen of The Simpsons, which included Episode DABF13, "I am Furious (Yellow)". The reason I mention it here and not in the TV section is that Stan Lee did a guest voice appearance as himself in that episode, and

If I'm up early enough, I can catch some Angel reruns on TNT. I've probably seen more "Angel" than "Buffy" and I'm a big fan of "Bones". However I'm no Whedon expert and have only scant bits of knowledge so I have some questions.
1) The last episod

Watch it ... it's pretty darn interesting!
Got notice that DC will put out a THUNDER Agents book. Didn't they try that a couple of years ago and it fell through? Did they lease them or outright buy them? And from who?

Hey guys. Long time no see. You've moved on me since I've stopped by. Opening the store in Sept 2006 has put a crimp in my "getting lost on the message boards for hours at a time" time. I need some advice and I know this is the place to get an an

As I was flipping through some "Showcase Presents" volumes, I got to "SP: Batman, Volume 2". With its artwork alternating from Carmine Infantino to *ahem* Bob Kane, it presented suc
