Most embarrassing comics moments
I offer the time Jeph Loeb revealed that the Parasite has kidnapped Lois Lane, meaning Superman had been sleeping with a purple blob for weeks. So much for his special senses . . .

Home Brewing
My brother and I are seriously thinking about doing some home brewing. I think we are going to borrow the equipment from a friend first to see how we like it before we invest in equipment of our own. I've been reading up on it and I think it could be

Grimjack: The Manx Cat- !@#$
Why did John Ostrander feel the need to include several of George Carlin's Seven Dirty Words in this comic? Now I have to move it to the Mature Readers section. Other than that, it was awesome!

JSA: Why'd they split up?
I haven't been reading the books since Johns left, so I'm curious: Why did the JSA split into two groups? Was it the standard Outsiders/Cry For Justice rationale: "You're not proactive enough, so we're striking out on our own," or is there a differen

Other languages in English-language comics
I just read Cars: Radiator Springs #3 to Alex as his bedtime story. Well, I read it but I didn't understand half of it. I understood the English half just fine. It was the half in Italian that left me mostly clueless. Yep, this comic aimed at kids--A

From Newsarama today:
Chabon: My 6-year-old loves it, my 8-year-old loves it, my 12-year-old loves it, my 15-year-old loves it, my wife loves it, I love it ... everybody loves it! It’s not necessarily a case where we all find the same things about it

Things I 'learnt' from comic books
Back in the Sixties, when the Superman Family were forever meeting/romancing doubles of themselves, I remember editor Mort Weisinger's lettercol telling us more than once that everyone on Earth has 17 doubles (so how many must there be across the uni

Deathlok Masterworks
I didn’t think I was in the mood to read a Deathlok Masterworks… until I started to flip through it! I didn’t read Deathlok’s run in Astonishing Tales when it was new; it was one of those series I picked up on the cheap in college rather than, y’know

Infinity War, Infinity Gauntlet, ad infinitum
These are the type of epic, multi-crossover events that drove me from comics in the mid-1980s, but when I stumbled upon the complete six issue run of "Infinity War" for 25 cents each I couldn't resist. And while I probably wouldn't read it again, I r

Spider-Man: The Gauntlet
I just saw a preview of "The Gauntlet" at Newsarama. It's the new storyline in Amazing Spider-Man, and I've got no idea how long it'll last -- or how long even the first chapter of it, dealing with Electro and written by Mark Waid, will last. Anyone
