"While Firestorm recovered from the DC Implosion, Steel did not until he was transplanted into All Star Squadron, perhaps as a favor to Gerry Conway, the writing partner of Roy Thomas, even though there already was the very similar Robotman!

"HAWKGIRL: it doesn't bother me that they had her in costume earlier because Shiera Sanders had the same origin as Hawkman. She wasn't like Joan Williams or Doris Lee. She already was special. And in Flash Comics #1, Hawkman had prepared a Ninth…"
"It's a stretch, but there was a 1979 Chuck Connors picture called "Day of the Assassin"."

"I was wondering more whether there was a physical reason, such as Mr. Elyea suggests.
I don't remember one specifically, but I wasn't looking for it. There might be a line in All-Star Squadron #41 (origin of Starman), or almost anywhere in James…"

"Throughout the series, one phrase is never used: "WONDER WOMAN". And I don't understand why. Was this her first public appearance? It would have been the perfect time to create a backstory for Hippolyta, why she's in Man's World, does she have…"
"Maybe he just didn't have the money to do it on his own.

"On Friday, I received my copy of JSA: Year One and have read it several times and went back through this thread to read the Captain's reviews so I don't just reiterate his commentary.

"My guess would be that the Gravity Rod (and the various Cosmic Rods and Star Scepters that succeeded it) required some incredibly rare elements to function, so it took decades to achieve enough to make the handful of devices that we've seen so far."

"This popped up as a suggestion on my pull list before I saw it on Cap’s Aug 12 “coming list.” Being from Mark Waid was good enough for me. Unlike most of the comics I’m still buying*, the comments from you and Cap convinced me to actually read part…"
"I was thinking more about the reaction of his fellow students. He got enough grief just for being short, being a runt who either washed out or chickened out would have made that much worse. I knew the college would be more than happy to keep…"
"As would knowing that aliens are on earth, magic actually works, and there's fabric so stretchy that Plastic Man, Mr. Fantastic, and Bruce Banner can wear it. Not to mention the Speed Force, the Negative Zone, Gorilla City, Cat People.... We all…"

I have one scheduled for week after next. What's up?
Are you going to write an article on the show Cloak & Dagger, which debuts June 7 on the Freeform cable channel (formerly ABC Family)?
After all these years, that's all I get, "Welcome aboard" ? Geez, it's not like I've only know you longer than any human on this planet outside my siblings. Seriously, I hope all is well. Speaking of siblings, how's Clyde, Bethany and Persilla (sp?)? Hal, Randy and Karen (mine) are still alive and kicking. I hope you're doing OK. My life has been eventful, good and bad. You must be in hog heaven with all the movies finally able to match people's imagination with the CGI and all. Every time I go to one or read a comic, I can't help but think of you, old friend. Yes, you're living rent free in my skull. Stop it. Stop it now...damn, didn't work. I live in Charleston, SC. Great place. Come visit...or else...

Hulk now part of army of Hulks. A-Bomb, Red-Hulk, She-Hulk, Red She-Hulk, Paisley She-Hulk, Hulkcetera. Hulk in big-budget movies. Hulk on red carpets. Hulk's introversion clearly a ploy to get attention.
Hulk still not sure about this social media stuff, kinda defeats the whole purpose of being an introvert, if you ask Hulk...
Just received a spam message on my profile page from someone named Frank David asking me to invest in his gold mining business.
