"Maybe Richard was there for Fantastic Four #1, but not my brother or me. He bought issue #14 ("The Sub-Mariner Strikes!") and didn't buy another until #20 (or traded or lost the others) and had most (but not all) through issue #51. Those are the…"
"Now I remember that story! And hated it. Yeah, I don't know what the technical term is for what Teacher did to Misty, but I call it rape.
So I wrote it off in my head canon. I had various justifications at the time:
"What's infamous about DC Super-Stars #12? It was almost 50 years ago, so it was probably kinda dumb. Might have had some nice Curt Swan or Kurt Schaffenberger art. "

"Thanks for the research, Luis. Looking at those covers, I saw the Kirby Krackle on Cover E and realized how much less I see that now than I used to. At one point, just about every working artist used it. It was the just the standard way energy was…"
"I wish they had used Mickey or even Donald instead of Scrooge in the "What if Minie became Captain Marvel" cover homage (cover B) to Ms.Marvel #1. In the original Peter Parker is there. There was another homage to the same cover in #10 of the 2014…"
"ABSOLUTE JUSTICE HC: Any comments, Legionnaires?
I don't remember much about it either, but I do recall that it was purty but lightweight, an obvious labor of love, but someone else's, not mine.
ABSOLUTE JUSTICE HC - I remember thinking it was fine,…"
"The Penguin series owes so much to The Sopranos that it's basically a sequel. That being said, I loved The Sopranos and I love The Penguin. We know the outlines of Oswald Cobb's rise to infamy, but it's incredible how the makeup turns Colin Farrell…"
"I've wanted for a long time a thread that takes each episode of the original Twilight Zone series, one by one, and breaks them down. Then Night Gallery. Then Peele's Twilight Zone series. And so forth. All in one place, all of us discussing at the…"
"That concept has occurred to me already, as my own passing becomes more imminent. There are people and places that ONLY exist in my memory, and when I'm gone, they're gone. That thought really disturbs me. "
"AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #262 FACSIMILE EDITION - I could be wrong, but you can probably find the original in a back issue bin cheaper than $4.99. I certainly did.
ABSOLUTE JUSTICE HC - I remember thinking it was fine, but forgetable. For me it was also…"
"FANTASTIC FOUR OMNIBUS VOL 5: Jeff P. says this lines up perfectly with the first 15 volumes of Marvel Masterworks: Fantastic Four
Not only that, but v6 (collecting #164-203 et al, solicited for June 2025) synchs up exactly with MMW FF v16-18.…"
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.
yes, i was very excited when she told me who her teacher was. I've been following you for years. started way back with your column in the commercial appeal. she laughed at how excited i was.
i'm happy that she is such a good student, tell her hello for me.

I have one scheduled for week after next. What's up?

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.
