"There is a fourth volume, separate but equal, a companion to the Morris trilogy, by Hope Nicholson: The Spectactular Sisterhood of Superwomen (Awesome Female characters from Comic Book History).
The Nicholson book is a bit more scholarly (just a…"
"Somebody really missed the late 90s with the return of both the Secret and the android Hourman (which modesty forbids me saying who might have had some LOC printed in his book!)."
"Would it shock you to know that Morris includes the Red Bee? In fact, he's featured on the table of contents page!
What did shock me that in the Golden Age section, he included Doll Man, Kid Eternity and Moon Girl!"
"Same! I’d think if you were re-writing the Golden Age (again), which they are, Red Bee is one of those things you’d just quietly omit. But Roy Thomas, in All-Star Squadron, and Geoff Johns, in Lost Children, have gone out of their way to preserve…"
"STARGIRL: THE LOST CHILDREN #4 April 2023
"Chapter 4: Losing Track of Time" By Geoff Johns and Todd Nauck (20 pages)
Corky explains some of the timey-wimey stuff going on, but he's not a reliable narrator. Plus, there's a lot of technobabble that…"
"...one of the stupidest superheroes of the Golden Age (and that’s a pretty high bar).
This is off-topic, but I'd never miss the opportunity to promote Craig Yoe's two volumes of Super-Weird Heroes. Recommended!
"Why they felt the Red Bee and Miss America needed sidekicks is beyond me!
Same! I’d think if you were re-writing the Golden Age (again), which they are, Red Bee is one of those things you’d just quietly omit. But Roy Thomas, in All-Star Squadron,…"
I really don't have that much to say about the new "Golden Age" sidekicks. They are diversity characters and thy're fine in both that role and as retcon additions to classic characters. though why they felt the Red…"
"I had completely forgotten about that "future Huntress" stuff until I read your summaries.
Just out of curiosity, I consulted the New History (of the DCU). Huntress first appears circa "The Killing Joke" and "A Death in the Family": "In an attempt…"
"Sgt. Rock, who was killed by the last wartime bullet fired in the ETO.
I don't think this is true, I don't think it has ever been true, but I know the rumor persists. By now it's been repeated so often that, like Hal Jordan wiping out the entire GLC…"

STARGIRL: THE LOST CHILDREN #3 March 2023
"Chapter 3: The Childminder" By Geoff Johns and Todd Nauck (20 pages)
Stargirl is taken to "Hangman's Tree," where all the lost children hang out. (It looks like a cave to me.) Meanwhile, Emiko meets the…"
"I read the '50s Cap revival stories off the spinner rack in the '70s, but couldn't tell you if I had known beforehand of a '50s Cap. If there were reprints by then, I would have known. If not ... well there wasn't an Internet in 1972."
"When did WING become a kid?
When they needed him to be to fit the premise of this book.
I’m not being snarky (much). That seems to be the honest truth. As Travis Lee’s chauffeur he’d have to be at least old enough to drive, and probably older. In…"
The Arrow Cave is an OSHA nightmare! No fences or handrails, uneven surfaces and a river running right through it!
Odd that except for statues of Green Lantern and Black Canary, there is no representation for either…"
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.

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)?

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.
