Luis Olavo de Moura Dantas replied to ClarkKent_DC's discussion Dark Horse Entertainment pushes out founder Mike Richardson
"There is precedent, but I don't think it is encouraging.  Acclaim once bought Valiant in the mid-1990s.  It was, frankly, devastating."

Eric noted the same thing below, my friend---and you're both right.  While I decry many of the social changes that have occurred in the last seventy years, one element for which I am so grateful is the medical advancements. …"

ClarkKent_DC replied to Jeff of Earth-J's discussion The Twilight Zone (IDW)
"I actually liked this one more than the others. The art at least was competent. It bothered me that the naval officer had a Van Dyke beard (it's not a goatee, although people often mistakenly call it that), but it bothered me more -- in sympathy…"

"I am just seeing this, and I am gobsmacked. I don't want to say "Welcome to the club" because it's not a club one wishes to join, although the membership is dismayingly large.
Richard is right; the advances in medical science mean more options and…"

"DC war comics fan that I am, of course I HAD to get the Sgt. Rock volume. Interesting that after years of mislabeling his first appearance as Our Army at War #81 (April 1959), this volume is calling his first appearance G.I. Combat #68 (January…"

ClarkKent_DC replied to Jeff of Earth-J's discussion Catwoman: Nine Lives of a Feline Fatale
"I never read this run of Catwoman, save for the occasional single issue picked up from the dollar bin. I understand that for much of Jim Balent's time as the artist, there was a running gag where there would be at least one cat, if not more, on each…"

ClarkKent_DC replied to Jeff of Earth-J's discussion The Twilight Zone (IDW)
"I missed the first issue of this series, but have been able to get the others. It's a decent approximation of the Twilight Zone spirit -- good call in making the comics black-and-white -- but the art ranges from mediocre to amateurish. I'd recommend…"

"I've only seen "Goodbye, Farewell and Amen" once, the night it originally aired. I started watching M*A*S*H about halfway into its run; I've seen many (not most) of the earlier episodes during that run and since. I don't know how well it holds up. I…"
