"It was a jolt to see Sue describe herself as the leader; she hasn't been. She HAS had some insane upgrades to her abilites in the current (just concluded series, since they are starting over with an unnecessary #1 issue). One I'm pleased with is she…"
" I have an original paperback copy of the Batman volume -- originally titled The Encyclopedia of Comic Book Heroes, Volume 1: Batman -- and read through it so frequently I nearly have it memorized. I wore it out, and bought another original…"
"Hey, there -- if you aren't looking at my Caring Bridge page (and why aren't you?). there's a major update: I have completed the 12 chemotherapy-with-immunotherapy infusion sessions. In a couple of weeks I will have a PET scan with CT scan to…"
"So did I. I enjoyed both immensely. Irredeemable posits What if Superman went off his rocker?
Incorruptible takes the flip side of that equation: What if a villain truly and fully went straight?"

"I came into comics too late to have seen those Legion of Super Heroes stories Jim Shooter wrote, but I marvel (heh) at his ingenuity in finding a way to get his ideas over to the people at DC, and at their being astute enough to recognize his…"
"The point is that if people bring their children in public, they should make them behave, or leave the premises."
"No, but it's been a long time since I've read those issues. (LIke, I forgot Shang-Chi's mother was in the first story!)
So give us the deets, please."
So give us the deets, please."
"I stand corrected. Thank you, Phillip. Still, Shang-Chi's mother (who, so far as I know, was never given a name) appeared only twice in 10 years, and 143 issues apart. So she was hardly a major player in the series.
But declaring a white American…"

" I got turned on to Master of Kung Fu early on, although not from issue one -- or, rather, Special Marvel Edition #15. Still, I acquired the early issues from a comics shop I used to frequent that had a great stock of back issues. I have all of the…"
"I always thought Bob Haney had the right approach to contiunity when hw wrote for The Brave and the Bold: He ignored it. Batman teams up with Sgt. Rock in World War II? Um ... okay? Batman teams up with Wildcat in the present day? Um .... why…"

"I am so stunned by how wrong-headed the implementation of this character was, starting with the name "Extraño," which is Spanish for "strange." Then they load him down with a boatload of gay stereotypes. It's like they were trying to be as offensive…"

Thank you ClarkKent, I look forward to the future.
Thanks, ClarkKent_DC I am very excited to be here. I just found you by chance googling some comic related stuff and it seemed like a really good crew chatting on here. Looking forward to catching up with everyone!
