"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…"
"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…"
"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…"
Hey, are any of you guys in the Boston/Providence, R.I. area? I'm going there for a conference during the week of February 15-21, and I'd like to connect with a fellow Legionnaire while I'm there.In any event, I'm sure to be looking for some comics…
"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…"
"I saw Secret Mall Apartment. It was entertaining, but it inescapably was a depiction of White Privilege. Our protagonists think of themselves as performance artists and not as burglars, squatters, and lawbreakers, and (barely) acknowledge that if…"
"The first six months of Johnny Carson's run hosting The Tonight Show are missing for this very reason."
"I didn't see this when it was posted and was just made aware of it yesterday. I found the eulogy for Emerkieth Davyjack on Facebook from his friend and was startled at the array of medical issues he was coping with. (I've always thought it unfair on…"
"I actually remember The New Odd Couple. It was an interesting experiment, but I think it would have been a LOT better if they had leaned into what made it different with two Black men as the leads. They did not. They even went so far as to recycle…"
"For some people I can, for some people I can't. I can with, say, Michael Jackson and Bill Cosby, although with Cosby it gets more difficult to do so every single day. I can't with Ted Nugent."
"I don't know why Chariots of the Gods was such a big deal when I was a kid. The notion that aliens were the builders of such things as the Mayan pyramids -- and not actual Mayans -- is fundamentally racist. But instead of being laughed off the stage…"
"I remember Catherine O'Hara best from SCTV, and never saw Beetlejuice. But there's a generation that would remember her best from the first and second Home Alone movies (which I have seen) and another generation that would know her best…"
"God, I wish they had actually done that crossover!"
"I'm for honoring him as soon as possible. He's not exactly a legend, but he has had a prodigious output with long runs on The Incredible Hulk, The Defenders, Marvel Team-Up and The Avengers. He's probably drawn every Marvel superhero at one time or…"
"Between Sal Buscema's long runs on The Incredible Hulk, The Avengers, The Defenders, Captain America, Thor and Marvel Team-Up, not to mention guest and fill-in work on other books, like the Howard the Duck Marvel Treasury Edition, it's fair to say…"
"When I started reading new comics in earnest, Ross Andru and Mike Esposito were the regular art team on Amazing Spider-Man, and I thought they were terrible! Especially so when, through the magic of reprints, I saw the work of John Romita and Gil…"

Thanks for having me….the site is great and brings back many great memories.
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!
Another church with almost the same name apparently did something similar in Cambridge, Ontario:

(Sorry. My original post had the wrong link
The church is Wesley-Knox United Church in London, Ontario. They drew a sizable crowd to Chaney's Phantom.
I have some links below. You'd have to contact them for further information:
