"I can't recommend these, at least not as serious reference material. The Superman one is filled with errors, and I have to assume the other two are as well. I discovered this when I was writing for CBR and was doing a story on Superboy's first…"
"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?

"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.

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!
