"Here’s the first lineup change, only four issues in! The Flash had just achieved his own title (All-Flash), so he's reduced in this issue to Honorary Member.
All my life I have been told that the Justice Society of America is the pre-eminent…"
The only issue of Gotham Knights I ever bought was #11, and I bought that for the "Batman: Black & White" back-up feature. I never really even looked at the main story, nor had I ever intended to, but it features Catwoman on…"
"DETECTIVE COMICS #363 - "The True-False Face of Batman!"
The first Batgirl story I ever read was "Surprise! This'll Kill You!" from Detective Comics #388 (1969); the second, "The True-False Face of Batman!" was the second ever, from Detective…"
"Oh, yes, I see. It's like a "language" option on a sub-menu, but the main menu already specifies "English."
Once again, Tracy cut to the heart of the matter. When I asked, "Should we watch it in English or Japanese?" (this was before I realized…"
"I always try to maintain a clear differentiation between creators (such as Scott Adams, Neil Gaiman, Frank Miller) and their creations. The same holds true with actors (Charlton Heston, Clint Eastwood, Bill Cosby) and their roles."
"I'll tell you what I remember liking most about Prelude. As Hari Seldon was fleeing across Trantor and encountering diverse society after society, it occurred to me that any one of them, all of them, could have been the basis for a science fictional…"
"i haven't watched through Ultraman USA yet - it's in Japanese, but doesn't seem to have subtitles - but what I have seen doesn't seem to have any major differences."
"Ultraman USA (1987) wasn't yet available when I was working my way through 1980s Ultra-series. I hadn't realized it was animated. If I had, I probably would have skipped over it until I finished all the live action series (which I have now done), as…"
"Yeah, it's too bad he was revealed to be such a horse's neck later in life. In addition to a slipcased set of his Dilbert work, I also have his three books, The Dilbert Principle*, The Dilbert Future** and The Joy of Work***.
*(A Cubicle's-Eye View…"
"Ultraman: The Adventure Begins (a.k.a Ultraman USA) Reactions (SPOILERS)
This was made by Hanna-Barbera in association with Tsuburaya Productions. The animation is good, but not great, about at the level of a reasonably well-made Saturday morning…"
"Batgirl may be one of the early, most notable stories of a character being allowed to grow and change organically - even if much of it involved her getting subtly younger along time, in a very gradual drift towards becoming Dick Grayson's love…"
"But then I made you endure it by proxy!
...and yet, I'm about to do you a favor. I suggest you read "Guardian," the "Batman Black & White" back-up from Gotham Knights #10 ASAP... not for this discussion, but to help remove the residue of the…"
Another story that takes place early in Batman's career (when James Gordon was still captain). It mixes up Batman, Catwoman, Scarecrow and Hugo Strange. Excellent on all levels. "
"Not essential but the two prequels that Jeff mentioned are worth reading if anyone wants more Foundation.
No one has yet specifically mentioned Asimov's own 1980s continuation of the original Foundation trilogy, Foundation's Edge and Foundation and…"
"Out of the super-star studded firmament of Gotham City, where Batman and Robin shine supreme as masked manhunters -- bursts a brand-new luminary -- Batgirl! And like that very Batman after whom she models herself -- she too battles crime and…
Jeff, I want to thank you and Tracy for the well-wishes you have given me, just to let you know how touching and thoughtful I think it was. I'm happy to tell you that I'm doing much better and I feel about 99% back to normal. Of course, it's easy to recuperate when all I have to think about is getting better while Adam takes every other burden upon himself. Here on Earth-B he has the reputation of being rather a cranky old cuss, but I know he's as sweet as a puppy! Tell him I said that and I'll blame it on the stroke.
Thank you again, Jeff, for thinking of me and do, please, pass my thanks and best wishes on to Tracy.
Happy new year!
Cheryl
PS: Re: the puppy comment--yes, I know this will be publicly on your wall, but I'm betting Himself never pays attention to these. Also, there may be a better way to message you but I don't see anything else.
