This series of one-shots is collectively known as "Theater of War," not "Theater of World War II." This particular story, set during the war in Iraq, is beyond the scope of this discussion, but I recall a vigourous…"
"I found these comments from Paul Jenkins about "Ghosts of My Country" online:
“That one to me is by far the most special. It’s my love letter to Captain America. Without giving away too much, it’s about what Captain America must really be. When we…"
"ACTION COMICS #419 FACSIMILE EDITION: First Human Target.
Oh, is that what it is? (I was wondering.) I was planning to buy it anyway because I don't have that one.
I read the main story because "Swanderson" is one era DC steadfastly refuses to…"
At Haneda Airport, a plane crashes in an odd way, and the airport is suddenly frozen over.
Yuriko is doing a story about tourists visitoing Tokyo, when she meets a kid whose father has gone missing.
Ippei and Jun discuss…"
"(This reminds me of the Quabbin Reservoir in central Massachusetts, where four towns were flooded when it was made.)
Swamp Thing #38-39, by Alan Moore, is set in an underwater vampire town (flooded in #3). It's one of the best vampire stories in…"
"The Demon's first non-Kirby appearance was The Brave and the Bold #109 by Bob Haney and Jim Aparo, released between The Demon #13 and #14, which is where the editor slotted it in this collection. I understand why he did it, but it breaks up the…"
"Too many to choose! Seriously, if you haven't been to your LCS in a while, this'd be a great week to go. I couldn't even find a parking space in the front row, whihc has happened maybe once before. It was like Superman died again. My retailer…"
"The "Artifact Edition" includes pages from Star Wars #1-10 (by Roy Thomas and Howard Chaykin), #16 (by Archie Goodwin and Walt Simonson), and #38 (by Archie Goodwin and Michael Golden). Thomas's stories weren't bad, but I had forgotten that he tried…"
A boy sees an unusually light meteorite fall to earth. He brings it to his teachers, who eventually bring it to the attention of Professor Mustache, who says it is an unearthly alloy. Meanwhile, there is worldwide radio…"
Back in the days when movies were "held over" in big cities and those of us who lived in small towns had to wait seemingly forever to see them, I would routinely buy the paperback novelizations, but hold off on reading the final chapter(s). That was…
"Oh, God, there's gonna be a "Kenny" in this episode, isn't there?
Oh, he's not so bad.
He names it "Kuro", which is Japanese for "Black".
As he himself points out, "That's an odd name for a white bird."
He identifies the bird as "Larugeus", a…"
""Warriors... come to play-ee-ay." (clink-clink-clink) That's all I remember about it.
I saw Bonnie and Clyde come up on TCM last week and almost snagged it. (I've seen it before.)"
"#497: This issue's "novel-length" opus is just ten pages long; it is, however, continued in the next issue. Intro: Doreen Gray.
#498: Eight pages this time...

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.
