The WWI flying ace fades into the background as Peppermint Patty and Woodstock move to the fore. Marcie enters in 1974, and Rerun makes a single Sunday appearance in this volume. I am now exactly halfway through…"
"I'm still not through with this book -- the stories are so short, but you really can't read more than two at a time! -- but I've gotten to the longer stories in the Showcase issues. And I have to say... I prefer the short kiddie stuff. For one…"
"Next up in my proposed "alternate continuity" is the Dark Shadows comic strip. Although the Gold Key comic book series long outlasted the comic strip version, the somewhat more sophisticated newspaper version started later so I'm slotting it in…"
"THE TOWERING TERROR: "The kaiju Irugo breaks through the ground and surfaces. The gasses exhaled from its mouth are poisoning the human body. SKaRD is order by CP to halt all investigation of Irugo and to standby for further orders. Emi thinks this…"
"Headmistress" - This one was just okay. It had a twist, but nothing memorable.
"What You Wish For" - A retelling of Cinderella, except instead of a fairy godmother, Ella's wish is granted by an evil witch. I could kind of tell where this…"
"I was suposed to have read the initial Absolute Wonder Woman storyline last week, but obviously that didn't happen. Instead...
ABSOLUTE GREEN LANTERN #1: Let's see... Hal Jordan? Check. John Stewart? Check. Guy Gardner? Check. Jo Mullein? Check.…"
"JIMMY OLSEN'S SUPERCYCLOPEDIA TP: Say what, now? How come I haven't heard word one about this? And when did Jimmy Olsen turn Black?
Flipped through this today. It's a digest-size YA graphic novel aimed at young readers. "
"I bought the DCF Peacemaker today. I am primarily interested in the original Charlton material from the '60s (about 18% of the page count); the more recent stuff, not so much ("recent" being a relative terms meaning 30-40 years ago). Let's face it:…"
"It turns out that it's episode 1104 that's a wrap for Mrs. Johnson
Is it? Hmm... Well, 1106 is the last we'll see of willie Loomis. (I told you not to get too attached to him.) We'll see more of John Karlen, and Thayer David as well, but no more of…"
"A few more episodes now: I've seen through episode 1106. It turns out that it's episode 1104 that's a wrap for Mrs. Johnson; she's knocked unconscious and left unceremoniously on the rug in Maggie's room for eternity. These shows shift the plot away…"
"Oh, I thought we'd eventually get a reason for his sudden trip to Europe! I guess I was expecting too much. I'll be sorry to see Stokes go. But Hallie? Good riddance! "
"When I first joined this conversation it was with the intention of reading The Bible alongside Asimov's Guide to The Bible one book at a time. That quickly became one chapter at a time, which involved a huge ammount of exhausting research. (I just…"
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
