Shinjiro is at Arashi’s place. Arashi says, “That was Yuriko on the phone”, to which Shinjiro says, “You know my mother too?”. So maybe his Mom is Fuji’s twin, Yuriko Edogawa? Arashi reveals that Hayata asked him to speak to…"
"This was my introduction to The Nice House on the Lake, and it seemed like just that, the leadoff to the story. A mysterious benefactor brings together a motley group of twenty- and thirtysomethings to the title property, and while they are there, a…"
"I went to a sister store to the place I visited yesterday (they're part of a local chain of four stores). Like the other one, it had lots of books and placed no limit on how many titles you could have, just one copy from each. So I got:
"QUEEN OF OUTER SPACE: Filmed in 1958, set in 1985. Astronauts find Venus populated by "Amazon" women. Starring Zsa Zsa Gabor. Tracy says we've seen it before, but I have no memory of it whatsoever. I believe her, though, because she was able to…"
"I like that part of the story is set in another American city, this time San Francisco. Valky seems to be an original character, not one from any of the TV series. I thought the same thing about "Mephisto" as well, until he was revealed to be…"
""Go ahead. Make my lunch."

"I know what you're thinking. 'Will he purr or scratch?' Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement, I've kinda lost track myself. But being these are retractable, keratin claws, sharpened on the tree in the…"
"I saw Blackboard Jungle a while back. My interest in it is that it's based on the novel of the same name by Evan Hunter, which was inspired by his three-week stint as a substitute teacher in an inner-city New York high school.
That and Evan Hunter…"
"I was going to say you guys made out like bandits. I got to my friendly neighborhood comics store mid-afternoon (I went to a funeral in the morning, and then lunch), and most of what remained of the Free Comic Book Day / Comics Give Away Day…"
"Is there any reason that three publishers went belly up more or less simultaneously in early 1942, beyond coincidence?
I think that it's possible that it's coincidence. I've always had the impression that a lot of those early comics publishers were…"
"Volume Eighteen
The battle from the last volume continues. Shinjiro’s suit is out of energy. Valky convinces Temperor to withdraw. We learn that when the Planet of Light was “contained”, the original Ultraman escaped by transforming into pure energy…"
HI, I think I have unboxed you but...I am coming to the end of my `INVADERS` thread and would like to do a similar issue-by-issue critique of the Avengers - but not wanting to step on your "Baron 're-reads" early Avengers thread - I was thinking of beginning from #150 -? Would that be okay with you?
Hi Mr Baron sir,
I was wondering - I have just about 'caught-up' with my 'INVADERS' thread - going issue by issue through their history - and I'm scrambling looking for another series with which to critique in the same vein.
I am very aware of your 're-reads' and the recent 'Avengers' issues you've covered.
Unless you have any great desire to do so yourself or any objection at all -- I would like to take up the Avengers as a series from about #150 onwards...?
I reckon by then the earliest stuff - Kaps Kooky Quartet - Vision - Squadron supreme - KreeSkrull war - Avengers-Defenders war - even the Celestial madonna stuff is all over and the team and the title kind of entered a new phase that I'd love to pick up from.
If you DID intend on covering those issues etc I would of course quite happily go find some other series to wax lyrical about.
I do think the 'early Avengers' and this later phase could even run alongside quite easily as threads?
I don't mind. I usually tell people it's proncounced marconnay. When explaining it to people I tell them it's mark an A, like when you tell your teacher to "Mark an A on your test"

Anyway, how would you feel?
Please be candid.
Thanks

Gah! So much Tartan!
Anyway, this time-wasting web page mentions two of your favourite things, so I thought I'd share.
