My goal had been to read through Marvel's Conan the Barbarian #57, but because Dark Horse's The Chronicles of Conan v7 goes through #59, I went a bit beyond. The reason I chose #57 as a stopping point is because #58 is the point at which…"
"A while back, rooting through the dollar bin, I came across MAD #1. Not, of course, the holy grail MAD from October-November 1952 -- I could never be THAT lucky -- but the relaunch from 2018 (on April Fool's Day, natch, although cover-dated June…"
"I forgot I already posted my "Celestial Theory" back in 2024. I had also forgotten that the Celestials also appeared on the Skrull world Tarakar in 1987 (Silver Surfer #4). "
"Pangoria is the first time we've seen the Celestials render final judgement against a specific planet, and the results are not what you might expect.
Everyone on the planet is given a good spanking and sent to bed without supper."
In Thor #387, Thor finds himself on Pangoria, a planet which the Celestials have just rendered judgement against. The Celestials first appeared on Earth (from our perspective) in The Eternals #2 (Aug…"
Still scratching my "Eternals" itch. Those of you who follow the "Marvel Epic Collections" discussion may have expected me to post about this here sooner rather than later. In X-Factor #43, the team was…"
I just finished reading The Chronicles of Conan v7 (reprinting #43-51), so I'm just six issues shy of my goal. Volume 7 has been the least interesting to me so far. Roy thomas hismelf said: "Essentially, I suppose, the stories in this…"
I was not interested in this series at all when it came out in 2003. I did not buy it and I did not read it. First of all, it's a "MAX" title, which places it out of [what we now refer to laughingly as] continuity. Second, it's written…"
"LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES:
After reading All-New Collectors' Edition C-55, I decided to go back to the beginning... my beginning, that is, "The Revenge of the Knave from Krypton" from Adventure Comics #320 (which I first read reprinted in Superboy…"
I'm well on the way to my goal of reading through #57. I just finished reading The Chronicles of Conan v6, which takes me through #42. I read the Thomas/Smith stuff a cople of times, but almost none of the Buscema era, and very few of the…"
"I've spent a lazy day reading comics on DCUI -- the latest available issue of Fury of Firestorm, three issues of the new Batwoman series (as always with Rucka, it reads better in chunks), and a Veitch/Alcala Swamp Thing issue that brings me a wee…"
"I can't believe it's been only two years since the last time I read The Eternals, but inspired by Kirby Genesis and the Secret City Saga, I decided to read a somewhat truncated version (i.e., series one #1-12 and series three #1-7). The reason I…"
"Every year for Independence Day I read something patriotic. Usually it's one Captain America story or another, but this year, inspired in part by Alex Ross and Jim Krueger's Project Superpowers, I've decided to read IDW's Super Patriotic Heroes…"
I'm working my way through those Zoids strips myself. I thought I'd read the whole run as the Morrison stuff is right at the end and I wanted all the context.
They're good fun. I think I'm scratching the itch I had as a kid when I couldn't afford those big lumps of colourful plastic that looked so cool in the ads.
Actually I'm downloading them as I just know I'm going to visit that site some day and see that they've been taken down...
If you happen to find out the creative credits for the different episodes and their publishing dates I'd be grateful for the info. I couldn't find them anywhere.
