"Sounds like an interesting project.
I remember reading some 1950s comic book with a character named, I think, Vinny Brown, who was a reporter for a paper called The Mudville [or whatever the town was] Sun.
There was a gag wherein some tough guy…"

"DC is charged with strategically integrating its stories and characters across film, television, consumer products, home entertainment, interactive games, and the DC Universe digital subscription service.
Wha'? Good luck doing that."
"I doubt I'll be much help, Cap, but thanks for the update. The new plan sounds like something you could actually finish in our lifetimes!"
"Congratulations on the new editor and new plan, Cap! That sounds MUCH more doable! And frankly, much more fun to read and write!And good luck with the increased schedules, to both of you!"
"Love 'em, Philip! I've got one or two chapters that aren't suggesting anything clever to me. Maybe I can adapt one of yours.
Sorry I've been away from this topic so long. (I see Philip's post is two months old.) There are…"
"I'm in that camp. I'm old enough to remember when the promise of cable TV was that you paid for it and got everything, without commercials. Now you pay for cable TV, pay extra if you don't want commercials, pay extra for specific…"
"The first one I had was Netflix (along with their mailed DVD service). When my wife had extended hospital stays I also subscribed to Hulu and CBS All Access so that we could both catch up with network TV shows when she returned home. I've never…"
Emerkeith Davyjack replied to Captain Comics's discussion 'New Mutants': Good idea, great characters, bad timing"...What streaming service do you have?"
"We'd really like to see Hamilton, but the show will be the same when it finally comes out on DVD (I'm sure it won't be streaming anywhere but Disney+ for years to come). We're used to waiting for movies to either stream on a…"
"I think the logic there was that Hamilton would drive people to sign up for Disney+, because there was HUGE demand to see it and you just can't get it anywhere else.
Mulan is a different case. Hamilton didn't…"
"KENT STATE & THE MUELLER REPORT: Both of these shipped to my LCS today and, coincidentally, both were originally solicited for April 8. I took a critical look at Kent State per your recommendation but, apropos my comments above, I discovered I…"
"Dave, I sure enjoyed that cover array. I was collecting almost comprehensively by the early '70s, but don't have most of those issues -- because they weren't distributed to my neck of the woods. We mostly got Marvel, Archie and DC,…"
"Diana Rigg slipped through the cracks for me. I read about it when I wasn't near a computer, and forgot by the time I was.
For years, decades really, whenever I mentioned The Avengers, I meant the comic book. But if anybody had a reaction it…"
Emerkeith Davyjack replied to Captain Comics's discussion 'New Mutants': Good idea, great characters, bad timing"...My best to her. I guess that did escape me."
"You probably missed it, but on another thread I mentioned that my wife, Gayle, has had a series of illnesses since the fall of 2017. Just before the Covid-19 lockdowns started we were beginning to get out in the world (though not yet in theaters,…"

- Cap, a slight correction to your "Reprint Wishes" in CBG #1680. It was the Armorines that wore "Iron Man-type armor." The bodies of the H.A.R.D.

- Thank you Captain. I hope to be on your site for many years to come. I hope I can gleen as much information from your site about 1980s comics and politically incorrect ones. Thanks for having me.
