Top 100 Summer Comics #26
This issue has a certain relevance, but let’s talk about the meat and bones first. Longshot, who doesn’t like him? Well, I bet a lot of people, but most people my age are alright with him. He was the original vapid alterna-hero. He basically is the archetype for Gambit, Every Image character ever, and many [...]
Strictly Business
One of the sad realities of comics is that they are a business. They may be art, but money keeps the presses running. So it shouldn’t really surprise anyone when a clueless corporation with no regard for the labor put into a comics universe buys it out and turns it to diarrhea. No, not a [...]
Top 100 Summer Comics #27
When I first read that Hulk was going to be on an alien planet, my brain groaned. Why. How can that be cool. Ugh. Stupid gimmick. This will suck. But then… it didn’t. It really didn’t. It was actually awesome. Greg Pak did it right. The trick – he developed and built out the world [...]
It’s Not Like It Was A Good Idea To Begin With.
These are the most hideous things I have ever seen. I don’t care if they’re vintage from 1989 and in near mint condition. They’re HIDEOUS. And this guy dares to ask $450 for them. Seriously. If you REALLY have to have a pair of Converse Bat-stars, at least go for the used pair with the [...]
Batman Has The Best Rogue’s Gallery.
I think that’s considered common knowledge. And I’m sure it’s common knowledge around here how much a fan I am of villain-centric comic book covers. So obviously these are right up my alley. Especially the second. Killer Croc never gets the respect he deserves, and that giant bat-logo looks sick.
Maybe Age Mellowed Him
If you had access to a real comic book store in the 90′s -and had a truly puerile sense of humor- Milk & Cheese was it, man. Those two “dairy products gone bad” would whoop the crap out of people for no good reason. And it was hilarious. If you took all the light, singular [...]
Top 100 Summer Comics #28
If there was another Fantastic Four movie, there’s only two conditions under which I will pay to watch it. 1. Complete straight up hard sci- slant, like some straight Greg Bear level of heaviness and galactic implications. Normal version – 3.5 hours. Extended DVD version 5+ hours. 2. If they could get that bunk cast [...]
Daredevil circa 1977/1978.
This is such a great lot. Great cover artwork. Classic DD villains like The Owl, Bullseye, and Death Stalker (so underused, how does THAT guy stay dead while Stilt Man keeps running around?). The first appearances of Paladin and Ben Urich. And so on and so forth. Comic lots man. Love em. Plus it’s a [...]
