Versus…
People can say what they want about it, but I thought Freddy Vs Jason was a fun little monster vs monster movie. Nothing ground breaking or anything, but certainly as even a mash up as we were ever gonna get. Sadly, what we never got was the proposed sequel, which would have thrown in a [...]
Son of Saturn Doesn’t Even Sound Intimidating.
Oh J’emm, whatever are we to do with you? In theory, you’re not a bad character. The problem is twofold: 1. You’re viewed as a Martian Manhunter rip off. Which is fair, since you were originally created to be a new Martian Manhunter at a time when J’onn wasn’t being used. Thing is, he ended [...]
Random Comic Book Friday.
You didn’t think I forgot did you? Perish the thought… and you should probably perish the thought of affording either of these, since I had my search functions set on highest priced this week… Click the image to see the astronomical price tag on this Todd McFarlane piece … Mind blowing.
Is Issue 2 Too Much To Ask For?
Don’t get me wrong, I’m incredibly psyched to see not one but TWO copies of issue 1 of Monsters Attack up right now, but the issue I’ve been obsessed with tracking down since I was 11 was issue number 2. Monsters Attack was a short lived b/w horror anthology comic magazine in the style of [...]
Random Comic Book Fridays Are Back.
You miss it? As always, the deal is that I just enter the words “comic book” in the search field, with whatever settings I currently have going at the time, and post the first 2 things that come up (that aren’t ending in the next 30 seconds at least). Oddly enough, this week what came [...]
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.
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 [...]
There’s Nothing Like A Lot.
You know it. I know it. We all know it. A lot of comics is a glorious thing. Even in the future, this will be the truth.
The Boys.
I never want it to be said that I’m unfair, so I took the liberty of catching up with the complete (so far) run of The Boys this past weekend. Never been a big fan of it, since for the most part I feel like the concept has been played out and that Garth Ennis’ [...]
