Re: 2024 Hauls
I hate to hear that about Side Burn. Been considering whether or not to pick one up. Might want to just skip it, judging by your review. Today's haul: Superman The Triangle Era Omnibus volume 1. I remember these books quite fondly, back in the late 80s/early 90s when the four different Superman book...

Re: Comics are Awesome III
Today's comics: facsimile edition of Transformers #1 (Marvel), World's Finest #31, Zero Hour 30th anniversary special and Green Lantern #15. Looks like next month is going to start putting legacy numbering in small print beneath the current number. GL #16 is legacy #583.

Re: Retro Comics are Awesome
Sounds like a classic case of the sequel being green-lit because the first installment was a success, but the sequel struggles to find a story and just can't live up to the original. Kind of like almost every sequel to Crisis that DC has attempted. Green Lantern/Green Arrow #82 February-March 1971 H...

Re: Retro Comics are Awesome
The Adventures of Batboy! Script: Unknown Pencils: Sheldon Moldoff Inks: Stan Kaye I can't say that I had high hopes for this story. A guy in a baseball uniform with a cape and a trick baseball bat is not the most inspirational street-level superhero I've ever seen. But I can't judge a book by it's...

Re: Dreamwave G1 read-through
Transformers/G.I. Joe #1 "The Line" Writer John Ney Riber, Art Jae Lee, Colors June Chung I'm not a G.I. Joe fan, so I bought this Dreamwave mini and the other early one that came out around this time (by Devil's Due comics, maybe?) mainly for the Transformers. I did like the art quite a ...

Re: Movies are awesome
I liked the 2005 FF film, but not this one. I'm mainly a DC guy, but the Fantastic Four are my favorite Marvel characters. I'm seriously hoping they get the upcoming movie right. I always feel conflicted on an FF movie, because I always hope it's going to be good, but then I also think, "Will ...

Re: Movies are awesome
Fan4stic (aka Fantastic Four 2015) - Watched this for the first time yesterday. I can see why it didn't do well. It's such a dark take on the team, and most of the characters really don't get any development. Ben and Reed are friends from childhood, because Reed is building the teleporter. And... t...
