Seems like you judged the entire series on one issue.

This and Authority were an absolute revelation to me in the 90's, jaded from years of Marvel and DC averageness, the new look at heroes was a...

This is absolutely the difference between the teams, the reason why the Avengers endured for 50 years(give or take a year or 2), and in essence the difference between Marvel and DC.

If I had to...

Well I've been reading both for most of the last 35 years.
Both have gone thru good and bad periods.
With the market as it is now I find I'm more inclined to the Marvel Universe, while a year ago,...

I know this was from some time ago, but I'm just going thru doing some catch-up.
Sir, I admire you for what you have managed in life, and the humility and dignity with which you (seem to :biggrin: )...

Man that Joe Kubert fulla can draw, someone should give a book or 2 to do.

The 3 that always had the most emotional impact on me were

Captain Marvel, because it was handled so well.
Karate Kid, the epitome of hero, laying his life down for the woman he loved.
Captain...

So...thats a 70 year old, 9.4 graded book, holy crap, whats something like that worth ? Is there much stuff out there of that vintage in that condition ?

.

Really...does anyone draw the Green Lantern costume better than Gil Kane?
I think not...

His 60s lantern is some of my all-time favourite, and his work in the 80s, inking himself is utterly...

I think Kickers is one of my "guilty pleasures"...

I loved that when it came out, way more than DP7 and the other rubbish,(but not Starbrand which I still think was well done, that could have been...

I dont think that comics sales numbers at todays levels can solely be laid at the feet of the speculator bust of 17 - 18 years ago. Obviously that may have been the start, but there must be other...

I like that the art had started to be a bit more detailed. Compare the cover above to Swans work from the 60's (as a VERY broad comparison) to see what I mean. I think it was probably the impact of...

Totally agree, I read this because of some of the posts in this thread and have to say that I completely underwhelmed.
The art was...okay at best. I get trying new guys out, but it seems that guys...

With the GOTG movie coming, what would be more perfect as a tie-in than an adaptation of the 80's Hercules mini-series by Bob Layton. Hercules bestowing the "gift" on Thor anyone ?

This type of situation is a very real guage of just how good a friend someone is. Its unfortunate that we generally find that many people cant get past their own issues with sickness/disability. As...

I used to have a couple dozen of them, especially liked the Best of the Year, and Jonah Hex ones, but the creme de la creme were the Adventure Digests, with their reprints of classic Legion, in order...

Keep them coming spoon, the Legion have always been my one true DC love, since i fell for the amazing work of Jim Sherman, discovered some fellow named Cockrum, and then another young upstart called...

I've been wondering lately whether there are any other fans out there in this forum of alternate world stories.
The most widely known in comics would be Earth 2(pre New 52), and maybe the Age of...

I remember my mother would get me the British weekly Cor!! when i was 7 or 8, which led to weeklies like Battle and Action(OMG was that a slap-to-the-head as a 12 year old). A friend from school also...

Well in no particular order
01. Red Skull...All that Nazi badness...and Sleepers...and cubism
02. Crossbones...Probably my favourite of the newer generation goonsquad
03. Dr Doom...As with all the...

So it is offensive for a grown man to share a beer with his father, on a farm...even showing kids a pair of adults drinking responsibly cant be that bad, especially if like here in NZ your society...

Thats it in a nutshell Jez, to me its nothing to do with new 52 as such, but the individual books themselves.

I'm down to a few DC books such as Wonder Woman (which i never would have thought...

Let me get this right...this is the Amazing Spidey 700 thats like only weeks old, and some going for $1000. I know we love this stuff, but thats just stoopid.

Not tryin to dis you Jez, hell good...

Personnally I think that the list of favourite runs WE compiled earlier last year is good enough. We all had input, and there was a huge variety. Everyone played well with each other, which rarely...

Working my way through the 2 Champions trades, about 4 issues in. The stories have been pretty average, and I'm struggling with not laughing out loud at Angels new costume. I do find it interesting...

First thought here was Captain Marvel, based on the original comics. The whole kid as an adult hero thing, with whimsical humour, and a talking tiger...probably better as a cartoon series. But...
