I first read the Yandroth story as a reprint in Giant-Size Dr. Strange #1, which came out during the Englehart/Colan run. I was reading the Ditko Strange around the same time in Strange Tales which...

The Keith Giffen of the 80s or 70s would have been great: I like his Kirbyesque style of that era more than what he produced in his recent OMAC revival, which looked more like Tom Scioli. Not that I...

No, I don't think of Starfox, or any of the Titanians, as an Eternal. All that was added in after the original series, in an effort to make them more a part of the MU. I had no idea Hyperion was...

The more I see of Black Swan in previews of the New Avengers, the more she seems to me something like Hickman's version of Englehart's Moondragon: exotically attractive female with an unsettlingly...

Looking at the very first post of the thread reminds me that we were asked to name not only what are our favourite discontinued series but also the ones we'd like to see brought back. So hondobrode:...

Is there still a Mantis-speak? I didn't read the Guardians series all the way through, but from the previews she seemed to speak more or less like everybody else.

I always say that Moondragon's...

Is the interior artwork in colour or black and white? I seem to recall seeing a few French reprints of Marvel comics in which the interior art had been de-colourized, if that's a word. If they were...

I'm with Reptisaurus! on Morbius: never had any interest in the character. Always seemed to me a lame effort at a vampire superhero/villain, and I've alwasys found that the supernatural and superhero...

Soory to hear about the loss of your pet, MRP. I've said this before, but probably the biggest reason I don't have a pet is the selfish fear of having to deal with its inevitable death. There are...

Like a lot of people, I really like the Severin artwork. I suspect that the writing probably wasn't any worse or better than what we were getting at MAD in the 70s but Cracked didn't enjoy the same...

So you're talking about Azzarello's and Lobdell's reinventions rather than the character in general?

I'm curious: what makes you think that?

I haven't read many Tarzan comics over the years, but I think I like the look of the Burne Hogarth artwork best of the ones I've seen. Couldn't speak to the writing, though.

I think you're both right: The Eternals are plenty interesting as their own self-contained concept as set up in the original series, but aren't that interesting - and in fact make no sense - as part...

That's correct and the interesting thing about Ikaris is that one of the things Kirby did in his original series is use him to show that the traditional square-jawed alpha male leader attitude isn't...

I try to go on a case by case basis. Like a lot of fans, I have my favourite characters and pet series, and if I see a writer talking about them in a way that convinces me he or she either doesn't...

I don't like the photographed covers either, whether in comics or paperback novels: for example, the 70s James Bond covers with photographed models are the worst in the history of that series, IMO....

The people who defend Shooter always leave me puzzled: as an editor, the best you could say for him is that he ran a tight ship and got the books out on schedule - which always reminds me of the line...

I might be getting the wrong impression since I'm not actually readin any DC comics at the moment, but from previews and other on-line sources of info it seems to me that the New Gods are right back...

I repeat: Doctor War, Silver Thunder, Strange Machine, the Scarlet Spider, Witch Man, Strange America, and, above all, the sublime Doctor Captain sound to me like some of the most intriguing...

I haven't read any of these and they look like typically bad 90s-style Marvel comics to me, but I think that the Scarlet Spider, Witch Man, Strange America, and especially Doctor Captain, all from...

Confirms that the "Kirby-verse" hinted at near the end of Final Crisis won't be part of Multiversity. Which makes sense and sghouldn't surpise us: Multiversity is Morrison's love-letter to the DC...

Marvel these days wants to tie everything closely together in one very superhero-centric fictional universe, so it's difficult for them to pull off other genres. They have done at least two...

That reminds me - do you ever watch MMA? I was eondering if, when you see fighters who come from a Karate background like George St Pierre (soon to play Batroc in the new Captain America movie) can...

They're doing a Steppenwulf series at DC now, aren't they? Or something where's he's one the main characters: Earth Two, which from the sound of it I assume is in some kind of alternate universe or...
