Scott’s Classic Comics Corner: Superman’s Forgotten Team-Ups Pt. 1
You are all likely aware of the fact that Superman was the headliner DC Comics Presents, the much hyped the team-up book launched in 1978. You may even recall house ads from back in the day, showcasing other DC ‘team-ups’ to show the historical importance of the new series. What those ads failed to mention [...]
A Month of Pulitzer Prize Winning Cartoons – Day 16
I thought it would be an interesting look into our nation’s political cartoon history if, this month, I took a look at a different editorial cartoon each day that won the Pulitzer Prize for Editorial Cartooning. Do note that we’re talking basically 1922-1967 here, as since then, the Committee has almost always awarded cartoonists generally [...]

Why I Love Penny Arcade In One Panel

The third one here, to be exact. I just love those facial expressions. I’m pretty sure that this one translates beyond the audience that’s played the game (which is shockingly awesome). It also explains the strip’s humor pretty well. So, if you read only one panel of Penny Acade ever, make this the one!

Manga Before Flowers — March Manga Madness: Previews Version!
Okay, it’s probably been too long since I’ve done a previews pick post but honestly, previews are one of my favorite things about reading comics and being part of the whole Wednesday-crowd experience. A good healthy list of manga titles I’d want to buy — even three or four months in the future — makes me [...]
Joe’d…

I’d not date other comic fans. Do we really need an extra thousand things to argue about? I’ll stick with where to eat and whose parents are crazier. I don’t need to yell about the relative merits of Joe Matt vs. Johnny Ryan. I’d have saved my anti-Crisis-on-Infinite-Earths Piece Seriously, I can’t find that anywhere. [...]

They just learned that they could have had some company had Lucas, Spielberg and Kasdan’s original Raiders of the Lost Ark script gone their way…
Lorendiac’s Lists: The DC Reboots Since Crisis on Infinite Earths
Here is the archive of the lists Lorendiac posts here, and here is his latest!- BC. Three years ago I requested help from my fellow fans in compiling a list of all the reboots DC had done of characters or entire teams in the years since COIE. Recently I repeated that request on a few [...]

No, I’m not jesting. And don’t call me “Shirley.”

A Year of Cool Comic Book Moments – Day 74
Here is the latest cool comic book moment in our year-long look at one cool comic book moment a day (in no particular order whatsoever)! Here‘s the archive of the moments posted so far! Today we look at perhaps the best kind of scene for the Ides of March, courtesy of Superman’s Pal, Jimmy Olsen [...]
I’d Have a Seven Soldier Join the Justice League
On top of Zatanna, I’d like to add one more of the Seven Soldiers join the Justice League. Probably Shining Knight or Shiloh Norman, but Frankenstein might be interesting, too. Let’s not let these good characters go to waste! So I’d add a Seven Soldier to the Justice League.
I’d Bring Alex Wilder Back
I think the guy is just too fascinating of a character to have him permanently be stuck in that white void dimension he currently is in. Either as a redeemed villain or as a super-villain in training, he’s such a great character that I’d bring him back.
I’d Find Some Regular Role for Amanda Waller
Is there seriously not a single book where Amanda Waller couldn’t pop up in on a regular basis? Justice League liaison? I dunno, there just has to be some role out there for one of the best new characters of the 1980s. I’d find some regular role in the DC Universe for Amanda Waller.
