Hey there! Do you know if they make any plugins to help with SEO? I’m trying to get my blog to rank for some targeted keywords but I’m not seeing very good results. If you know of any please share. Kudos!

Jesus, Kevin, I’m sorry a superhero comic touched you in your no-no place as a child, but if you don’t want to read another column about them, might I suggest not clicking on links that say: “Batman: Shadow of the Bat”?

Isn’t nostalgia supposed to be a positive feeling? Alan Grant on Shadow of the Bat’s best left to the past, I’d say.

I believe I’m a year older than you (I’m 27) and if we’re looking at my collection it would be nothing but X-Men comics until 1996 and then just Avengers and Ironman. So @Kevin, we could be having a month of X-Force #3 followed by X-Men #32 then Captain N #2 finished by Chip & Dale #5 (okay I fibbed a bit before I started collecting comics in ernest I picked up a copy of a Captain N comic and a Chip & Dale comic).

…wait, do Transformers count as superhero comics?

Kevin — Yes, there are, but we’re not talking about kids as a broad concept, we’re talking about me as a kid. Also, it’s been TWO DAYS… how do you know what comics I’ll read next? How do you know it’s a box of superhero comics and nothing but superhero comics?

How would a person such as Kevin (or, I for that matter) go about doing a Nostalgia month of non-superhero comics for the site?

I think that this is a really good idea. And, while my November is really busy, am considering using it to do the same over at my LiveJournal in Dec.

I’m so greatful for Kevin to come over to tell us poor unenlightened fools that comics can be about more than superheroes. I had no idea.

I agree that if this is from your childhood, it makes me feel really old.

I apologize for coming on strong. I’m just trying to find the point of yet another column all about superhero comics. There are more comics, for kids, then superheroes.

Kevin — Forgive my younger self for focusing on superheroes in his purchasing… because most kids are known for their breadth and depth of reading material.

This did indeed predate the “Judge” episode as far as I know. Alan Grant always frustrates me on Shadow — the plot ideas are clever and there’s a lot of thought being put into the story premise, but the execution is somehow always a bit cliched, as with the Alfred red herring in this story.

So is this going to be another masturbatory Superhero column from “COMICS should be Good”?

I agree with Greg Hatcher, that book ain’t that old!

I can’t remember this issue being particularly memorable. However, I do tend to think that Alan Grant doesn’t get enough credit as a Bat-writer (or a Lobo writer, for that matter).

Well, these are from my era, too.

Did this one come out before that episode of the animated series with “The Judge”? Could this be an influence?
