The Reason Why I Dropped Uncanny X-Men All Those Years Ago

For years I have mentioned that I was a huge Uncanny X-men fan/collector until they pissed me off with two issues that teased something that wouldn’t happen. I thought they both had “The Final Fate of An X-Man” on the title, but only one did. Any way, I was pissed with issue 247 because it [...]

Buck Wild!

Why Buck Wild? Why not? From Icon’s Wikipedia Entry: Rufus T. Wild/”Buck Wild, Mercenary Man” – First appeared in Icon #13 “It’s Always Christmas” (May 1994); Buck Wild possessed “belief defyin’ strength” and “tungsten hard skin”, but spoke as if he came from a blaxploitation film. He was a hero to the local folks, but [...]

Why Is Steve Rogers A Bully?

I was reading Invincible Iron Man #172, which happened during the Demon In A Bottle/Iron Man Rhodey phase, when I came across this bit of Bully Rogers living up to his name. At this time Tony Stark is drinking on a dirty mattress in the poor part of town. The last thing he needs is [...]

Madelyne Pryor

The book I am looking forward to the most this week.

Out of all the books I picked up this week, I am looking forward to reading Dark Horse Presents issue 13. Closely followed by Courtney Crumrin #3.

The Curse Strikes Again!

Apparently the Coward Curse (where comic books I like and have on my pull list die a relatively quick death) has struck again. The Source has announced the cancellation of six titles: Blackhawks Hawk and Dove Men of War Mister Terrifc O.M.A.C. Static Shock The only one I didn’t have on my pull list was [...]

More Nexus On The Way

Mike Baron posted this on Facebook: “Mike Baron and Steve Rude are working on a new Nexus story.” He gave no other details except that it will be published by Dark Horse. In the comment section, he also revealed there’s a six issue Badger series in the works and he has posted some art on [...]

Comic Book Hero: The Greatest Cape Release Date Announced

I’m not sure if I ever mentioned it on the podcast or not, but I am a HUGE fan of the Grey Dog Software games that are put out by Adam Ryland. (However, I should note that I haven’t played any of their other games.) The ones that he does are based around professional wrestling [...]

The Eclipse Comics character I most want to see come back

As much as I love Miracleman, I think I would rather see The Prowler come back into print and with new stories. He is woefully overlooked in the grand scheme of things.
