The Sandman Omnibus Vol II arrived yesterday. It appears to be up there in size and weight with Vol I. Vol III is supposed to be arriving sometime later today. It is quite a beast as well. I’m kind of glad I bought these when I did. With my morning, all extraneous purchases are a…

I love the real Golden Age Captain Marvel. I love the Golden Age Superman. I LOVE Kerry Callen combining to famous Golden Age comic covers into a new story. THIS is why The Marvel Family should have been merged into Earth-Two! Criminals can’t escape Supers or cap no matter where they escape to! Artist: Kerry…
Krypto and Streaky
An amazing illustration of a more traditional Krypto, including Streaky the Super-Cat! I loves me some Krypto. I’ve always been apathetic to Streaky, Beppo, and Comet though. Artist: Jesse Rubenfeld – http://jesserubenfeld.net/

There are mitigating circumstances why I haven’t gone to see Superman this weekend. However, I am so psyched to see a Krypto in the new film. I love the pure absurdity of a dog with the powers of a Kryptonian! Not a fan of the super-intelligent Silver Age Krypto. Yes, even for me, that was…
Oh poor Matthew.

I was the odd child back in the day who loved DC’s Earth-Two with all the characters from the 1940s. I loved the Justice Society of America, and I loved the All-Star Squadron! The real Captain Marvel (from Earth-S) found himself on Earth-Two before this (along with Mary and Jr.) but during the Crisis on…
Doug Ramsey (Cypher) and Warlock
While Archer’s Pam Poovey called Cypher the “gayest X-Men”, Doug Ramsey to me had the single greatest and most realistic power ever: Unlimited Pattern Recognition! Given enought exposure to something, Doug could figure out all of the inherent nuance and pattern to something and grok it at a level other nobody else good. (And I…

While I could not care about Pre-Crisis Lex Luthor, I totally loved the look of the revamped Brainiac! The robot skeleton didn’t last long with Earth-1 being wiped out and all, but elements of it have thankfully persisted until this very day. I have a figure somewhere around here.

Bill Sienkiewicz is one of the GOATs in the world of comics. This is a fundamental truth of this reality that you cannot argue with. Just try. You will fail. His art is transcendent.

One of the greatest comic series ever written. Running from 1994 until 2001, James Robinson’s “Starman” was the single greatest thing to happen to the Post-Crisis JSA. It was only the only thing coming out of “Zero Hour” that I enjoyed. I need to get all the trades.
