It dropped to $12 so I had to buy it. I still need to find Vol. 5 though.
It was my day for History Tube!!!
History with Cy dropped a new Part 1 vid “The Epic of Ancient Assyria”.
I got an early Christmas present!!!
I got an early Christmas present!!! One of my favorite YouTube channels, Fall of Civilizations, finally dropped the 5 1/2 hour TV-friendly version of “Persia – An Empire in Ashes”. (The podcast versions have a static image, and would cause massive burn-in on my plasma TVs!) Time to get my Achaemenid Empire freak on!!! Really….
DC’s The Warlord
A series that I had zero exposure to and never picked up was Mike Grell’s The Warlord at DC. I was a superhero kid, and oddly, the Swords and Sorcery fantasy type stuff never held my interest. (I didn’t read the 80’s Amethyst, Princess of Gemworld series either. Though I did like the Esteban Maroto…
👎 Unpopular Nala Opinion #4225 👎
I am just going to finally come out and say it, but I have always hated the work of comic Artist Steve Ditko. Sure, some of his early work in Amazing Fantasy on Spider-Man was ok, but by the mid-1970 and throughout the 1980s he produced some of the most horrendously bad comic art I…

ThreeZero MDLX Shockwave
Godsdammit! Every time I think I’m out… they f’n pull me back in!!! The one-eyed purple one is gor-gee-us! The ThreeZero MDLX Shockwave exclusive is amazeballs. Thankfully Shockwave is the ONLY Transformer I am still allowed to purchase.
“When the artist refuses to play by DC’s rules (Darwyn Cooke)”
I watched a fantastic video this evening from the YouTube Channel “matttt – comic & manga history” about the late great comic writer/artist Darwyn Cooke. I so very much loved his work. He and Ed Brubaker’s 2001 run on “Catwoman” completely took her in a 180° direction that likely has many aspects that linger in…
