ohtani's jacket Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 I finally caught up with David Lapham's most recent work on Stray Bullets. Stray Bullets was one of the comics I bought when I was still collecting comics. I'm glad he's still producing it after all these years. His art and storytelling have improved immensely from the early issues. The most recent arc was bloated compared to the original series, especially given it was a prequel, and the obligatory Amy Racecar issues grated after a while, but when it was good, it was really, really good.

J.H. Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Steve Lightle's son just posted on FB that his father passed away last night after a heart attack. This really is a bummer as I always loved his work, especially on LSH RIP Mr. Lightle James 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobholly138 Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Been reading a collection of both issues of Skywald's Crime Machine series from 71. Grabbed it cheap about a year ago. Didn't know until I started reading it that it just reprints a bunch of Avon published Pre-Code Crime comics. Still the 8 or 9 page stories make it perfect quick reading.

I bought a ton of the trades for a decent price. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Natural Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 What would you say are the must read arcs from The Walking Dead? I've had The Walking Dead, Volume 1: Days Gone By, The Walking Dead, Volume 2: Miles Behind Us and The Walking Dead, Volume 3: Safety Behind Bars sitting in my cupboard which I've never read. I also have the first five issues of The Walking Dead Deluxe which I didn't think I'd asked for on my pull list. How's the books compared to the show? I watched seasons 1-3. Thanks for the help in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ohtani's jacket Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 I am completely up to date with Attack on Titan. I think the last chapter comes out next month. Wow. So many twists and turns. I have no idea who is good or bad, right or wrong. The story became so big that it could have easily spiraled out of control, but it was gripping up until the penultimate chapter. One of the great manga series. I also started reading Comico's Jonny Quest. That second issue. Wow. A tearjerker that early? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

odessasteps Posted June 4, 2021 Author Share Posted June 4, 2021 The other day, a shop had a bunch of early 80s Archie family books and digests in their .25 boxes. Was tempted but not old enough to buy for laughs. Bought 2 1980s Tower Thunder Agents books and a late 70s B&B with the Blackhawks and E-2 Bats.

twiztor Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 Mighty Crusaders: The Shield #1 this issue, when it is remembered, will be known for the drama involving Rob Liefield, rather than its contents. After Liefield left the planned miniseries, Archie Comics downgraded it to a one-shot. Unfortunately, it feels like they didn't change the story at all. It reads like it's setting up a grand mystery involving multiple timelines or universes, because it is pulling inspiration from the numerous relaunches of the Crusaders/Red Circle/Dark Circle line. It's titular hero is represented by three incarnations, so it's supposed to be tough to tell which would have been the long-term protagonist. In actuality, it's not. It's Joe Higgins, the original and most famous Shield. The rest of the Crusaders team gets a brief introductory blip and cameo. Liefield's art is exactly what you would expect. How you like the art here is exactly how you feel about any of his projects over the last 30 years. Personally, i'm fine with it. A bit static for my tastes, but it was perfectly serviceable. I wasn't specifically looking for them, but i didn't notice any pouches. There's a multi-page fight scene between Shield (Joe Higgins) and some bad guy commandos, including taking down a helicopter, but none of it has any gravitas. Liefield's writing is very basic. It's done twofold, with Shield (Joe Higgins) monologuing the majority of the issue, but Shield (Victoria Adams, leader of the Crusaders) narrating the other bits as a presentation to her team. It doesn't engross you and there's not really enough there for you to get to know any of the characters, with the exception of the Shield (Joe Higgins). The big secret twist that Liefield quit over seems incredibly obvious (it's not revealed in this issue, but is likely that Shield (William Higgins. i think this is a new character? he's only seen in the very first panel of the comic) is attacking Shield (Joe Higgins). Knowing how these Archie reboots go, i'm not expecting a follow-up to this story, although i would check it out. YMMV if you're not familiar with the characters.

bobholly138 Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 So couldn't sleep last night,Tuesday,at 6am after cooking breakfast for everybody I sat out on the porch and read some TPBs. Negative Burn Summer Special 2005-Image I loved Negative Burn when Calibur was putting it out. But forgot Image published it after Calibur went under. Got this couple hundred page tpb for 3 bucks. Has a Brian Bolland Mister Moullensan,I doubt I spelled that right,one page strip. And the rest was all people I hadn't heard of ,or ones I knew the name but not well. Good stuff. Worth the cheap price. And kinda wanna go see how many issues of the original run I need to have them all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
