  1. I also thought this was an interesting statement from Hill at last year's SDCC interview:

     

    "One man asked what "Locke and Key" would cross over with, if Hill could do anything he wanted. Hill had the perfect answer. "They find the key to the Fortress of Solitude. Wouldn't that be awesome?"

     

    Yes... it would.

  2. Interesting - heard it was coming out but haven't searched for anything.

     

     

    Here's more (this was published in August, 2009 so may or may not be outdated info):

     

    Frazetta Comics will present two new one-shots at an unspecified point in 2010. The first is "Frank Frazetta's Kodiak," which is written by Joe Hill of "Locke & Key." "Joe and I have been working on 'Locke & Key' together for a while; we just finished up the second series, 'Head Games,'" Fotos said. "I love his work, so it was a no brainer to ask him if he would be interested in Frazetta Comics. Thankfully, he was."

     

    Frazetta enthusiasts might be scratching their heads at the unfamiliar name "Kodiak," and they'd have valid reason. The story is actually inspired by Frazetta's painting "The Bear," departing from that original name for the comic book version. "I think we are more of the sticklers on that kind of stuff than Frank," Fotos admitted. "We try and stay true to the original painting names, but 'Frank Frazetta's Kodiak' sounds so much cooler than 'Frank Frazetta's The Bear.'"

     

    Joining Hill on "Kodiak" is co-writer Jason Ciaramella and artist Nick Stakal. The story is filled with "flame, fur and ferocity," as Fotos described it. The plot centers on a betrayed young man who is forced into battle against a vicious Kodiak bear, with only the love of a fair maiden able to sustain him through the vicious altercation. "'Kodiak' is your classic EC Comics noir story that obviously stars a giant Kodiak bear," Fotos said. "But if you know Joe's work, it's more than that. I don't want to give too much away."

     

     

     

     

  3. Went to the Springfield Extravaganza - the largest flea market/antique mall I've ever been to. Found this one - Feb. 1946 - $20:

    Sweet! Did you find this book all by itself? Or pluck it from a pile of GAs or as a sleeper in a pile of newer drek? However it went down, nice find!

     

     

    This guy had boxes of GA - not much in the superhero area or in very good condition. I was looking through a pile of comics inside one of the buildings and a man came up to me and told me about this dealer and where he was. I didn't find him until the end of the day, but was glad I did.

  4. I think the media is to blame for these guys' oh so enlightened assertion that the media is to blame for women's body-image issues, if any.

     

    That was not a tautology.

     

    These guys are spewing stuff that they've heard in, well, the media, in an attempt to sound enlightened and informed and sensitive toward women's issues. It is, therefore, ironic that a woman is giving them the business on this point. I bet they never saw it coming.

     

    They are also under the belief that the majority of folks (in this case the majority of the female gender) is so weak-willed and sheep-like that they are brainwashed by advertising, tv, movies, etc.

     

    To recap:

     

    1) these male posters are trying to make themselves look good;

    2) these male posters think the folks are stupid kitties

     

    No, you're just taking it that way.

     

    What I said I have heard from the mouth of many women. I'm 40 and have talked to quite a few of them. I've been in several long term relationships and I've observed women for more than 1/2 my life. I also have 3 daughters ages 9 to 15 and I observe their behavior regularly and tackle these self esteem issues daily or weekly.

     

    I was also a player (at least in my own mind) in my single days and I made it my mission to figure out what makes women tick. Sue me.

     

    I think COI is spot on, but it was wasn't meant to be an attack on women just an observation...and the flip side of the coin applies to most men.

     

    Their looks, genital size, hair, income, weight, car they drive and reputation are all important and often directly related to their self esteem issues. We just don't go about talking about openly with everyone but might with a close friend.

     

    To be fair, everyone's self esteem issues have some sort of a root cause and it's different for everyone.

     

     

    That last statement says it all and I agree totally.
