I thought the ending to the series was quite satisfactory. Doesn’t really need continuing further. 140 + issues was enough.

I would've thought you'd be contributing to the clandestine, Mason-like Brit boardie thread by now, and have visited the brotherhood's secret sanctum 'somewhere' in darkest Hertfordshire?

Marvel Graphic Novel 5, ‘God Loves, Man Kills’ by Chris Claremont and Brent Anderson. Marvel Graphic Novel 1, ‘The Death of Captain Marvel’ by Jim Starlin is also excellent. Batman: Ego by Darwyn Cooke

Yup. Just reading a wide range of material digitally is far more satisfying for me than what would be the foolhardy stress of trying to compete for high-ticket keys with the much more affluent. As was said, the good thing about the hobby is that you have several very different approaches to choose from, and, in that way at least, it’s much less restrictive than the pre-digital age.

The Vision by Tom King.

I always thought it just levitated in the air and moved around by itself, controlling its body parts, something a little bizarre like that? Now they’d probably reimagine the character as a zombie. The title only lasted 4 issues, and so DC wouldn’t have had much opportunity to have a go at them for using Dr Fate, maybe?

That's the one I watched.

There was a documentary on British TV about Scientology which mentioned that they teach the brief, intermittent staring that Cruise is doing here as a type of dominating technique.

Welcome back to the boards. Caltopia v 2.0

Posted elsewhere, but, one issue, one page, comedy genius...

They have done really well. There’s still the risk of consumer fatigue developing in the longer term, which might have a significantly-negative effect and signal a drift away to other film genres; though I hope not.

One of EC's best science-fiction stories, from Weird Science 20, and certainly one of the saddest comics you'll ever read, is 'The Loathsome'.

A lot of hard-hitting social commentary in that series; the Klan, anti-semitism, drug addiction, police corruption, mob violence.

Squadron Supreme by Mark Gruenwald Batman vs Grendel by Matt Wagner Batman : White Knight by Sean Murphy DC : The New Frontier by Darwyn Cooke

This one is quite popular...

Being a huge fan and thinking that so much of their material is absolutely brilliant, I hit a wall when I try to choose something from EC. The preceding Bernard Krigstein story from Impact 1 is the standout best from the generally lacklustre, Code-neutered New Direction era. Powerful, with superb artwork showcasing a mastery of congruent panel design. A few pages of brilliance from an otherwise quite mediocre 50s comic; really the transitional decline of EC showcased in a single book.

That was quick !

Amazing Spider-Man 215

- New Gods 7, ‘The Pact’. - Spider- Man : Tangled Web 4, ‘Severance Package’

We don't just play villains all the time.

Another great choice. I'd considered posting this one, the suicide issue, as one of Chris Claremont's most powerful and darkest stories, from one of my all-time favourite writers.

Yup. 'Hold Me' by Neil Gaiman and Dave McKean : a brilliant comic.

- Teen Titans 38, "Who is Donna Troy?" - Brave and Bold 197, Alan Brennert's classic Earth 2 Batman / Catwoman story - Action Comics 775, "What's So Funny About Truth, Justice and the American Way?" - Swamp Thing 21 "The Anatomy Lesson" - Batman : Holy Terror by Brennert and Breyfogle

Great Chris Claremont story, dated by his old-school, overly-expositional dialogue, which I still don't mind at all.
