Yup. Although not really up to the standard of their inspired, classic X-Men run it does follow the same interwoven, extended narrative structure, and is definitely worth having as a precursor to what Claremont and Byrne achieved elsewhere, soon after.
-
Hellcow and Doctor Bong are my favourites, followed by The Spanker and The Space Turnip.
-
Irredeemable, as well. That is, Mark Waid's evil Superman series.
-
That's a very minimalist post. Love the creative use of empty space.

Looking back at the statement I made, as posted above, I'm going to support Byrne's use of emptiness here. Besides being a huge Byrne fan to begin with, I also like other artists who use blank space and minimalism, such as Alex Toth.

What issue/series is this Spider-Man page from?
Ken Aldred replied to Haupia's topic in Comics General
It's pretty much the benchmark for a comicbook depiction of selfless heroism: the driving force for his actions, and the imagery, being his extreme concern for Aunt May. -
I have nothing to post this year, apart from an abundance of likes.
-
Try Werewolf by Night 28 to 30, where Jack Russell's sister is transformed into what's basically a werewolf-demon hybrid, by the interaction between the full moon and a black magician's spell.
-
Steve Gerber's Man-Thing series is very consistently readable, but the Clown storyline is worth noting... Mike Ploog art in both.
-
Just wait until flashback nightmares about the new Doctor start. Then, you might find that Colin and Sly’s relatively mild long-term psychological effects weren’t so bad after all.
-
More like Splash Brannigan than Venom....
-
I’ve just read a previous post again. On re-reading it it’s just someone on Facebook being sarcastic. But, I don’t disagree.
-
I was under the impression that the series had been polarising, but there are enough positives available to provide confirmation bias and disregard the many negatives. Even when one such negative was from Colin Baker.

Yup. If you’re going to introduce yourself to The Silver Age, this masterpiece is a very, very good place to begin. -
Yup. It often seems a secondary consideration as a grading criterion. For example, I've received an expensive NM raw SA book, graded as a white pager, with edges which were really quite obviously browning and OW, at best.
-
I'd buy a nicely-presenting 9.6, especially if there are no really perceptible flaws to be seen through the slab, and save the money. Such flaws can still appear in 9.8s, such as a small colour-breaking crease, which can surprise and confuse at first. That's for me adding to my collection, not an investment position on the matter.
-
Certainly the best of the films. I've never seen the TV series.
-
Dogfish, shark. Touristy in London would be jellied eels, or pie and mash.
-
I’m still working my way through the Kodansha Manga to Anime Humble Bundle I purchased a few months ago. Extremely generous amount of digital material. Full runs of Ghost in the Shell, Battle Angel Alita, Seven Deadly Sins, Inuyashiki and Ajin : Demi-Human.
-
A good choice. Not touristy at all. Hopefully you went for some nice cod rather than ‘rock salmon’. That’s my bias, as a northerner.
-
A big reversal for us, from a high exchange rate and much lower, more affordable prices back then to a perfect storm of a pitiful exchange rate combined with stratospheric speculation prices on keys. Quite happy I’m just reading digital comics, for now.
-
Worse still if you're British.
-
Ever seen the motion-capture CGI series of Captain Scarlet? Surprisingly good, and quite dark.
-
It's interesting that the current series of Doctor Who is so tedious that we've digressed away into talking about actual classic science-fiction; The Thing, The Outer Limits.
-
If they don't follow the original closely and instead do something radically different, there's the occasional classic, such as John Carpenter's version of The Thing. But, it's rare.
