A very logical and natural one, though.

+1 More tactful than I'd have written it.

Yeah, perfect timing. Also hoping the next one gets moved away from the UK's August Bank Holiday weekend. Actually i think its perfect as i can now bring the little ones with me, as there is no school It's polarising, for sure.

Brand?? Denon MM400. They're brilliant.

Most selling venues didn't stamp their books (which is why I wrote 'some selling venues'). I bought comics off the rack for five years in the 1970s, and only a tiny handful of places put date stamps on their comics for sale. Same period as this, I never once saw that done here in the UK.

Trying out my new headphones with a few tracks from Nero's Welcome Reality dubstep album, and then really testing out the bass response with Bob Marley's Exodus album. Only using YouTube, but really impressive.

An average slugfest comic.

You can't compare Wolverine... with...... erm! whats her name? The only comparison that really comes to mind is that both of their key first appearances were in an issue 180.

+1 I always liked this annual...

Richard Ayoade was hilarious in Garth Marenghi's Darkplace and The IT Crowd, but I can't see him as The Doctor.

Certainly one of the nicest, friendliest comic creators I've ever met at a convention.

There is quite a difference. Never could get my head around the idea of a typical, mainstream comic from 1983 being Bronze Age.

Hayley Atwell A female Doctor would be good.

The obvious one for a primarily or completely digital age would be Silicon.

I can remember those late 80s and early 90s books as if it was yesterday. They still feel modern to me. But, I’m in my 50s, so this is the sort of temporal merging together which tends to happen when you’re long in the tooth. Given that I’m reading digital now and nothing as physical copies, and not missing the latter, you can guess which description I favour.

Those definitely beat my suggestions. Really, really craptastic.

A shame because it does have some very nice Wally Wood art in it. Yes it does, but it's also (a) unreadable tripe and (b) exists by the shipping container load. Yup. A common $1-or-less raw book for years. Possibly still is. Other examples of this might include some Continuity Comics first issues; nice Adams or Adams-like artwork, often very poor stories.

I suspect that it would be easy to find a worthless b / w indie from the 80s to fit in here?

Lots of nice Severin and Ploog art there.

Elementals was AMAZING. Used to look forward to reading this one, also Matt Wagner's Mage and Grendel, all from Comico. Willingham's still an excellent writer, try Fables.

+1 Many books to love I'm so DC that thinking of Adams on Avengers just seems outlandish to me. Like picturing DiMaggio in a Red Sox uni, that bizarre. I have to admit, though, I am intrigued. Maybe I should look for a reprint of this run. It's beautiful and an awesome story. One of the Aeams issues has a splash of Triton climbing out of the water onto a dock that is absolutely stunning. Absolutely, 100% agree. It's an epic storyline. Just wish it had ended better. Lots of nice Adams work in there; Ant-Man's fantastic voyage through the injured Vision, Black Bolt's shattering whisper, the great Triton splash page and the space battle between The Avengers and the Skrulls. The ending is a disappointing, overblown deus ex machina involving Rick Jones and some self-indulgent Golden Age nostalgia from the writer.
