  1. Johnny Craig seems to be quite underrated in the horror genre, but at EC he was great with the comparatively restrained, psychological horror stories, and not just the gory covers. Wally Wood is my all-time favourite science-fiction comic artist.
  2. Legion of Super-Heroes 38 Bill Sienkewicz
  3. Created as a response to the android Red Tornado over at DC. Using the alien and otherworldly appearance of the Golden Age Timely character works really well, whereas I've always thought the Red Tornado looks terrible.
  4. I didn't know Sean Murphy was on that title. Great artist. I'll pick up a hardcover or trade paperback, sometime.
  5. The teleportation associated with a smoke cloud reminds me of Nightcrawler.
  6. You mean I DIDN'T create your name? I assumed that Ditch was an American first name, like Chip or Buck.
  7. The thread has definitely highlighted significant shortcomings, Jimmers. For me, personally, it's the lack of stringency in the board's filter system, which still allows words such as 'vole' through. This can't go on, and I really should contact the moderators.
  8. I have a 9.0 that presents brilliantly, no observable flaws. Dave / Oakman has an excellent 9.0, as well.
  9. Bullying doesn't necessarily require an audience. Often it does, where the abuser seeks empowerment by being seen to be dominant in front of an acquiescent crowd of their peers or subordinates, employing that to pressurise the victim into compliance with their demands, but it can often continue, one-on-one, at an isolated location where further abuse can't be observed or criticised by others. Playground versus staircase, for example. I've experienced a lot of this behaviour.
  10. I tried 'vole'. To my surprise, that circumvented the filter as well.
  11. The Prequel is d*****s. Don't wast your time on it. There are bugs galore in it, and the graphics pale in comparison to the other 2. Honestly that is why I avoided it. I am not someone that needs a game immediately. I usually wait for it to be out a month or two to see what's up with it AND I usually buy it cheaper by waiting. I can wait quite a while until I've read that patches have been released to make a certain game run smoothly, and by then it's usually dropped to the £10-15 range. A win-win situation. Rocksteady's Arkham Asylum and City are superb. I haven't played the 3rd one.
  12. I don't believe Chuck was doing anything malicious. He's just very analytical.
