Cat

How did I miss them? I bought a comic last week specifically for CA, and the week before read Stargirl The Lost Children, which stars Wing.

What's we all think of Transformers 5? That ending!! Can't wait for #6. And it's so good seeing In action.

Note everyone, there's an Energon Universe Special due out for Free Comic Book Day, and it's then getting reprinted, possibly with extra material (not quite sure on that) and being sold through Previews at regular comic price.

Abraham Slam from Black Hammer

DC modern The Ray

Which means you've also missed this easy one. And the accompanying cause of the Golden Age Atom's change of costume and powers, Cyclotron.

Holy carp. Thundercats #1 came out this week. It wasn't meant to be shipped to Australia, but a shipment was accidentally sent to my LCS, and I accidentally got a copy. Oopsie. At the back it has a cover gallery of all the available covers. It's insane. They're about a centimetre high, 7mm wide or so, guesstimating, and there are FIVE F&$KING PAGES OF COVERS TO SEE. That's nuts. All of our shipment was cover A, which was fine as we weren't supposed to get it anyway, though I was hoping for the Liefeld cover (seriously, it was nice) but all these variants? Eff that. No wonder the industry is dying, being artificially propped up by stunts such as this. It's insane.

Dr Fate

Citizen Steel/Commander Steel.

As per the title, was chatting with a friend, and we started noticing how many comics characters had fins on their head, usually as a costume element, occasionally not. DC seemed to rule the roost for this one, but we only scratched the surface. Who can you come up with? To start: Golden Age Starman.

To be fair to the guy, though, so many people want to deny him those credits, I'm not surprised he's a little jerky about it all. I probably would be too in that situation, after all these years of having to fight for recognition for what I had done.

DC should just change its name to Batman Comics. I thought they overdid the product, but no, it really is all customers want. Come on guys, why pick such a recent run as King when we've got cool stuff like All-Star Squadron that's never been reprinted in colour to do? Haven't we got enough Batman to choose from?

Yeah, and funny thing was, I was thinking about this after reading about the upcoming DC omnibus poll (I didn't know it had already started), and I thought to myself 'I'm surprised The Terrifics never got omni'ed', well after rereading the first 6 issues I can see why!

Thanks mate. It's a constant battle.

Convergence: World's Finest Comics 1-2: not the greatest story. It doesn't even feature half the team. Most of the team. I bought it for Crimson Avenger, and he does come out on top with a few panel appearances. Pass. Flash (Jay Garrick), Green Lantern (Alan Scott) and Sandman (Wesley Dodds) #1-2 of each. Flash was really good. I enioyed it. Green Lantern was also good, really nice homage to the his history. He was pitched as Alan Ladd, Aladdin, get it? Editor thought it was too on the nose, so they went with Alan Scott. In this book, he is Alan Ladd-Scott, a nice little nod to creators intent from oh so long ago. An interesting premise, also one I'm looking forward to continuing. Sandman - carpy. Just not very good. Nothing to hook you. Hope it picks up and quick, as those first 2 issues are utter misses. JSA Classified #34 - Fun done-in-one Hourman story starring Rick Tyler. If you're after the best, go for the 2 parter that's issues 17-18 or 18-19, starring Rick and Rex and Bane, it's a treat. Such a good, fun story. Cannot praise it enough. Justice League United #1 This is issue 1, but part 2 of a story? Nuff said. Shame, as it seems fun, with great art, good characters, well written, but part 2? Go straight to comic jail. The Terrifics volume 1 tpb: collects issue 1-6. I loved this when it came out, and there was no Fantastic Four. Now though, it's not so special. I'm back to hating Plastic Man, being very iffy on Metamorpho, so that leaves me loving Mr Terrific, and liking Phantom Girl. And the plot wasn't super strong. Hmm. To be continued, to be fair. Plus I've got about 15 issues of Morrison's JLA, which I'll review as one when I finish the omnibus. If you're wondering why I've slowed so much, my doctor prescribed me a new anxiety med, and it has a habit of knocking me the eff out. :lol: Seriously I sleep all day on it. We're trying to find the right dose, so I haven't got as much reading done as I'd have liked. I'm up to 380, not counting anything Morrison.

Congratulations to the guys in the tiebreaker, and well done to everyone who took part. I'm throwing up a big middle finger to anyone who came for my last spot. I hope you all learnt a valuable lesson. I'm NOT letting go of it.

Good luck guys.

Nice, I'd been hearing these rumours for like a week now. Great to know they're true. I'll absolutely be getting these. Can't wait to finally replace those tpbs.

Poll is up for what DC Omniboo people want to see most. Please vote, note it closes tomorrow, so get your votes in! This is an official vote btw. Please, if you need something to vote for, include All-Star Squadron!

So not as good as Duke?

Mike Deodato Jr.

I do wish he still owned Youngblood. That last series was so good. And no, he had no involvement in it besides B covers.

That's Emma Frost by the way. You know, the absolutely beautiful, drop dead gorgeous Emma Frost. Yeah....
