January 30, 2012 3:11 pm Right on, Mike. That was... so choice. Congrats!

January 27, 2012 2:02 pm Piecing together some stuff I read a little while ago -- Simonson once drew a Captain Fear comic, and he's made reference to this recently in something with, ahem, pirate ships, he's working on... hmm, are those pirate ships up there... ? So... Batlash, Captain Fear... some kind of viking character...? Oh, I am in.

January 26, 2012 1:40 pm I like the use of the little triangular bit at the bottom when used in the "revolutionize" ad, and I get that it adds a "word balloon" feel to it, but... as a cover dress, that point at the bottom makes the logo feel to me like it's unstable -- like a top balancing on its point. But in general I think it's pretty decent.

January 26, 2012 1:36 pm I totally do. One direction it's an owl under a moon. The other, it's a chicken under a sun. :)

January 26, 2012 1:35 pm hahaha... oh man, Jim. I don't think I would've even thought about that too much, but now I can't stop. The parachute ejects from the TIP of the arrow. So you can't even lodge it IN something. IT would have to come out of the other end of, say, Cap's thigh and then eject... and all that would do would just rip the arrow clean through this thigh... The mind boggles.

January 25, 2012 6:50 pm I lived through this one. Discovered Truman's HAWKWORLD in... maybe 1990? So shortly after it had come out. I started picking up Ostrander's follow-up series shortly thereafter, and I really loved it. It was also my first experience with the retcon (the Fel Andar scene you reference above). Made my head spin, but I loved the Katar Hol character, and once they got past that it was really easy to ignore. But editorial wouldn't let it got, and they tried to use Zero Hour to fix it... sigh... this is one of those situations where the continuous stab at a cure is generally worse than the disease. The whole Hawk avatar thing in his subsequent solo series... ugh, I wanted to like it so badly, but it just kept getting worse and worse (though right at the end of that series, Priest and Howard Porter did a little final arc that I recall being kind of awesome). I like that the new 52 version of Hawkman just doesn't seem to bother itself with explaining everything. Unfortunately, they don't see to execute it in a very interesting way. I read one issue and just had no interest in continuing. Great job summing this one up, Jeff!

January 12, 2012 10:11 pm Sorry to clarify even further -- the FF didn't do this, some criminal type did. They came into possession of, I believe, the "4" emblem from Johnny Storm's FF suit... and because it's made of unstable molecules, they could use it to create a super hard drive of sorts.

January 12, 2012 10:10 pm That's just awesome. Love hearing creators talking craft and character.

January 12, 2012 10:07 pm They don't. It's a plot in Daredevil where someone used the unstable molecules in the "4" emblem from an FF costume to make a sort of super-database.

January 12, 2012 5:45 pm Also: in my head, this event will not be called "The Omega Effect." No, it will only be known to me as "My Dinner with Frank."
