Name: Erik Hanson

Bio: Started seriously collecting comics with 1983's Atari Force. Soon followed by Swamp Thing which opened the DC universe to me. Up until 1989-90 I was all DC, but I was seduced by the dark side of the force - namely X-Force and the early 90's craze of over the top art work and lack of story (see Image Comics). It would take DC's Preacher to bring me back to my senses. (oh by the way, that photo to the left there was taken of me at Zodiac Island at Lake Berryessa!)

May 21, 2013 3:41 pm G1mp, one is never too young to "Get the Led out" my friend. Start with Zeppelin II and from there go to the classic number IV album (which features the aforementioned "Stairway to Heaven") - by that time you will be ready to go back to Zeppelin III and enjoy that record's mellower tunes, but then jump forward again to Houses of the Holy. By now you will well versed in all things Zeppelin and be able to appreciate the rawness and naivete of Zeppelin I. Then after all that there is still Physical Graffiti and Presence to listen to - but by this time the group had lost some of its earlier edge and with the exception of the occasional Kashmir and Nobodys Fault But Mine, most of the tunes fall short. Got it? Good. =)
May 21, 2013 2:13 pm G1mp, I'm always on the look out for subliminal messages. You ever listen to "Stairway" backwards? Spooky shit man. ;)
May 21, 2013 1:24 pm I saw the preview of this issue and the art looked so so. Wasn't impressed. Let's hope Ostrander can make up the difference with a great story.
May 20, 2013 5:01 pm thanks Conor
May 20, 2013 4:43 pm Wait, on the cover it has Johns, Pelletier, and Parsons - but the solit says Ostrander, Garcia, and Hope?
May 20, 2013 2:47 pm Not everyone dislikes The Savage Land - but my abhorrence to it stems from I don't really like the Idea of a "Land that Time Forgot" type of island. I know this comics and shit but whenever a team or hero travels to the Savage Land I always feel like all the "rules" get thrown out the window. It's pretty much an excuse for artists to draw Dinosaurs fighting Wolverine. It bores me.
May 20, 2013 2:41 pm I know man, I gotta drawn the line at Batman "cock-blocking" Superman.
May 20, 2013 2:40 pm Very "Will Eisner, The Spirit" kinda brilliance.
May 20, 2013 2:38 pm Although I think Geoff's run on this title went about 2 or 3 years too long, I gotta say overall I have enjoyed the hell out of Green Lantern since Rebirth. Nice work Johns.
May 20, 2013 2:32 pm Ugg, The Savage Land.
