May 18, 2012 9:43 pm You're referring to his remarks on the Neil Gaiman/Todd McFarlane lawsuit, I take it?

May 18, 2012 8:07 pm Jeff Lemire has gone on record saying he'd love to write a Punisher story, and a Wednesday Comics-style anthology would be a cool opportunity to let him do that. Marvel's weird and wonderful side characters aren't getting as much respect since the Cancelpocalypse, and a Wednesday Comics project would be a great way to reverse the trend a little -- kind of like they did with Strange Tales, but on a more epic scale. I'm thinking back to that James Stokoe Silver Surfer story in Strange Tales II and imagining how much more awesome it would have been if he had had newsprint-sized pages to work with.

May 17, 2012 11:47 am All great choices. I'd argue Thanos is one of the best Marvel villains not created by Lee or Kirby, and he's had some awesome stories told about him -- my favourite being Infinity Gauntlet, which was the first Marvel book I ever read in trade.

May 8, 2012 10:00 am Also: Has anyone here seen that direct-to-DVD Man-Thing movie from 2005? Is it as horrible as I think it is?

May 8, 2012 9:56 am I haven't seen Howard the Duck in a long time, but I thought it was fun in a cheesy way. Definitely not as bad as, say, the Reb Brown Captain America movies, or The Incredible Hulk Returns.

May 5, 2012 5:47 pm I came back with five (the store's per-person limit): Dinosaurs vs. Aliens (Liquid Comics) Peanuts/Adventure Time (Kaboom!) Buffy/The Guild (Dark Horse) World of Aspen 2012 (Aspen) Atomic Robo & Friends (Red 5)

April 20, 2012 3:24 pm Dang; that should be a 5 for story and a 3 for art. Mea maxima culpa.

April 13, 2012 11:47 pm @kebly You are correct, Wendigos have tails (not the furry sash-thing we see here), and also a longer mane of hair. This is indeed Sasquatch. If the sketch is from 1987, it coincides with the beginning of Jim Lee's run on Alpha Flight with Bill Mantlo. @y2kkev It's a damn shame they haven't reprinted the Mantlo/Lee Alpha Flight run. Alpha Flight in space, Alpha Flight versus the Dreamqueen ... it's one of my favourite runs besides the original Byrne run.

April 4, 2012 2:11 pm Seconded. The Toronto Trio is an unbeatable team where autobio comix are concerned.

April 3, 2012 11:24 am Northstar has a history in the circus, too. A circus of militant Quebec separatists, no less.
