April 12, 2010 7:30 pm Managed to suck me in to want to see issue 3, which I wasn't expecting.

April 5, 2010 5:34 pm I like the look of the ads in the other Marvel books. Steampunk SHIELD is full of promise.

April 5, 2010 5:33 pm If it's as nicely put together as ESP's <i>DADOES</i> it'll be worth it.

March 29, 2010 2:26 am It still hasn't turned up here. Seems there were some problems with the order. Thought it might make it in last week, but still no.

Finally got to read all of The Singles Club. The issues kept disappearing at my comic book store before I got there, so only got to read about 3 out of 7. The way it fits together slowly, as you read each piece is the strength of the book, IMHO, but then I'm a sucker for that sort of thing.

Also, the back matter is worth the price of admission alone.

Springheeled Jack was a different thing. In fact, at one point it was used as a general classification for reports of people or creatures who could move quickly. Also, Jack the Ripper was 30 years after this story is set, while Springheeled Jack was reported throughout the 19th Century.

Good pick. Flagg! was one of the first comics I started reading back in the 80s.

I think what it shows is Chaykin's skill as a draftsman. The layouts are what make it work, and as you said on the podcast, the use of lettering (by Ken Bruzenak) is brilliant.
