That One Comic We All Remember
October 4, 2012 10:29 am X-Men #1 (Lee/Claremont) Bought it in a 3-pack my first day of high school. I used some money that was supposed to be for school supplies. The panel of wolverine popping his claws through the front of Professor X's yellow hover-chair made me realize that comics were not as 1 dimensional as the superhero cartoons that I grew up on. From that point on I was hooked.

Pick of the Week #327 – John Carter: The Gods of Mars #1
March 26, 2012 2:05 pm I have managed to get a picture of Lou Ferigno without him noticing, and subsequently tearing my arms off. Although this could make a good tumblr page. CandidShotsofLouFerigno.com anyone?

What Will You Remember?
March 13, 2012 2:55 pm Here goes:
I'll remember the first 3 comics I received from my mom before a late summer roadtrip in 1983. (Night Force, Power Man and Iron Fist, and Arak Son of Thunder).
I'll remember my next 3 comics X-Men (Claremont/Lee) 1,2 and 3. Purchased in a set at a Wal-Mart when buying school supplies for my freshman year at high school.
I'll remember Wolverines claws and fist smashing through the front of Professor X's yellow floating wheelchair during a training exercise in those same issues.
I'll remember the maniacal laughter of the Joker in the Killing Joke and Dark Night Returns.
I'll remember the power of the Shazam lighting scenes in Kingdom Come, and the small trickle of blood running from Superman's nose.
I'll remember all the huge changes during the first age of Apocalypse.
I'll remember how the Devil's Due GI Joe Issue 1 immediately brought back memories of endless hours with my GI Joe toys in a basement in Pittsburgh.
I'll remember the very clever use of powers to gather clues in Identity Crisis.
I'll remember when THAT happened in Walking Dead 48.
I'll remember Brave and the Bold 33, when it went from slightly confusing to "Oh! thats what they're doing."
I'll remember the water flowing under the diner door in Scott Snyder's Detective Comics. As Jim Gordon talks to his psycho son.
I'll remember the first time I saw the linework and art in Korgi.
I'll remember trying not to cry while reading the end of I Kill Giants.
and most recently I'll remember the girl at Orlando Megacon dressed as Skeletor. But that's my alone-time reminiscing.

DC Histories: Night Force
March 7, 2012 2:09 pm One of my first comics was a Night Force comic. We were going on a road trip and my mom bought me 3 comics to read in the car (I was 6). I think it was Night Force #14, Powerman and Iron Fist #97, and Arak Son of Thunder #25. Apparently It was Sept 1983.
