It’s Fat Week, day 2, and here I come with another installment of Hip-Happy Heroes, that rollicking look at the temporary fatnesses of the heroes of yesteryear. Today: it’s grab-bag day! Hip-Happy Hero : Aquaman Yes, even the beloved Aquaman was no exception to the rule that every character had to get fat at least [...]

Now I believe, left to right, that we are looking at Green Lantern, The Flash, Aquaman, Batman, Superman, The Atom and Hawkman. And now, left to right, I will review what they are wearing. Green Lantern If you were the Green Lantern, and your super hero costume was a high-collared green top and some black [...]

I love Metamorpho. Any creation of Bob Haney’s is a friend of mine. In Justice League of America #42, by Gardner Fox and drawn by Mike Sekowsky and Bernard Sachs, the League decides to extend a membership invitation to Metamorpho, but the Element Man is NOT INTERESTED. But first, a charming vignette in which Metamorpho [...]

So, I don’t really want to get into the two comics in too much detail, but there was a very specific problem happening with Justice League of America and Countdown Arena this week. Consider first the infinitely unlikely coincidence of any Tangent comics character being referenced twice in one week. Now let’s add the improbability [...]

I tried so hard to post every day this week, but I failed yesterday. I just can’t find time to do anything anymore. I did, however, get First Runner Up in The Coast’s Best of Halifax reader’s poll for Best Local Blog! So thanks to everyone who voted for me. I didn’t even know that [...]

Just a quick announcement before I get started. You might not hear from me for a few days (which isn’t too unusual these days). The reason is because we are scheduled to get slammed by Hurricane Noel tomorrow. Last time we got hit with a storm this size, we lost power for quite a while. [...]

Well, what a surprise. This week the reviews are late again. But this time it wasn’t my fault! For some reason I am having a hell of a time uploading photos to Blogger. I don’t know if that’s my internet connection’s fault, or Blogger, but it certainly is slowing me down. Let’s get down to [...]

I’m back from Toronto, aka The Big…City? Anyway, it was fun and we played and people liked us and we met Wanda Jackson and she was rad and I ate lots of good food and I finally went to The Silver Snail and it was awesome. And I saw a raccoon walking down the street! [...]

Man, there was so much throwing-up in my comics this week. Like, really. A lot. It was weird. Also, I read a lot of stuff this week, so I’m going to run through everything pretty quickly. I’ll just say that Avengers: The Initiative was really good. Sub-Mariner was good too. And Blue Beetle. And now, [...]
