11:55 am [mosellegreen] [Link]	The introduction of Giganta THIS IS ONE OF THE CRACKIEST WW STORIES EVER. The story reveals Marston's usual lack of compunction about deus ex machina and, shall we say, casual grasp of science. Remember that he was a psychologist, with more than a hint of the huckster about him. His editor revealed years later that "if I had let him put in all the symbolism and stuff he wanted to, the stories would have been even weirder." The mind boggles. This story was 36 pages long, so there are lots of scans, 9 pages worth. Good thing, because I didn't want to have to drop any of them. Also, you can see Silver Age Giganta here.

12:24 pm [sherkahn] [Link]	Can I at least get some lube for that, please. Well, the moment is here. A certain someone returns to Peter Parker's life, as of the end of SP #600. Newsarama has spoilery previous if this was handled with care or if the mythology and lore of the past 20 odd years continues to be violently, brutally, bestiallity violated. You be the judge.

03:11 pm [sir_razorback] [Link]	Randomness! After the Arkham post, I went poking around to see if I could find more images related to that game. Since the internet is actually made out of rabbit trails though, I found something different. Came across a page with some really odd stuff, and thought I'd share a few with ya.

04:59 pm [starwolf_oakley] [Link]	LETHAL LEGION #2: Dark Reign and Continuity pr0n. Frank Tieri is an underrated writer, and underrated "continuity pornographer." Dan Slott is best known for continuity porn these days, since Keith Busiek's focusing on ASTRO CITY the fast few years. But Tieri can bring the continuity porn as well, as he did in WEAPON X and EXCALIBUR. Now he brings the continuity for us to slobber over again in LETHAL LEGION #2. A lawyer named Livingston is visiting a group super-villains in the Raft to get the full story on an attempted kidnapping. And the attempted kidnapping victim was Norman Osborn. In this issue, Livingston talks to Wonder Man (!) and the Absorbing Man. ( Joaquin Phoenix and Jack Murdock are mentioned. ) Tags: char: absorbing man/carl creel, char: grim reaper/eric williams, char: wonder man/simon williams, creator: frank tieri, creator: mateus santolouco, title: lethal legion (25 comments \| Leave a comment)

07:49 pm [galateus] [Link]	Wonder Woman and Robin's shared interests Thought experiment: Has DC found an excuse yet for Wonder Woman to tie up the Boy Wonder? (If they haven't, is it because the resulting bondage explosion could not be contained by mere ink and paper?) Googling for the two only turned up some relevant news about one of Diana's potential(ly bondage-themed) upcoming storylines.

07:56 pm [dr_hermes] [Link]	Going past the theatre for eighty years I almost always like little vignettes like these, showingh the passsage of time while telling a story. Here it just seems to be the eighty-odd years of a man's life spent in the same town. The most obvious changes are the cars and the theatre, but the types of movies shown show how our dreams changed as well. You might also say the condition and upkeep of the buildings and street reflects the man's well-being, too (or maybe the other way around). It's all fairly poignant. This is from the seventh issue of ECLIPSE, back in November 1982. I don't know anything about Kevin C Brown, and google has let me down, but his style looks familiar... maybe he did something for NATIONAL LAMPOON?

10:11 pm [arbre_rieur] [Link]	When Alan Moore was crap The 90s has a rep as a bad time for mainstream comics, and rightfully so. It was some terrible black hole of awfulness, sucking even normally decent writers into its depths. It was almost as if anything produced in the 90s (yeah, yeah, there were a couple of exceptions) would automatically suck, simply because it was 90s, and if a comic was made in the 90s, it was going to be terrible. Because it was the 90s. Even Alan Moore managed to be complete crap in the 90s (though he recovered towards the tail end of that decade). Some of his work during this period is really appallingly bad. As evidence, I present to you the two-lane pile-up in mini-series form that is Spawn: Blood Feud.
