S-T Posted December 22, 2020 Report Share Posted December 22, 2020 Regarding Mike's post on Twitter ... https://twitter.com/earth_2/status/1341218528691691520 I always thought it was to draw distinctions with the heroes. Contrasting primary colors of red, blue and yellow with purple, green and orange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-T Posted February 15, 2021 Report Share Posted February 15, 2021 This is hilarious. https://twitter.com/UrbanSpaceman61/status/1361177734437883905 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slothian Posted March 28, 2021 Report Share Posted March 28, 2021 Hey, comics readers - riddle me this. I'm currently watching through the first season of the 90s Spider-Man series (THAT season, not the 35 that followed) and I've watched the Scorpion origin story. Now in both the cartoon and, according to wikipedia re: the comics origin, Jameson basically turned Gargan into the Scorpion to take down Spider-Man. So my question: has Jameson EVER been jailed/held responsible for this, other than Gargan targetting him out of vengeance? You'd think that'd be quite disqualifying for him holding his brief as editor of a newspaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd think that'd be quite disqualifying for him holding his brief as editor of a newspaper. Jameson was able to keep his involvement in the creation of the Scorpion a secret for years, but he came clean when the Hobgoblin used it against him in a blackmail scheme. He did end up having to step down as the Bugle's editor-in-chief and eventually had to sell the paper altogether. (For a while. Because, you know, comics.)

Missy Posted March 28, 2021 Report Share Posted March 28, 2021 What about his hand in the creation of the Spider-Slayers? Did that ever come out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donomark Posted April 1, 2021 Report Share Posted April 1, 2021 I think it was public at some point, but I forget. However, Jameson's remained the publisher with Robbie Robertson the EIC ever since, that's not changed. Robbie's been running the Bugle for decades, and ever since Jonah got a heart attack and later became mayor for a while, he's not been at the Bugle for about ten years. Â BTW the 90s Spider-Man show rules but the first season is far and away the best. The animation is more consistent and great and Peter's sense of humor is super on point. He's such a huge smartass during the Spider Slayer story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davedevil Posted April 2, 2021 Report Share Posted April 2, 2021 The first and third seasons are the ones I feel are the purest Spidey. The rest get so bogged down in melodramatic character arcs. It's great in comics but not on-screen where he has to stop and angst in real time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donomark Posted April 4, 2021 Report Share Posted April 4, 2021 Third season is second best, absolutely. Episodes like Hydro-Man, the return of Venom and the Green Goblin sagas put it way over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dread Posted September 22, 2022 Report Share Posted September 22, 2022 I really made a promise to myself to calm down on comic spending. But then they had to announce this... https://www.dcbservice.com/product/sep221108/what-if-into-the-multiverse-omnibus-hc-vol-01-milgrom-cvr This is the What If? heyday. The best WI? stories (at least the top 10) are in this collection. After issue 39, there's like three or four decent issues. Good stuff.

Dread Posted November 14, 2023 Report Share Posted November 14, 2023 Two things I noticed about this month's Previews: 1. It looks like DC has found a suitable way to finish the Bwahaha era with respect, while also including a certain writer's work without mentioning his name at all in the solicitation. 2. I would have been the first in line for this release if I haven't spent the last FIVE YEARS collecting epic collections to complete Gruenwald's run on my own. Not sure how many copies of the omnibi they are going to sell at the 150 dollar price point when there's probably going to be four or five volumes. Especially since all the Gruenwald fanboys (see: me) have already completed the run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davedevil Posted December 18, 2023 Report Share Posted December 18, 2023 If you're cool with digital comics (in PDF and epub format so they're not locked to a single website), Humble Bundle has a bundle with just about every Hellboy comic.

S-T Posted March 15 Report Share Posted March 15 Question regarding the DC Universe: Do Green Lanterns get paid? Â Â Surely the Guardians of the Universe do not have an all-volunteer army, right? Â Â If they do get paid, how are taxes handled? How exactly would the Internal Revenue Service handle income derived from other galaxies? Do the Guardians withhold income taxes? Do they provide W-4 forms? Do they provide the lanterns a W-2 at the end of the tax year, by the January 31 deadline? Are they paid in American dollars or do they have to exchange their currency for dollars? How exactly would interplanetary currency exchange work? Â Â Notice I don't mention the taxes of other countries. This is not an oversight. Interestingly enough, all of the Green Lanterns of Earth are American citizens. Hal Jordan, Guy Gardner, John Stewart, Kyle Rayner, Simon Baz, Jessica Cruz and Sojourner Mullein are all from the USA. Â Â So no other country on Earth could produce someone worthy of being in the Green Lantern Corps? 'Merica! But seriously... I understand that DC Comics is based in the USA, but when you think about it, that makes no sense. The X-Men had a multinational team in the 1970's, and they are based in Massachusetts. Keeping things in the DCU, the Justice League had Justice League Europe, etc. The Green Lantern Corps are not even in the Milky Way Galaxy, IIRC.

The high likelihood of many of the Lanterns being from post-money societies tells me they get paid nothing. Earth Lanterns had to keep day jobs.
