Stavros Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 Issue 4 of Spider-men is another great one. At 5 issues this series is WAY too short, I can only hope it's the first of several crossovers between the 616 and Ultimate universes.

Koete Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 If they don't do a crossover between the 616 and Ultimate Hypno Hustlers, they are leaving money on the table. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stavros Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 I'm not sure the 70's ever happened in the Ultimate universe, so that might not be possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenny Evil Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 Gah! 2000AD is doing a national signing in September on a weekend where I'm out of the country! What's more is that Mark Buckingham is signing in Bristol, so I'm missing out on my chance to have my copy of Miracle Man: The Golden Age, which is already signed by Neil Gaiman, signed by him! Now there's a first world problem for you: I can't get my comics signed because i'm on holiday in France! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stavros Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 Huh. A team that's 3/4 women. Regardless of whether it's Hank Pym or Eric O'Grady under that Ant Man helmet, there's going to be trouble. Although I suppose Scott Lang is alive again.

Dan Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 In other sad news Britain's longest running comic the dandy is facing cancellation after its circulation fell below 8000. We don't get The Dandy in America, but I have to give serious respect to a comic in continuous publication since the late 30s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenny Evil Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 Yeah, 75 years is a pretty good run but it's just so maddening to see the old excuses of "kids have more things to spend their money on these days" when the real damage was done 30 or 40 years ago by editors and publishers who became complacent with their sales and never bothered to evolve the industry until it was too late. Basically there's now only one title left standing that produces original material for kids. There's nothing to bridge the gap between humour titles and 2000ad or the American titles.

Stavros Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 Not to sound uncaring, but it was the sister comic to the more successful Beano which is only 6 months younger. I always saw the Dandy as the Beano's backup redundancy. They're basically the same thing, same archetypes, same humour. I mean, it sucks that the run is over but even as a kid I found sci-fi action-oriented stuff far more to my liking, I can't remember anyone reading the Dandy.

Missy Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 The guy comparing Kubert to Paterno is a troll trying to increase his page clicks (RE: ad revenue). Please don't read his column, otherwise he'll make money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missy Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 By the way, I'll sum up his so-called point: Joe Paterno covered up child molestation. Joe Kubert molested the legacy of Watchmen. Also, both their names are Joe. The End. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stavros Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 That's some 1966 Batmanesque reasoning there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
