cgcsketcherz Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 (edited) #'s 301- 317 Darkwing Duck The Definitively Dangerous Edition: Collects Darkwing Duck #1-16 & Darkwing Duck Annual #1. Great story arch where Darkwing Duck comes out of retirement where all villains and normal civilians have to work a 9-5 job in little cubicles to take the fight to all of his original foes, and new foes as well. Darkwing gets back his old girl friend only to lose her again, his daughter goes to a private school, he ran against Launchpad for mayor and lost. (Launchpad only lasted 20 minutes before he resigned and the city was physically ruined.) Overall, it was a great read, and I love how James Silvani slipped in characters or mashups from the Disney universe into the side characters. He does great mashups! 683......

cgcsketcherz Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 #'s 318 - 319 Scooby Doo # 118 (1997 Series): One of the personal artist copies I got off of Tim Levins for purchasing original Scooby art pages. Love the second story more how it is a spin off of the board game clue and they are trying to find the missing mystery dinner host. The first story is a spin off of a house remodeling show only, the gang has to get rid of the ghost of a ex-gangster before the house could be remodeled. Daredevil #112 (1964 Series): Daredevil has to take on the Mandrill who is threatening to use a Atomic Bomb in NYC if he isn't proclaimed president of the United States of America. Mandrill can control/hypnotise the female population including an old girlfriend of Daredevil, Black Widow. The day is saved though by Daredevil. 681.......

Raze Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 246-248 It came out on a Wednesday 1 and 11 These are OK sci-fi/horror anthology books. Are they worth $1.99....I guess. Detective Comics 982 This is related to Batman The Cult. It is a oneshot that takes place well after the cult. I really liked it, and the art was great!

Raze Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 (edited) 249-254 The Dollhouse Family 1-6 I like Joe Hill and when I saw that he got his own line of horror books at DC I thought Id give them a try. Joe Hill is only doing 2 books but I thought Id check them all out. This one is by M.R.Carey. I liked it but it didnt blow me away. From mycomicshop.com On Alice's sixth birthday, her dying great-aunt sent her the birthday gift she didn't know she always wanted: a big, beautiful 19th-century dollhouse, complete with a family of antique dolls. In no time at all, the dollhouse isn't just Alice's favorite toy...it's her whole world. And soon, young Alice learns she can enter the house to visit a new group of friends, straight out of a heartwarming children's novel: the Dollhouse family. But while the Dollhouse family welcome her with open arms, in the real world, her family life is becoming much more complicated...and deep within the Dollhouse's twisting halls, the black room waits, with an offer to Alice. The house can fix all this, the black room says. All she has to do is say the words... Longtime collaborators Mike Carey and Peter Gross (Lucifer, The Unwritten) are joined by Vince Locke (The Sandman), to bring their most horrifying vision yet to Hill House Comics-a story that echoes into centuries past, into Alice's tormented future, and into the beating heart of the madness that makes up our world...literally.

Talapas1 Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 513-548 Thing 1-36. I managed to pick up the complete run for under $50 and I’m glad I did. The first few Byrne issues were featured some amazing wordsmithing, and while Wilson’s pencils aren’t going into my top 10 favorites any time soon, they were serviceable and I don’t really have any real complaints. I loved seeing the thing out on his own, though when Byrne left, the story suffered a bit. It did pick up towards the Wrestling arc, though it felt that some plots were never really wrapped up. All in all, it was a worthwhile read. theCapraAegagrus, Raze, Ken Aldred and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talapas1 Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 549-556 Usagi Yojjmbo 1-3: Really fun little story. I mean who doesn’t love little demon puppets? It’s been years since I’ve read any of his adventures but after reading this, I will be adding it to my pull list. Transformers Galaxies 4 & 5: The wrap up of the Devastator story and the start of a fun Cliffjumper Arc. I’ve really enjoyed the focus on characters who are often background dressing. There is some sympathy to be found for the constructions and some absolute horror about the insect icons in this title. Well worth the read. Ghost Spider 5: I realized that I never grabbed this one and had to go back for it. Jackal is a gross creep. All that needs to be said about this issue. DCeased Unkillables 1 & 2: I liked the original DCeased series and this one is almost better. This captures horror a bit better than Marvel Zombies, who became more of a joke. Excited for the next issue. Raze, Ken Aldred, Scrooge and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidTheDavid Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 (edited) 94 94. I enjoyed Bang! and asked my LCS to add it to my list. The writer is interested in pulp heroes and how those character types have iterated through pop culture for several decades. I don't know that it's going to be a breakout hit, but it intrigued me enough to keep me reading. Plus, I like to support Image and Boom!, so I'm always on the lookout for good titles from them.

srezvan Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 I just finished Exiles Ultimate Collection #1, which collects issues #1 - 19. Also "read" G.I. Joe #21 as an "interlude" to break up the long TPB. See what I did there? I really enjoyed the Exiles. Basically an ongoing "what if" series with some interesting stories. Not all of them were great, but I'll hunt down the other ultimate editions and add them to the reading list. It also inspired me to go back and read the other Age of Apocalypse books that take place after the major story line, so that is coming later.

Popular Post Talapas1 Posted May 28, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 28, 2020 557-608 New 52 Villains Omnibus I’d already bought the issues that I wanted from this when thy originally released, but this was such a good price I had to snag it. As with all stories that are done by different creative teams, this one has pretty hit or miss. Some stories did a good job of tying into Forever Evil and others not so much. I enjoyed reading it and the fact that it has a cool 3-D dust over pushed it into “really cool” territory.

Popular Post srezvan Posted May 30, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 30, 2020 Just finished Dragon's Lair - 7 issues from two different companies. Pretty entertaining. Google tells me that Ryan Reynolds may play Dirk the Daring in a Netflix movie. I think that makes sense. CrossGen released the first three issues, then shut down. The 3rd issue has poor paper quality and blurry printing. Arcana then re-released the first 3 issues into the new #1, then 3 new issues (#2-4), for a total of 6 issues.
