So I spent the weekend at Baltimore Comic Con. The con was crazy busy this year, possibly because Stan Lee was in attendance, playing the Wizard of Oz by hiding behind a black curtained area. The aisles were pretty packed on Saturday. I was reminded on occasion of SDCC horror stories when everyone was lining up ahead of time for his panel and the ( Read more... )

likeadeuce has done a similar post so I don't feel so bad about posting this. I am starting to flail a little over comicsbigbang. Well, not flail exactly, as much as throw up my hands and ask "Where is my plot?" The only answer I'm getting is more snow. *sighs* I've spent the last hour or so pulling together notes on the Legion idea, which means reading far more Superman ( Read more... )

Remember the part where I worried about signing up for comicsbigbang and getting hit with a different idea? Yes, that part hit me last night in the flush of the Legion of Super Heroes news. Damn it, Projectra, what do you think you're doing? Maybe it's the through link in my head between the Levitz years, the Lightning Saga, and the current Superman storyline ( Read more... )

The DC Comics annnoucement glee just keeps coming: Paul Levitz to write relaunched Legion of Super Heroes. He'll also write Adventure Comics. The artist is Yildiray Cinar, a Turkish artist known for a run on Noble Causes. The revamped costumes aren't bad so far. I'm curious if the awful Sensor Girl redo is included in this group or another

First, the glee, Paul Levitz wrote a lovely DC Nation column about returning to the 30th Century. Maybe it's the mental image of Levitz poking his head into editor's doors and asking obscure Legion questions... I do feel for him ( Read more... )

This is certainly the year for massive changes in the comics industry. First the Disney/Marvel merger and now DC Comics has changed gears. I'm still not sure whether the changes are for the better yet. Whenever the discussion is all business-speak with maximizing and prioritizing as major words and describing brands/characters and other media, I ( Read more... )

Smallville Legion promo: The Legion three look pretty good actually. There are *sigh* worthy stuff, but well it's Smallville, I've sorta seen this coming for awhile.

Smallville keeps finding ways to drag me in, even for an episode or two. This one actually makes sense. Technically they are part of his life in Smallville, albeit a different version.

Comic Book Resources posted an "exit interview" for Jim Shooter on his run in Legion. Oye. Chuck Dixon's departure left me saddened for all the additional readers that were loving Robin and Outsiders again. Shooter's interview wants me to disappear back to my old Legion longboxes and never return to current continuity. I actually forgot to have my ( Read more... )
