If you aren't familiar with his work, he had an absolutely LEGENDARY TWELVE-YEAR run on the Incredible Hulk (#331 to #466) and an equally good run on X-Factor (#70 to #89, vol. 3 #1-50, 200-262, All New X-Factor #1-20).

He was also responsible for the Star Trek: The Next Generation novel "Q In Law".

I just learned little nemo adventures in slumberland is based off a comic. Loved that feverdream movie as a kid, doesn't really holdup as an adult because of the annoying side characters sadly.

Went 20 years not knowing it was based off a comic book.

New list is up! Kept giving me an error 500 but looks good now.

From World Of Minor Threats Welcome To Twilight #3 - Loving the Minor Threats universe

Into The Unbeing Part Two #4 - maybe, I'm missing a few of these already due to my shop's recent issues.

RoboWolf #1 - Looks ridiculous, I'll at least try it.

Moonshine Bigfoot #2 - Shit I still need to read #1, decision pending.

Whatever Happened To Crimson Justice #1 - Whatever Happened To ROBOT JONES?! Idk what this is but if the art looks good I'm in. I'm sure it has nothing to do with the similarly named cartoon, but the name is why I noticed.

Well that's all for me, what're you pullin'?

Feeding Ghosts is a good read, glad she won the Pulitzer!

Interesting bit: She doesn't consider herself a graphic novelist, this just seemed to be the best way for her to tell the story.

Good stuff to look for:

Geiger #14 - Part of the Ghost Machine imprint, all good reads.

Golden Rage Mother Knows Best #2 (Of 5) - Golden Girls meets Hunger Games. The OG 5 issue run was great, looking forward to see where this goes.

Huck Big Bad World #1 - Mark Millar's Huck is back. Superman crossed with Lenny from Of Mice and Men.

Space Ghost #12 - Been digging SG, Herculoids, and the SG/Jonny Quest crossover.

Ultimate Black Panther #16 - Ultimate X-Men #15 - I have to admit, the new Ultimate Universe stuff is getting old. Seems like they're just spinning their wheels.

Uncanny X-Men #14 - Still not sure what Marvel is trying to do with the X-books anymore.

X-Factor #10 - Final issue.

Reading crisis on multiple earths and Johnny Thunder seems like a really interesting character/concept. Basically his own genie? The powerscaling would be difficult but fun, I like how he just goes back and ruins the heroes origins so they don't exist anymore. Did think it was odd when he replaced superheroes with gangster counterparts by giving them their origins and that it worked for replacing superman too. Was he not an alien baby yet when that came out lol?

Some people want to be loved weird, "I wish that everyone would love they want to be loved"

Seems like taking away choice forever for everyone?

It's implied other humanoid species existed like lizardmen but a human made a wish to wipe all the other ones out and make humans the dominant/only species in one of the last times genies came. (Its just one panel where they say they wish the opressed were the opressor and another with lizardman having wishes in the past) Kinda fked up those species just dont exist anymore and don't get wished back lol.

I'm assuming apocalypse does something like this? (going off the movie where he evolves/upgrades some mutants)

I already know of dr manhattan, just read Divinity from Valiant and really enjoyed it's take on a human -> godlike being. Specifically where they have and exert power over reality, rather than just having more energy to pew at a higher scale.

I always find godlike stories more intresting when it isn't just them fighting at a grander scale and they actually use godlike powers to manipulate reality. Also when they start off as humans, arent born gods and haven't already existed forever.

New list is up! Let's see here..

Jumpscare #3

Let This One Be A Devil #3

Free Planet #1

Moon Is Following Us #9

Well that's it for me! What're y'all pulling?

They all have no last names, instead their middle name is their last name, and its singh, this is sometimes the case but it is fairly rare compared to them having last names and the middle name kaur irl. Every woman seems to be a singh tho, even the wives of singhs are singhs.
Is it just accidental misrepresentation?

Woman have the midde name kaur, very rarely singh, and they still have last names. Also find it odd how no Singh is ever religious or seen as a sikh when its very uncommon for them to be that way irl, even agnostic its a cultural identification, not about religion. Just find it odd how often Singh is used when they make an indian in any comics not just superhero related, but nothing about them is singh, they more represent indians fron any other state?

The accidental misrepresentation has irked me a bit since i heard of khan noonien singh, like its reversed, the mughal khans and sikh singhs killed each other quite a bit, and they made the middle name a last name and the last name a first name. Just a foreign exotic scary sounding name I guess. Apparently the crestor couldn't remember their cab drivers name so they made some weird mashup of brown ppl names. Like naming a villain Christ Muhammad , or jesus alluh

I have never read comic books until the last month in which I read the Invincible Series(by Robert Kirkman) because I wasn't patient enough to wait for the show lol. After that, I've read a few more Graphic Novels, and now I'll try venturing in the marvel comics, but there are so many, and I don't know how to start, what to read, what not to read, order of reading, idk, I just really need some help. I'm in the final stretch of the The Walking Dead Series, and would love to, after finishing it, dive right the way into the marvel comics.

Id personally like literature/imagination materialization. The whole concept of powers not being controllable, manifesting beings more powerful than yourself really appeals to me.

For artifacts the H dial is my favorite. I love seeing different unique powers, outfits, etc. and always liked the idea of following the same person with different powers everytime they tried to use them.

Thought project superpowers was a fun read, reslly like the idea of modern writers/artists bringing now public domain superheroes back to life

(only a few of the MANY are pictured here.

Feel free to post your comic shop finds here!

I just picked up the 2025 Facsimile reprint of The Amazing Spider-Man #129, the issue that introduced the Punisher.

I genuinely appreciate the old art and the old school coloring. Seeing it freshly reprinted on quality paper rather than faded in an original old comic really kicks up the effect of the colors.

The heavy use of blue on black with sharp definition rather than modern digital gradients is a great look for the Punisher's costume.

The plot of the issue is simple, the Punisher is hired a Spider-Man villain called the Jackal. The Punisher is told that Spider-Man is a murderer.

Even in this first appearance, most of the core pillars of the Punisher are laid down. He is a marine veteran on a crusade against crime. He has a strong sense of justice which is what ends up putting him at odds with the Jackal when he discovers the setup against Spider-Man.

The below panel has a little bit of the Jackal's body unintentionally poking out of the panel. The book is full of these small imperfections and the panel borders are clearly hand drawn.

A great dynamic panel of which Marvel was famous for.

Another great panel with bold colors and minimal but evocative backgrounds.

Consent is important.

More dynamic Spider-Man posing.

The Punisher shocked that Spider-Man doesn't realize he is smack in the middle of his right goddamn mind.

New list is up! Looks like a short one for me this week!

Planet Death #0 - About a 0% chance I get my hands on this, we'll see if anyone near me gets it..

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles The Last Ronin II Re-Evolution #5

Lost Fantasy #1 - Don't know much but looks interesting enough.

Seasons #4 - Might be missing three, gotta remember to check..

Free For All #1 - Looks like I missed the first printing, whoops!

Well that's it for me this week, what're you pulling?

Or give life to inanimate objects? Was rewatching doom patrol and I really love the concept of bringing imaginary characters like gods/monsters to life being a power or pulling inworld comic book characters off the page and bringing them to life like flex mentallo?

Looking for series or stroylines/runs related to world hopping, just whatever yall found interesting or your favorite ones, I know its fairly common. Looking for basically isekai western comics, doesn't have to be superhero, really like the idea of superheroes in a fantasy world/realm (the inverse with them being heroes is fairly common)

Where they unlock their powers over time or have to earn them, have multiple powers or powers that get signficantly stronger over time til they are op.

Just read new superman and it was fun seeing the progression fantasy theme of him unlocking/earning/learning the powers instead of having them all at once.

Rogue sun and Radiant Black were fun reads that fit what i'm looking for.

Invinicible would loosely this catgeory since he gets all his powers at once and gets stronger over time but its the same powers, but everything else about it is progression fantasy (getting stronger over time, stronger villains, higher stakes, etc.)

Timed to Shakespeare Day, Joe Quesada is announcing ‘Undiscover’d’, a new line of comic books from Amazing Comics based on the timeless works of the Bard.
