Maybe I missed this, but did "The Game," the Lois Lane story by @gronbekk.bsky.social in Batman: Brave & the Bold, ever finish? I saw the prologue in issue 10, but did I miss the rest? #DCU #DCComics #dcuniverse #Superman

One of my favorite pieces of original art: Mike Deodato draws a double page spread wherein Tony Stark confronts the Hulk! From Incredible Hulk #72. Got this at Pittsburgh Comicon 2004. #comics #Marvel #Hulk #IronMan #MikeDeodatoJr #MikeDeodato #art #originalart #comicart

Loving Batman: Full Moon, @bishop1888.bsky.social! But for us Killadelphia fans, where is issue #36? Any word?

Welcome, Anti-Grimm @mickmartin182.bsky.social! Your Hulk-brethren have been awaiting your arrival!

Not worth that much, but I think this is the earliest comic book I ever had, that I still own. Yes, it surprises even me. And I know it will also surprise @dallanb.bsky.social. #Conan #ConanTheBarbarian #comics

Can any #Batman fans reading the current Brave & the Bold series shed light on the weird intermittent appearances of Lois Lane? Felt like an ongoing thread starting in #10, and she was mentioned in solicits, but the issues never feature her. What's going on? #comics #dccomics #dcuniverse

In honor of the 61st anniversary of the airing of the 1st episode of #DoctorWho, here's the only piece of original art I own featuring the Doctor - or rather, 5 Doctors, plus a certain Dr. Banner, aka the #Hulk! By artist par excellance @jkwoodward.bsky.social !

Why are Trump supporters not wanted ? You dont have to follow them. You can block them. You can filter words. Don’t you want @bsky.app to have all perspectives ? I certainly do.

As long as it’s civil. Why not welcome different viewpoints ?
I don't understand Trump supporters. Why come where you are not wanted. It's odd. Witness me syndrome in the worst way.

Is this legit? So weird.

Contrary to many I believe it's a bad idea to block as first resort, with the exception being clear malevolence or bad intent.

I believe isolating from others of a different political bent is wrong in general and has caused recent events. We should do better, be better.

I'm oddly at that place in my #comics collecting where I don't have any more mountains to climb. Time to knuckle down & actually read!

Behold: all my Action Comics, from #241 through last week's #1075. Add 12 issues outside the normal numbering, and I'm at 847 consecutive issues! #wow #Superman

To those new around here, who come across me through coincidence or intention, hello! I'm Gary, and I'm into comics, music, movies, and barbecue, among other things. You'll probably see me discuss more of "A" and "C" and occasionally "D." I'm looking forward to engaging with you. Welcome!

I did not have "Mister Mind as HHS Secretary" on my 2024 bingo card, but here we go. #iykyk #kakistocracy

I'm back after an extended leave. Once this place gets group chats, I'll be all the way off the other one.

What's happened meanwhile? Not much. My job went to Mexico. Many applications, few interviews.

But at least - with 2 reprint placeholders - I've got every Superman comic since mid-1958.

Yay?
November 15, 2024 at 1:58 AM
As I complete my run of Superboy back to the Silver Age, I'm curious: how many times has a popular super-hero had a series devoted to his present-day exploits released concurrently with another regular series devoted to his adventures in another time period? I know of at least one other. Thoughts?
March 8, 2024 at 12:10 AM
Here I am tallying up the major #Superman characters whose introductions I WON'T have after finishing my collection from mid-1958:

Superman
Lois Lane
Perry White
Jimmy Olsen
Jor-El & Lara
Jonathan & Martha Kent
Luthor
Mr. Mxyzptlk
Prankster
Toyman
Ultra-Humanite
Krypto
Lana Lang

And that's it. 15.

Happy New Year, everyone!

This holiday season I went on a tear. A thread full of pics for the curious...

Added 15 issues of Action Comics to the ongoing collection...
December 31, 2023 at 11:59 PM
This is nuts.

I own every issue of these 7 series from the #s below. I'm actively collecting back to 1958, the consensus year Silver Age Superman began.

I'm 3 books from having all 12 centers & all books pre-FF #1. Missing only 6 appearances of the Legion of Super-Heroes.

Again: this is nuts.
December 10, 2023 at 9:28 PM
Hi, friends!

Outside of Amazing Spider-Man, is there a Marvel comic series one can own with 800+ consecutive issues like DC?

Action Comics 270-1059 (790)
+ 2 #0 issues (792)
+ #1,000,000 (793)
+ #23.1-23.4 (797)
+ Future's End (798)
+ Convergence #1-2 (800)
+ Knight Terrors #1-2 (802!)

Bananas!

I went to the Scottsdale Comic Show yesterday and did a thing.

I got 23 new books in my quest to own every Superman comic from the start of the Silver Age on up. That means I have 159 books left on the list. And this time, I picked off a BIG one.

What do you think, sirs?
November 19, 2023 at 7:49 PM
I started thinking of graphic novel collections I want to see. These are in no particular order, and far off the beaten path.

1.) Batman & the Outsiders Omnibus (collecting B&tO #1-32, Annual #1-2, Brave & the Bold #200, New Teen Titans #37). Enough with trade collections leaving it incomplete!

Friends bailing on the MCU should see The Marvels, a fun, breezy romp that's colorful, funny & full of heart. I enjoyed it far more than its prequel. As for those saying the continuity is impenetrable, try telling that to my family, who haven't seen Ms. Marvel or Secret Invasion but still enjoyed.
November 12, 2023 at 12:44 AM
Well, now it doesn't matter which one you say is the first appearance of Darkseid. I own them both! (But only because they're both Superman appearances!) I've owned Jimmy Olsen a few years; Forever People is new. A terrific guest appearance in this one, even if Kirby didn't draw Supes' head.
