Has anyone here read "Kill Shakespeare" by Conor McCreery ? It feels like a high concept book. Does anyone have any graphic novels/comic books suggestions that are high concept by any chance?

With that little head one would wonder what SQUEAKY LITTLE voice Superman would have talking. It's definitely not going to be the manly Superfriends Superman voice or even the Animated Series one. Perhaps it would be one closer to Michael Jackson or Mike Tyson.

Bogdanove... well I am not going to fault him. After all DC published it. So the two editors of the comic book, Mike Carlin and Dan Thorsland let it pass, so the fault is in them. Two editors... TWO EDITORS... this illustration got through two editors, and the editor-in-chief was Dick Giorgiano who had how to do comic book illustrations published. And Inker Dennis Janke should have spoken up and just redo the neck and head. And all would have been okay.

Does Marvel have any good WWI/WWII-era war comics? War comics are a huge blindspot for me, and while I've found some DC stuff (DC Goes to War, Enemy Ace Archives), the only Marvel stuff I'm aware of is The Nam. Sgt. Fury and the Howling Commandos. Then there's also War is Hell sort of World War 2 horror stories.

After re-reading the What If? issue "IF the Spider-Man clone survived" .... or something like that title...
I am almost afraid to ask this particular question, as the majority of internet articles and opinions was extremely negative especially the ones that experienced it. Luckily for me, I stopped reading comic books from 1988 to 2006, an 18-year hiatus.
My question is, regarding the so called "mess" that is the 1990's Spider-Man "Clone Saga", should I read it, or would you recommend that I didn't read it? After all, would it be a monumental waste of time, or are there at least some perks in reading it?
I appreciate the opinion on your take on this, so thanks very much guys.

In the mid-80's to late 80's/early 90's G.I. Joe was ridiculously popular... on second thought (courtesy of the movie Spaceballs) G.I. Joe was LUDICROUS in popularity. And Snake Eyes and eventually Storm Shadow as well were very popular and their popularity was off-the-rictor-scale. I remember these two issues couldn't even be purchased as they cleared the stands, and Marvel ended up doing second printings and I believe a third printing as well. And it was cool to have two different masters train them (The Hardmaster and The Softmaster). And it became an ongoing long sub-plotline that fans followed in the comic books for years where eventually the two find out it was Zartan who murdered their teacher, The Hardmaster. And when Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow form an alliance to bring Zartan to justice was a topic kids would talk about in grade school. I mean after all there was no internet or cell phones. The ones that could afford the computers at the time usually purchased the Commodore 64, and if the parents were upper-middle class, then it would be the Commodore 128 which was more expensive. There was still the Atari 2600 and I forgot what the other 4-digit Atari video game console was. And of course Colleco-vision. Nintendo would eventually debut and take over the video game market. Of course, the commodore 64 and 128 had their niche of kids sharing many video games via copied floppy discs as well. Hence comic books and morning and afternoon cartoons basically still had the kids' attention primarily as entertainment.

Just another quick question guys. I've been reading the Denny O'Neil Iron Man run. And as you all know, Obadiah Stane took over Stark International. Given that Tony pays for the Avengers' expenses, how come Stane (who took over Tony's wealth) doesn't put a stop to the Avengers' expenses? Unless I am missing something here? I'd really appreciate it thanks. The Avengers are funded by the Maria Stark Foundation, which is completely unconnected to Tony's industrial holdings and financially self-sustaining. Thus Stane couldn't touch t when he took over SI.
Cei-U! I summon the safeguards
Cei-U! You're the best! Ah so a separate entity named after his mom takes care of the Avengers. I didn't even know that. Appreciate the information very much. Thanks.

Okay folks. I've seen a worst somewhere here back a few years ago. How about something positive. What are your favorite limited series that you have come across, whether it's 4-issue, 6-issue, 10-issue, 12-issue, etc. issues.
