Just a half hour ago tonight just now whatever I re-read my copies of Marvel Milestone Incredible Hulk # 1 and Spider Man Classic # 1. Anyone know if the Gargoyle was brought back to life or not? Not to my knowledge, but his son, the Gremlin, was in a couple of storylines in the mid-1970s. I think it was #163 and then #186 to #188. |

I mentioned earlier on this thread that I'm still reading 1970s Sub-Mariner. I'm up to #34! It's so cool! And on other threads, I mentioned that I'm reading The War that Time Forgot in Star-Spangled War Stories and also the 1980s Doom Patrol. I don't think that I've mentioned that I'm reading 1960s Captain Marvel. I read the tryouts in Marvel Super-Heroes #12 and #13 and I read the first two issues of the Captain Marvel series. Such nice Gene Colan/Vince Colletta art! It's an OK read but I have to admit that I'll probably be a little happier with it once I get past the Super Skrull. |

I love those early Captain Marvel issues. I find his origin very interesting and he is one of my top three favourite characters. He is the Superman I wish Superman was. A much more endearing and interesting character for me to read about, personally.

Mar-Vell beat him by holding up a mirror just as he was using his super-hypnosis and the Super Skrull hypnotized himself! What a chump! But it's about what I expect from the Super Skrull, so it's kind of hilarious. |

This book is borderline "classic", as it is only about 9 years old at this point, but I borrowed the Planet Hulk Omnibus from my local library to read on my vacation. Overall, I felt the story was pretty well-done, and I'm looking forward to seeing how they incorporate the various elements from that story into the upcoming Thor movie.

I enjoyed Planet hulk, but the best thing about it is still the Ladronn art and covers. I'd love a framed print of every one of them minus trade dress.     -M |

Started a re-read of Alan Moore and Eddie Campbell's From Hell last night and read the first two chapters. By God, it's good.

Marvel Premiere #61
Star Lord vs an entire planet. Moench story and Sutton art. Though I couldn't tell. I am usually a fan of Sutton's art, but this story doesn't have the usually flair his art has. Story was good, I guess. Nothing spectacular but the kind of look at existence of all creatures that we sometimes fail to remember.

I first read From Hell when it first appeared serially in the Taboo anthology horror magazine. Man, it seemed like it was never going to be finished. My favorite Alan Moore work, tied with Watchmen, Top Ten and probably two or three other Alan Moore stories. |

From Hell is one book I'm glad I waited to be finished and collected in a single volume before reading. I agree that it might be his best, though of course there's some pretty stiff competition with Watchmen, V, Promethea, and others. |

Marvel Premiere #61 Star Lord vs an entire planet. . .Story was good, I guess. Nothing spectacular but the kind of look at existence of all creatures that we sometimes fail to remember. Yes, I remember picking this up at a 7-11 on a day when the comic rack was exceedingly bare. Sci-fi is not generally my thing and I'd never read a Star-Lord tale before, but that story stuck with me. IIRC, the tale is told twice; once from the perspective of Star-Lord and again from the POV of the "planet." I found it rather poignant and reminiscent of Richard Matheson. |

As Star Lord sees it, it seems as though the planet itself is trying to attack him and/or stop him. Then he sees the history of the inhabitants on the planet. Then forms his own opinions about what happened. But when we see it from the planet's perspective, after Star Lord frees himself and is safely contemplating the planet's fate from Ship, we see it wasn't at all what it appeared to be from Star Lord's perspective. And what saves the planet might very well be the kind of existence, most wouldn't give much consideration; Ship. |

Since last night and earlier today Ive been re-reading my old 1993 issues of Spider Man Classic. Yeah they're reprints of the first couple issues of original Amazing Spider-Man, but Im still reading original Amazing Spider-Man issues pretty much technically.
My personal favorite issue of Amazing Spider-Man is the first debut of Lizard/Dr Connors. That and Spidey getting headbutted alot by Sandman
