How many levels does Avengers Mansion have? How is Goliath actually fitting in there? |

Romance comic covers were so bitchy.....  I'm going to go out on a limb here and say Janie's reply was "It's because I don't drop 'em on the first date. She's known for it. As were you". |

It seems like DC has plans with LSH references popping up in the Rebirth titles. I enjoyed the Legion until the 5 years later stories and then the clones. The first Crisis threw a wrench into the Legion by removing Superboy and Supergirl Actually, that happened quite a while after the Crisis ended. At first, the Legion still remembered Supergirl's sacrifice, and Brainiac 5 believed for some time that Sensor Girl was really Supergirl resurrected. |

DC needs to make a decision as to what they want their DC future to be and build from that. Throughout the Bronze age it was stated that Kamandi's world was a definitive point of catastrophe and then the world of Hercules was the rebuilding stage and then the Legion was the revived Earth and that was a future open to whatever they wanted to do. Hang on, that can't be right; there was a two issue crossover between Kamandi and the short lived Karate Kid title which confirmed that the Legion and the last boy on Earth lived in two different divergent versions of the thirtieth century, set at exactly the same time! It was also later established (in DC Comics Presents #57) that the world of both Hercules and the Atomic Knights was just a virtual reality scenario being dreamed into existence by Gardner Grayle. |

I've been looking for a lot of reprints of things that would be too expensive for me in the original - so Marvel Tales for the early Spider-Man, Marvel Super-Heroes for the early Daredevil, Marvel Triple Action for the early Avengers, something I forget for the early FF, etc, etc. |

I think both Power Girl styles look good. As usual, much depends on the artist, and Staton makes the "windowless" version work well on that cover. I remember liking that Robin costume back when I first saw it as well - but almost anything would be an improvement on the original, IMO. Was it Neal Adams who came up with it? That's the style I seem to picture when I try to recall. Yep. That costume is a Neal Adams design. And originally intended as an updated costume for the Earth One Robin rather than his predecessor. |

Just read the first issue of Titan's Hook Jaw, which revives the man eating shark who was the star of legendary British weekly anthology Action in the mid 1970s.

There is no option for "I don't have toys." Well...of course not. Such a scenario is obviously inconceivable, is it not?  |

Did Mike Vosburg do a lot of the art? I really like his work. Voz inked himself. That must have taken a while to scrub off... |

Frank Gorshin's Riddler, definitely. Every appearance he made was a high point of the series.

Jay Garrick, the original Flash, is my all time favourite American comics character. I love the fact that he's just so optimistic and uncomplicated. He's a hero just because he's a nice guy, no other explanation needed!  |
