Free Comic Book Day!
May. 2nd, 2009 11:53 amWe've been asked how much FCBD stuff is appropriate to post here. The books are free and some of them are being partially/fully made available online by the publishers and creators. So our official modly stance on how much of it we can post is: ALL OF IT BB. Keep to seven pages per poster, in order spread the love around, but we won't be enforcing an upper limit.
But do be mindful that FCBD is a promotional effort to bring new readers into smaller shops, and that's A Good Thing.

Over the precipice
May. 2nd, 2009 01:07 pmSo watching the BSG prequil "Caprica" many people have compared it to Fritz Langs " Metropolis" , But I see alot of Omac in it. A hedonistic society in the final stages of driving right off a cliff....

The Origin of The Shocker
May. 2nd, 2009 05:54 pmThis is my First Post so I thought I'd keep it simple and easy. I've read the rules and I hope this all goes right.
Here's the origin one of my (inexplicably) favourite C-list villains, The Shocker.

For some reason, this story wasn't included in the Onslaught complete series, despite being a brilliant story.
See how thing would probably work in reality for Cain Marko.

First attempt at this so please be helpful

Many of you are probably already familiar with randomguy's "I'm a Marvel and youre a Dc..." line of stop motion action figure awesomeness. I was delighted to find out he now owns a Deadpool figure...
When Cass was like Jason
May. 2nd, 2009 08:21 pm4 scans from Batgirl #07.
writer: Kelley Puckett, penciller: Damion Scott
Being to compared to Jason Todd, in the Batman mythos, is a Bad Thing. According to the orthodox editorial meta, being like Jason means being angry, badly trained, and reckless. Jason Todd is widely depicted as the Bad Robin - first he died, and now he's back, meta wants to make him "irredeemable".
It's generally admitted that Steph was like Jason. (Even Robins represent.)
( Before that, there was the time *Cass* was like Jason. )

Party in the Underground Universe
May. 2nd, 2009 09:11 pmYou know, I was going to say the X-Men look weirder than these denizens of the underground, but on second thought, maybe not. This is the cover by Rand Holmes to the 1974 book A HISTORY OF UNDERGROUND COMICS by Mark James Estren. Let's see who's at the party.

How the JLA got its name (!?)
May. 2nd, 2009 09:29 pmI can never quite figure out if this story is in continuity or not. I suspect that it isn't, but I like it, so it's part of my own personal canon.

er... what the hell kind of Batman said that ???? Break out the bat pom-poms and lead a cheer !
