One Perfect Moment: Daken and Greek tragedies

Sun, 05 Aug 2012 05:34:02 GMT

Posted by: blackruzsa

Whom I miss very much. I mean, this side of Daken in particular. The one who knows Greek tragedies by heart, who taught himself to read Greek as a child, who enjoys making people think he's something he's not, then shocking them with what he is.

( I just miss Dark Reign in general. )

The Green Goblin that nearly was.

Found this over here.

It has to be said that the Sam Raimi Spider-Man Green Goblin is... not a terrific design.

The term "Power Ranger villain" has been thrown at the design more than once, and that seems to be almost insulting to some of the Power Ranger villains.

( But what could have been.... )

Green Goblin performs on David Letterman

This is a little old (a week or so) but I haven't seen it here...the Green Goblin from Spider-Man musical performed his number with some friends on the David Letterman show.

There are no words for what I'm feeling right now.

Daddy Issues A-Go-Go with Peter Parker, Harry Osborn, and Vermin(?) in "The Child Within"

Fri, 22 Apr 2011 15:47:42 GMT

Posted by: thehefner

My favorite Spider-Man writer of all time is J.M. DeMatteis, and not just for the masterful Kraven's Last Hunt (which was posted here, but you really should read it as a whole if you can).

I think that I like him so much because he writes villains like broken people rather than evil monsters, essentially treating them the way Batman: The Animated Series treated its own villains. In fact, I dare say that DeMatteis wrote the definitive stories for not just Kraven, but also Harry Osborn. But between both characters is a lesser-known, little-loved original creation of his named Vermin, which brings us to this story.

1991's The Child Within is the missing link between Kraven's Last Hunt and Harry's death, and yet it's inexplicably never been collected and reprinted! It's a damn shame. Even besides the significance it has to both stories, and lays the foundation for Harry's final bout into Goblinville, it's a surprisingly raw and powerful look at abuse. Hopefully some of that will come across in the scans I've included here from this densely-packed epic.

( A tragedy of fathers and sons behind the cut )

The rest Harry's powerful story has thankfully been mostly reprinted in the Son of the Goblin trade paperback, but I urge you to track down DeMatteis' entire run of Spectacular Spider-Man from issues #178-200. It's a run that deserves more love, especially if the two recent posts about DeMatteis' Vulture story--the greatest Vulture story ever written, IMO--have gotten only a handful of comments each.

Eventually, I'm going to take a look at DeMatteis' Batman/Two-Face: Crime and Punishment, which feels to me like a condensed version of The Child Within. With that in mind, I think Vermin and Harry's stories shed new light on the nature of Harvey Dent's madness, especially as told by DeMatteis.

Am I allowed to feel special up here?

Because I just got a letter back from a writer, as opposed to the editor, of a comic book I've been following religiously up to now.

( Hooray, a letter! Also, slightly spoilery for Osborn #4. )

Now you've probably all see this at some point in the past. It was a ubiquitous little thing a few years back, and is still strangely hypnotic, no? (and I bet "Spider-Man: Turn off the Dark" doesn't have half as sleek a routine

An artist named Jessie Longeran, obviously feels that more characters should get into their groove!

( Not as animated perhaps but you could well imagine they were )

WHY CAN'T WE POST X-FACTOR?

Sat, 12 Feb 2011 05:32:00 GMT

Posted by: blackruzsa

Oh shush, I know why.

This post is actually about OSBORN #3 but I wanted to get that out of my system. I'm reading X-factor regularly and it's just SO AWESOME, especially the latest.

Oh Layla. Serious. Just wow.

Anyways, on to Osborn, which is also wayyy too good to not talk about.

EDITED: CUT DOWN TO FOUR PAGES.

Because I'm a moron who forgot the one month rule.

When the Sentry visited the Philippines: Dark Reign Agents of Atlas #1

Wed, 09 Feb 2011 02:22:32 GMT

Posted by: ficticons

For blackruzsa, who requested any of a series of moments mentioned in an article entitled "The Balut in a Superhero's Underpants".

It says that "[i]f the Americans have their Easter Eggs, we Filipinos have our Balut Eggs. (Okay, I just made up that term, but it seems appropriate anyway.) Balut Eggs are those moments when Filipinos (or something Pinoy) suddenly pops up in foreign movies, TV shows, novels, and comic books."

It goes on to list several of those moments that appear in American comic books. I was intrigued by one of them - in Marvel Comics’ “Agents of Atlas,” Mt. Pinatubo erupts again and Sentry flies in just in time to rescue a damaged Phivolcs helicopter - so I went to do a little digging and to my surprise, I found I had it.

( Three and approximately 3/4ths scans from Dark Reign Agents of Atlas #1. Also FYI: there's comic-book nudity in one of the scans )

Some people were curious about Mettle in the previous post, so I figured I'd post his "origin" story from Avengers Academy #4.
