Okay, finally got around to digging out a Marvel comic, Alpha Flight #22 (first series.)

Some context for our younger readers: At the end of the first year of Alpha Flight, their leader Guardian was killed off and the team largely broke up, so the next year focused on stories spotlighting one or two of the members, while advancing the various subplots leading up to the #25 milestone issue. Of course, keeping all the balls in the air means that sometimes a writer gets a little stuck, and in this case had to come up with a villain by looking at his eraser.



Yeah.

Seven pages of a 22-page story, plus a treat.

The title of the story is 'Rub-Out' )

If this is your rirst time at Scans Daily, a friendly reminder that we don't do fat-shaming here.

Your thoughts and comments?

SKJAM!

This issue begins the arc that John Byrne said he decided to greatly modify and cut short because the most recent Doctor Who season finale was too similar to his original plan. Since then, on his forum, he's been regularly taking bitter potshots at Who showrunner Steven Moffat and his work. It's hilarious.

I'm not quite sure what to make of 2011 as a year, it had it's moments sure but overall it's been sort of... "Meh" ... It's been more of a period of uncertainty and fluctuation rather than definite "things" (and the things we did have weren't always positive to say the least). The massive worldwide socio-economic/political efforts sweeping a lot of us individuals before them like leaves on a river hasn't really helped.

Even in the comics side of things it's been a little weird. Marvel with the crossovers and then DC with Flash-What's-The-Point and their daring and adventurous Really-Not-A-Reboot-Honest-Oh-All-Right-It-Sort-Of-Is has been a mixed bag for this old timer to say the least, some good stuff to be sure, but at the cost of a lot of already good stuff, and uncertainty about whether it can be maintained.

But I want to leave the year on, if not a high point, at least a cute one...

Be warned... here be chibis )

And for sheer Festive Crackiness

Batman and Robin meet Rudolph the Red Nosed Hitman... No, I'm NOT making it up )

A Happy New Year to everyone and may 2012 bring you all that you hope and some pleasant surprises too!

(Me, I'm just hoping that I can get through the bloody fuss over the Olympic Games without actually causing physical harm to someone)

Greetings, Mortals!

Fair Warning : This entry is about Darkseid's youth according to John Byrne. I hope you don't confuse it with the story done by Grant Morrison.

Darkseid, the Tiger-Force at the core of all things. His rocky visage be the aspect that makes us cry out in our dreams.

Newsarama is counting down the 10 most wish-we-could-forget moments in DCU history, and I missed this one.

Did THIS really happen?! Was I actually able to forget this ever occurred? Can I do it again?

Greetings, People from Planet Houston!

Today is the premiere of the film of Captain America and I think it will be fitting for today to post several posts related to our beloved Captain. This will be my first entry of several more to come. Right now we will witness the rebirth of the Red Skull.

Some fans think that Senator Robert Kelly's first appearance was in UNCANNY X-MEN #141, the first part of the "Days of Future Past" story that influences the X-books do this day.
But it isn't. He first appeared during the classic "Dark Phoenix Saga." He first appears on-panel two issues later in UNCANNY X-MEN #135 after being mentioned in issue #133.



How could a senator be important to the X-Men )

I was just reading the latest issue of the Future Fundation (Issue # 04) and found the following page quite amusing, my dear comrades.

Iin the Silver Age a common theme in Superman's Girlfriend: Lois Lane was her competing with Lana Lang for Superman's affections. Their first meeting in post-Crisis continuity was quite different, but in a sense it was a story that read like it would have belonged in the Silver Age.

Among DC superheroes Superman and Batman have always had a special relationship; they're not quite as close as, say, the Flash and Green Lantern, but they've gradually, over their publishing history, become known as close friends.



So how did this happen? In Superman: The Animated Series Superman and Batman first met(and discovered each other's identities) in the episode 'World's Finest'. In the (post-Crisis) comics, it happened in #3 of John Byrne's The Man of Steel miniseries.

Since the Silver Age Superman has always had a strict code against the taking of life. This one principle is so central to his character that when he accidentally killed a villain in Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow he immediately stripped himself of his powers and hung up his cape.

It is with this in mind that I show you what is perhaps the most controversial Superman story of all time, The Supergirl Saga, which depicted the only canonical instance where Superman ever killed someone in cold blood, and also featured the first appearance of Supergirl in post-Crisis continuity.

Some pages from back in Superman #20 (Aug 1988) where Cat Grant tries to seduce young Jimmy Olsen. Gave me a giggle.
