espanolbotThere are a thousand tales in Gotham City, this is only one of them...

...and then there was the time when Dr. Strange led a mutant cult and engaged in cannibalism.

Did you ever wonder what Archie Comics would be like if Ed Brubaker wrote them? No, neither did I.
Four scans from Criminal: The Last of the Innocent #1, the latest installment of Brubaker's excellent crime series.

One Perfect Moment: Norman Osborn
Aug. 1st, 2010 06:34 pmproteus_livesGreetings True Believers! This is my last post for OPM week and it's one of my favorites, for two reasons.
1. This issue of "Spider-Man's Tangled Web" features one of the best parts of any comic-verse. The villain bar. I love scenes of villains just hanging out, grousing about heroes, comparing notes and relaxing. Which is why I included a few scans of just that.
2. This story is an example of the fact that Norman Osborn doesn't need a costume, glider or control of an international martial agency to be one of the scariest motherfuckers on the planet.
Enjoy!

Comics of the Decade
Nov. 25th, 2009 03:19 pmhoubanautOver on The A.V. Club, they just did a run-down of the best comics of the decade. Along with the additional suggestions made in the comments thread, it's a pretty marvelous list (the A.V. Club's comics coverage skews slightly away from the established superhero comics, compared to this community). It's certainly given me a bunch of things I want to check out.
( Hey, we can all agree on this one at least. Right? )
What are your favorite comics from the 21st century's first decade?

The Halls of Fate, Part Three
Oct. 17th, 2009 05:52 pm![[identity profile]](http://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/openid.png){kind=small}
neuhallidae.insanejournal.comIn the last chapter of our merry tale of What The Hell, we were treated to a boatload of genetic and esoterical confusion, courtesy of the Hawkfamily, a demon, a wizard, and Dove. In this chapter, we get more build up, a lot of supposed therapy... oh, and plotholes. Big ones. But after the first two chapters, you should have seen that last one coming. Twenty three pages from six issues. I tried this time to limit the ranting. Sort of.

The Show Must Go On
Aug. 13th, 2009 06:41 pmcyberghostface.insanejournal.com
This was brought up numerous times in the previous Amazing Spider-Man thread, so I decided to post it once and for all. In my opinion, it's one of the better Chameleon stories out there. Not surprisingly, Marvel has all but forgotten it.
On a related note, this was the first Spidey story written by Paul Jenkins. He would later become the writer for Peter Parker Spider-Man and Spectacular Spider-Man.
porringer.insanejournal.comSo, without you guys at s_d I never would have heard of Blue Beetle, or Booster Gold, or Mr Miracle, or Big Barda. I never would have been at my first ever comics' fair, looking through boxes. I wouldn't have looked at the section labelled Mr Miracle and I would have missed
HOLY SHIT, YOU GUYS! THE MOTHER LODE!
50p each! I was very restrained and only bought 8 issues.
( See some of the awesome moments from issue 7 :) Many pictures )

More Bat/Cat Stuff
May. 3rd, 2009 03:55 pmsailorlibra.insanejournal.comEventually, we're going to run out of Bat/Cat stuff. Fortunately, that time has yet to arrive. Here's a look at Brubaker's take on the famous costumed couple from his Catwoman run.
HEYYY YOOOU GUYSSS!!!
