ADEVENTURES OF SUPERMAN #644 and Request: SACRIFICE epilogue

[starwolf_oakley]

The posting of IDENTITY CRISIS led to a few Epilogue posts, which led to mention of SACRIFICE. Max Lord mind-controls Superman. There is a vicious fight with Wonder Woman. Diana gets her lasso around Superman to free him, and then gets it around Max. Max says "You can't hold me forever, and next time I'll make him kill Batman or Lois or you." When asking how to prevent this, Max says "Kill me." And Diana does just that.
But I am requesting the epilogue to this. In WONDER WOMAN #220, Diana goes to Batman to explain everything, and Batman just says "Get out." ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN #643, Superman goes to Batman, Batman says Diana told him everything, they bicker about the Brother Eye satellite and the OMAC drones. Batman finally says "Go home to your wife, Clark."

X-Force #15 (final issue) - "Us Vs. Them"

"Down in the grimy underwear of it all I wanted to pose a quiet problem for the readers. I wanted them to see this team in action, to cheer them on, to buy-into their goals and feel thrilled by their methods. And then very... very... very... slowly... I wanted to adjust the camera and show people exactly what they'd been rooting for." -- Si Spurrier

We all know that Batman hates rock & roll, but what music does he like? Apparently, disco.

Ikigami: The Ultimate Limit (A series about delivering death letters)

[informationgeek]

Viz Media has brought over and translated a lot of good books, though I would say some of their best and most mature books they bring over often fall under their Viz Signature. That's where all the of adult, smart (well usually anyways *coughTerraFormarscough*), and dark books usually end up under. Let’s spotlight one of these mangas, which actually ended just last year. Meet Ikigami: The Ultimate Limit!

No story is written in the same way everywhere.

Secret Files of Project Black Sky's third story, The Ring, made this point.

It began not with the alien who lay dying in the wreckage of his ship, or the test pilot who succeeded him in bearing the titular focus of willpower, but with those who went looking for the latter.

( They found him with the former's power burning green on his right hand, like the light in a lantern..  )

The Marvelous Madness of Mr. Moore: Doctor Who

[lego_joker]

Right about now, I'm at exactly the right age to start pursuing all the Classics in comic-book history in hopes that I'll become better at winning arguments with other comic book nerds on the Internet. And when it comes to the Classics, there's only one name for someone as myopic as me: Alan Moore.

Sure, Moore's star has faded for many fans today, but his mastery over dialogue, pacing, and plotting alike still leaves roughly 80% of comic-book creators today in the dust, and I've never read more than a fraction of his work. No time like the present to fix that.

And since I'm an obsessive little bastard, I insist on poring over (almost) every little bit of Mr. Moore's extensive bibliography, starting from the very beginning. I'd originally planned on doing this series in strict chronological order, but I quickly realized that that wouldn't quite work, so I'm doing it by franchise instead - though still in rough chronological order. And because all reading and no discussion makes Lego go crazy, I invite all of you well-read S_D'ers to come read along with me.

We'll be beginning with his five backup strips for Doctor Who, a series that I know and cherish well, as is mandatory of every geek on the Internet. Seriously, it's about a space cop who goes flying around in a phone booth fighting the Borg, right? Right?

( Behind the cut: my first real contact with Doctor Who. Thanks, Alan! )
