Conan the Barbarian #27

[iamrman]

Know this, O readers... These pages are from the second Marvel Conan Omnibus. I skipped the first volume because I don’t like Barry Windsor-Smith’s sub-Kirby art style in the early issues. John Buscema Conan Best Conan.

A Year In The JSA: 2000 (issues 11-12)

[knight_moves]

Time to return to the DC Universe, home of such farflung sci-fi concepts as time travel, alien life, and air travel that isn't entirely safe.

The Cancellation Gorilla: CCAHAZC #20

[tcampbell1000]

Slight warning for artful male nudity (seriously).

You probably don't need an introduction to Gorilla Grodd, but in my comics-reading youth, I knew him as the thief of joy.



Whenever he showed up in a series I loved, it meant that it was about to end.

( Can we get him to appear on GREY'S ANATOMY? It's not like he killed EVERY series he appeared in, but still, it's worth a try. )

Herding Cats: THE OZ-WONDERLAND WAR Chapter 1

[tcampbell1000]

Crossovers can be great fun. We often forget how great. The ones we get are often produced by amateurs, working off the same old characters who appeared in the LAST dozen crossovers we saw, trying to unite incompatible concepts, and/or a little too naked in their commercial ambitions.



Despite one of the most unwieldy titles of the twentieth century, Captain Carrot and His Amazing Zoo Crew: The Oz-Wonderland War Trilogy manages to avoid all those problems. (By the way, I am NOT calling it that for six whole installments: The Oz-Wonderland War is enough of a mouthful on its own. I might start calling it Oz-Dub-Dub, no promises.)

( 'Zoo/Oz' would've been a nifty palindrome, but oh well. )
