numeronone Bleeding Cool reports that the Ben Reilly/Spider-Man flirtation with Warren Ellis' BEYOND Corporation is to come to an end in March, with the most likely possibility that Peter takes on the mask once again for yet ANOTHER relaunch. And an old...'friend' of BEYOND is getting involved as well...

Tom Strong #4 - "Swastika Girls!"

With the ABC books I was trying to do comics that would have perhaps appealed to an intelligent 13-year-old, such as I'd been, and would still satisfy the contemporary readership of 40-year-old men who probably should know better. -- Alan Moore

icon_ukThere are some artists who were ahead of their time, or at least the printing process involved in the production of their art. Art Adam's is one of them, as this story from 1986 proves.
This is very much a case in point, you can SEE the colouring and printing process mangling this tale to hell and back, and that's painful.
This story, has, to the best of my knowledge, never been collected or reprinted, which is a shame as it really deserves a modern re-colouring and printing if any does.
Ann Nocenti was the creator and writer on the series which made Art Adams a name to be recognised; "Longshot", the story of a sort of naive, well-meaning alien dealing with the real world and finding the likes of moral ambiguity frustrating. Here we see something quite similar, using another handy naive, well-meaning alien... One of my favourites!
( Warlock! And Art Adams Warlock at that! )

icon_ukThis is a challenging one, because it varies on what the function of the team is. Do I need heavy hitters at JLA level? Do I need newbies like the New Mutants or Generation X? Do I want a team of well-oiled professionals, or do I want a team that is barely held together and does a lot of squabbling?
( My answer to all of those is, naturally; Yes )

icon_ukSlightly later posting due to it being the weekend and a LOT of soul searching going on for this one.
Again, this is a VERY tough one for me because I'm such an old fart and read quite so many comics during the process of becoming an old fart..
( and that is a LOT of comics... )

31 Days of Scans - Combo punch!
Dec. 4th, 2014 10:31 pmicon_ukI've actually been sort of torn on what to post the past couple of days since the same characters sort of fill multiple slots..
Favourite Male Character, Favourite Friendship, Character I would most want to bring back from the dead all sort of combined... (Look he was dead for so damn long (literal, actual DECADES) that I have a lot of "He's back?!?" inertia to overcome... I'll get there eventually). I should probably try harder to think of something new, and I may well do, but in the meantime, it's back to the old favourites.
Long time, or even relatively new readers of s_d should have no problem identifying who I mean...
The little mutant that could... and his slightly strange buddy! (and I'm STILL not sure which is which)
( Those adorable dorks - Cypher and Warlock )

icon_ukI had included this in my Fanart Thursday post, but since I've now had it confirmed that it IS an actual cover, I'm giving it it's own post! :)

icon_ukI got a happy posting the Alan Davis New Mutants Annual from 1986 a few days ago, so here goes with the companion piece X-Men Annual #10, this time with none other than Art Adams on art!
