About three years ago, I took my two longboxes to a comic shop expecting to walk out with a wad of cash. The collection roughly spanned 1992 to 1995 (when I'd somewhat lost interest). The two issues I brought out first were Amazing Spider-Man #400 and Ripclaw #1/2. In short, I was literally laughed at (and the rest of the collection didn't fare much better). The Spider-Man issue they told me was worth the cover price (which is kind of impressive, I guess) but the Ripclaw issue was utterly worthless. I mean, I know Wizard is pretty widely-distributed, but you would think that being a promotional item nonetheless would give it some degree of a collector's value (like the Doom comic). <br /><br />Anyway, I <i>always</i> get a kick out of your "State-then-wait" bits where you say something ironic and then catch yourself with "wait, what?" (I know there's a better name for those kinds of jokes, but I can't think of it). Somehow, it never gets old. <br />Only point of criticism I've got is that I'm still not totally sold on the running gag of Link-sano's plots getting foiled before they have a chance to start (door-in-the-face, fumigation, and so on). I neither like nor dislike it at this point, but I'd say run with it a while longer.Crystanubishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00389586250831045241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5809126056034906096.post-46074738596799360142010-03-03T00:36:22.355-06:002010-03-03T00:36:22.355-06:00You made me laugh at Battlefield Earth.

What happened was that Moore worked at Image first, with Spawn, Spawn/Wildcats, Violator vs Badrock, and then decided to revamp Liefeld's Supreme. <br /><br />At this time Liefeld was having a fight with the other Image founders over business issues. Depending on who was telling the story, Liefeld either was kicked out of Image, or left of his own volition. (He returned to Image just about two or so years ago) Either way, he took his books with him, which included Supreme.<br /><br />So he ran Awesome Entertainment and Moore worked on several well-acclaimed reboots for him, such Supreme, Judgment Day, and Youngblood. Then Liefeld had some sort of financing problem and Awesome Entertainment went under.<br /><br />In the meantime, Moore was making a deal with Jim Lee to start America's Best Comics, where he'd write titles such as League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Tom Strong, Top 10, and Promethea. Unknown to Moore, Lee's Wildstorm was going to be bought out by DC. Moore wasn't thrilled but was willing to work on them until DC interferred.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5809126056034906096.post-54316265880580751182010-03-02T18:41:55.327-06:002010-03-02T18:41:55.327-06:00I really like your show, and I was wondering if y...I really like your show, and I was wondering if you have plans for what you are going to do with Harvy Finevoice.

Even when they were from creators I liked in series I enjoyed, they were just filler stories with some added behind-the-scenes stuff. That might have been a sell back in the day, but now you can just hit your favorite creators' blogs to see/read this stuff for free.<br /><br />I can see Marvel's point, too. Except for Grimm/Mr. Half-Mask, the rest are almost direct analogues to the FF (except the Storm siblings' powers were gender-swapped). Plus, I think that there was a guy who actually looked like Half-Mask in FF at the time who was also a guy from the future, which probably didn't help Marvel's mood (this was during Sue Richards' "4 logo as a boob window" era).

Does he have a time compressor too?<br /><br />I've been meaning to comment on this for a while, but I have a hard time typing with my sister's puppy in my lap. I was very surprised at seeing a brand-new supervillian <i>just</i> as the Mechakara story-arc resolved. I was kind of expecting three or four "normal" episodes before we saw another story-arc start. I'm not sure why I expected it. Maybe because the Mechakara story was so ingeniously paced, I figured we'd get some time to recover before diving into a new supervillain. Well, maybe Linksano isn't going to put us through the ringer like Mechakara did. (Seriously, that was some brilliant story-telling. You built it up so well, by the time we got to the last Ultimates 3, my heart was trying to escape from my chest. If Linksano <i>is</i> meant to be as epic a villain as Mechakara, I'd hate to see his story-arc get rushed.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5809126056034906096.post-8883246991635837562010-03-02T09:53:58.843-06:002010-03-02T09:53:58.843-06:00I had to find your blogspot just to congratulate y...I had to find your blogspot just to congratulate you on your great taste in showtunes. <3 for Linkara!Emilynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5809126056034906096.post-46791307298559492822010-03-02T08:48:13.634-06:002010-03-02T08:48:13.634-06:00Liefeld comparing himself to Alan Moore?

Obviously, we all know that Watchmen is amazing and great and all, but he's written a lot of other stuff too. I'm halfway through collecting the TPBs of his Swamp Thing run and it might be my favorite Moore story.
