Out of the Vault – Scout
So last week, I talked about Airboy, the 80’s revival, published by Eclipse, of the 40’s Hillman character. Two things about Airboy that bear repeating in reference to this week’s title. Number one, as mentioned last week, Airboy was an … Continue reading
Death Wave Final Preview
So I decided to give you one more small preview of Death Wave, just because the early chapters I previewed still feel somewhat light, and I want you to understand that the book gets much darker later. So here’s a … Continue reading
Super Movie Extra – Live-Action Superdickery
So I’ve often pointed you to this site which uses mainly comics covers to show that Superman is a dick. But we have a really good example in live-action in Superman IV: The Quest for Peace. Superman has already gratuitously … Continue reading
Super Movie Monday – Superman IV, Part 1
So last week, it was mentioned that Supergirl was the last gasp of the Salkinds’ interest in Superman as a property (at least in theaters; they did come back to produce a syndicated Superboy series in later years). But four … Continue reading

Out of the Vault – Raika
Got a little tired of the Ultraverse after a month, so I’m going to move around a while. Raika was a ninja manga that published a 20 issue run in 1992. It was published by Sun Comics, and and was … Continue reading
Noir Tuesday: Death Wave, Part 1
(ETA: It’s live now. Click the pic on the right sidebar or go here) So I’ve been hinting for a while about super-cool secret projects in the works. This is the first one. Death Wave, a noir thriller, is going … Continue reading
Super Movie Monday – Supergirl, Part 1
I really wanted to cover this in one week, but I’m too long-winded, so it looks like it will stretch to two. If you bothered to read the synopsis of Ilya Salkind’s abandoned Superman III idea, you know that it … Continue reading
