Yes, this. Very much this.

Somebody at a cable network really, really needs to pitch Strikeforce: Morituri as a series…

Gruenwald wrote both my favorite Captain America issue and my least favorite during his run. That still amazes me.

The story that he killed a Bill Mantlo pitch to have Peter Parker become a father of an illegitimate child because corporate would never go for it seems to be true though.

Strikeforce: Morituri really, REALLY needs to be revisited at some point. Really good high-concept idea.

And yet, the Beyonder's entry in the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe all but confirms it. Heh.

Doom 2099 is the reason I became a Warren Ellis fan. I miss that book.

Ostrander went partially blind, sadly, but I think surgery corrected it. Stern's still working, although, in a just world, he'd be writing as many books a month as Geoff Johns.

Mine too. So glad Marvel re-collected that recently, although it'd have been nice if they'd done so before I spent 10 years hunting a copy down in flea markets across the Southeast.

I'd actually bump that up to Sinestro Corps War, myself, since that actually is WAY better than it's hype at the time was. I think Johns' problem is that he's gotten more powerful than his editors, and the people who really, REALLY should be stopping him from doing certain things aren't anymore.

Nope… DeMatties did a GREAT Cap run immediately before Gruenwald's run began, during Shooter's early years, ending in the Red Skull's corpse being burned in a garbage dump by his daughter, eulogizing him with "Nobody will miss you." Perfect end for the Skull, and frankly, I hated to see him return. I actually think…

He has a bad reputation because the people he edited into churning out spectacular comic runs resented having their "creativity" stomped out to get rid of the dross, and everyone looks at what they did great and gives them all the credit. Looking at what they've been up to since tells the story of how BADLY they…

Best part of the entire story, other than his pawn Thundersword clearly being Steve Gerber.

Both! The idea was that the Beyonder, being, essentially omnipotent and with no idea what makes humans work, was scary as hell even if he didn't mean to be.

Agreed. Shooter may be a difficult guy to write for… Christopher Priest's story about his time on the Spider-Man titles and his poor King Conan run proves that… but he also knew how to get the best work out of people that desperately, DESPERATELY needed editorial to crack down on them, like Claremont, Miller, Byrne,…

Suicide Squad is confirmed before the end of the season, actually. Just waiting until Rick Flagg shows up as an old friend or rival of Diggle's… and there's no way that Captain Boomerang won't be the villain of the Flash episode. :)

Hey, I really like Dane… Stern made him a great character.

The Ron-George Washington bit is exclusively how I will describe him from now on.

I really LIKED that bit.

I'd have been willing to pay good money if it had been Ulysses Solomon Archer… or better yet, Razorback.
