I found out the Adams X-Men TPB existed AFTER I started repurchasing his '80s and early '90s classics like the New Mutants Special, X-Men Annuals 9 and 10, and Mojo Mayhem, which I got him to sign last month. (Then I found out he also drew X-Men Annual 12, which I bought after the fact.) I also found Fantastic Four…

I read the hardcover too quickly to return it to the library, so I don't remember it well enough. That's on me.

As much as I have enjoyed Saga, Fraction's Hawkeye, and believe it or not, Judd Winick's Justice League: Generation Lost (which would have led into a perfect new JLI series until the New 52 derailed everything), I think my FAVORITE would have to be Sex Criminals… and I've only read the first two TPBs, since the third…

I've read complaints that there isn't much "movement" in Noto's art, but that's okay. His faces, poses, clothing, settings — all of those elements are second to none. I can tell he's learned from graphic designers, photographers, advertising illustrators — more than just fellow comic artists. And his women are all…

Noto was a local (Orlando) guy for a while, having worked as a Disney animator. I met him almost a decade ago at an in-store signing, and he drew me an awesome Blue Beetle head sketch on a backboard, which I really need to get framed.

Then you probably wouldn't like the second trade any better. It was almost a TV show, to the point where they filmed a pilot with Michelle Forbes as Miranda Zero. I've never seen it, but it's out there somewhere.

Howard Chaykin too. Arguably the best artist of the '80s, but that was 30 years ago. And then there's Frank Miller, but the less said about him, the better.

Gotta admit, those were all great.

I live near a used bookstore with a few copies of the Longshot TPB discounted to $8, if you're interested. I almost bought one, but I realized my public library had it, and I'm glad I read it for free first.

That's fair, but I'm a sucker for whenever "case of the week" shows shift into overarching plots, like Person of Interest and Fringe.

Agreed, and I don't even like Quitely's art. The rest of Multiversity left me cold, though.

This week I tore through the hardcover volumes 1-3 and 5 of Mark Waid's Daredevil run (my public library has had volume 4 on order for several months, but somehow got 5 in sooner), and finally read Ann Nocenti and Arthur Adams' original Longshot miniseries from 1985. Adams is one of my lifelong favorite artists, but…

I liked Authority when I was first getting back into comics in the early '00s, but it hasn't aged well at all. Ellis and especially Millar wrote them as violent bastards who were specifically written to be able to beat anyone, especially those boring old DC and Marvel superheroes. Unfortunately, Authority was a…

That's my wife's hairstyle. She usually dyes it some shade of red (nothing too extreme), but last time she went for black.

I really liked her bob hairstyle in Ant-Man. That's almost always a hot look.

I've wanted a GOOD Rocketeer figure ever since 1991 (when I was already in junior high), but as great as this one would look in my 6" DC and Marvel display, I can't pull the trigger on something I know is gonna be chintzy and fragile.

And the Funko ReAction Rocketeer would fit in pretty well with Joes and Star Wars figures (same 3 3/4" scale and simple/retro '80s-style sculpt):

Cliff is an even bigger douche in Stevens' sequel to the first Rocketeer comic, "Cliff's New York Adventure."

You all can probably find last year's Funko Legacy Rocketeer figure for $20-$25 now:

I always thought this forgettable Cobra driver from 1987, WORMS, had a great Rocketeer-like helmet:
