Loved Sha Na Na as a kid, though. When the piano guy would try to play the piano key design on his shirts? Always got a laugh out of me. I mean, I was like 2 or 3, so an easy mark, but still. Grease for peace!

Oh, cool, I've never read this and always wanted to.

That being said, multiple Christopher Reeve Superman figures is not a bad thing AT ALL. Now get whomever controls Kirk Allyn's and (especially!) George Reeves's likenesses to get onboard!

I don't mind the "comic" look in theory but in practice I definitely fall on the side of the "they went too hard on the shading" people. NECA tends to fall into the same trap when they do this, too... the Superman vs. Muhammad Ali figures being a particularly rough example to my eyes.

Choose your top however many fave comic book runs/series. One per whenever for however long you feel, in no particular order.

Starman by James Robinson... superheroes, legacies, fathers, sons, families, and a whole lot of pop culture references

Oh, shit, that's right, ACD invented the cozy mystery. Never put that together until just now... while sitting comfortably in my living room as my tea steeps and WAIT A MINUTE

They make it pretty easy to upload the Goodreads data, IIRC

It's like an indie Goodreads. Social booktracking without Amazon looming over everything.

No one has ever gone that hard to the Jets. Not even the Jets themselves.

I'll keep saying it until the make it: Spider-Man and the Flash. Flash vs the Sinister Six, Spidey vs the Rogues, and personality wise Peter would mesh with Barry (sciencey) or Wally (jokey) equally well.

So true. Usually if Morrison falls apart for me, it's when they're not putting the connections of ideas in their head onto the page. Here they just went so... basic.

The X-Men themselves didn't feel like *my* X-Men, but the larger world they inhabited seemed like a more interesting place than Salem Center.

I think the strongest part of their X-Men run was the world building seen or even just hinted at outside of the school - NYC's Mutant Town neighborhood, Magneto as a Che Guevara-esque icon, mutant punk bands with names like Sentinel Bait and Nothing Can Stop the Juggernaut, etc.

Maurice Evans reading Winnie-the-Pooh must be amazing!

There aren't enough bad things that can happen to Susan Collins, but one of the very worst (for her) is to be upstaged in the press, so Janet standing up for my home state and being the talk of the town is pretty fucking excellent in several ways.

I keep hoping for a Spider-Man/Flash crossover. It'd be fun to watch the Sinister Six fight Flash and the Rogues take on Spidey.

I remain perplexed why, after re-establishing the multiverse, they kept Wildstorm as part of the main DCU rather than giving it its own Earth.

I've never heard that version before! Love it, maybe even more than the more familiar one.

It's the second issue, IIRC, so you barely even need to wade in up to your knees, storywise.

Secret Wars 2 isn't great, but it does have some memorable moments, chief among them Spider-Man having to teach an omnipotent being how to use the toilet.

Not only can you hear certain pictures, if you're really lucky the have a full wakka-cha-wakka score to them.

Add, for real, though, it was the thrill of the hunt for information that led me to the bibliothecary life in the first place(circuitously, as is fitting, but still).

Well, little nuggets of pure brilliance or cute pictures of people's pets, but in this particular case it was definitely the former.
