What's looking good this week? Looks kind of light unless you're into a bunch of variant covers.

I've got:

Ancient Enemies The First Responder #1 - My monthly "Frank Miller pity purchase".

Hunger And The Dusk #2 - First issue was interesting, we'll see if it holds up!

Marvel Age #1000 - All the #1000 issues have been interesting so far...

Moon Knight Annual #1 - More of the action figure fight annuals. :( Not a fan so far.

Spider-Man India #3

Superboy The Man Of Tomorrow #5 - Nearing the end of this mini, all the new Supes books have been good.

Ultimate Invasion #3

Fall of X:
Ms. Marvel The New Mutant #1 - Everyone called it, so here it is!

Holding views that are fatal to modern society while enjoying its benefits… So hot right now! Maybe they’ll keep the dead half-husk of democracy that has all their stuff!

This is happening about 100 years before the girl's birth. The eponymous battle of King's Hold and the final conflict in the Third Corpo-Foss War.

I've been publishing a webcomic about philosophy for a few weeks. It updates about twice a week and tells a continuing story about a journey through the land of thought. Comments and feedback are welcome!

Looking at my pull list... What's on yours?

Batman The Brave And The Bold #4 - Not really a Batman fan, but this has been knocking it out of the park.

Big Game #2 - The Millarworld crossover continues!

Captain America Finale #1 - Putting a pin in the whole "Outer Circle" plotline.

Dark Knights Of Steel #12 - OMG It's finally over!

Fantastic Four Annual #1

Knight Terrors Titans #2 - Speaking of over, looks like this Knight Terrors thing is finally wrapping up...

Librorum Ridiculorum Compendium of Bizarre Books HC - Not a comic book, a book proper. Totally getting this.

Oddly Pedestrian Life Of Christopher Chaos #3 - Been a fun read!

Rocketeer In The Den Of Thieves #2

Unstoppable Doom Patrol #5 - Getting close to the end here too!

Fall of X rolls on... likely won't buy, but will at least look at...

I continue to be amazed by how humorous old super hero comics often were

I have been away from Marvel comics for a little while. Anything interesting coming out this week on unlimited?

418
 
 

I've been a comic reader on and off over the years but I wanted to really sink my teeth into it lately. I've read a few of the more popular stories. Most notably, Extremis, Hyper Velocity, and The End. What stories do you recommend to get into Iron Man more?

HOLY SHIT

This will probably not be as impactful to anyone but me, but:

And in 1974, Joe Simon and Jack Kirby β€” the creators of Captain America β€” took a spin on reviving the Sandman. This time around, the hero wore a bright red and yellow costume, and prowled the β€œDream Stream” in search of rogue nightmares, dispatching them with his magical pouch of dream dust lest they invade the dreams of children.

This Sandman only stuck around for a few issues, but a decade later his story was folded into a story in Wonder Woman. Even later, that story was folded into a story in Infinity Inc., a team book about the grown children of the retired Justice League of Earth 2.

And in that story, Hector Hall β€” son of Hawkman and Hawkwoman β€” became trapped in the Dream Stream and took over the duties of the Sandman. Eventually, he brought his wife, Hippolyta β€œLyta” Hall β€” the daughter of Wonder Woman and Steve Trevor β€” into dreams as well, where the two conceived a child.

These two characters both have their influences on The Sandman. For example, Dream’s black, elongated helm is an interpretation of Dodds’ 1940s gas mask, and the linking of Sandman to actual power over dreams comes from Kirby and Simon.

So: When I was a little kid, my cousin gave me a huge pile of comics when she was moving out to become an adult, and I always remembered just a single issue of them that was, well, Sandman. When Neil Gaiman's Sandman came out, it always was this totally unexplained Mandela effect or self-memory-glitch that I swear I read a pulp-comic issue of it from decades before it was created (very clearly the same, same type of "helm," multiple characters in common, the same).

On this very day one of the great mysteries of my life has been resolved.

First, though, you must become smart enough to know you're stupid.
