Oh, so you're including people like Tyroc then? Wasn't he back in his kingdom by that time?

Ah well, I'll re-read it if only to forget the horrid reimagined story that had Darkseid vs. Darkseid in the recent Legion run. Ugh.

OK, I did a little more digging. The question, as originally asked was:

Which active Adventure-era Legionnaire didn't participate in the Great Darkness Saga?

So the answer isn't Tyroc (and apologies for screwing up the question).

Oh, this one, I remember it now. I also understand now why you said I wouldn't get it by re-reading the trade...

I just read the first two issues of this book and this comic is the most fun thing to hit the stands since She-Hulk. Say what you will about Marvel, but they know how to bring the funny. I just hope Kirkman can keep up the quality...and do some DC work.

I'l pass on that b/c I have the crazy massive Earth X Limited Edition signed hardcover that comes with the sculpted translucent, outer-skin box and two compact disc containing a ton of cool digital & audio/visual material. I can't even describe how insane this hardcover is, it is over 500 pages. The CDs are awesome, they have a narrative track, a score, & a video with fully realized Earth X live action & animation.

So yeah, I'm a huge Earth X fan, & I don't like "what if" type stories at all but IMO this is the greatest one Mavel has ever done (outside of the little known brilliant Warren Ellis 2-parter called Ruins).

I really enjoyed the first couple issues too, but now I think I'm dropping the book soon. I don't like the way it's a never-ending continued story and feel like it just spins its wheels. One of the things I liked about the old school MTU was how the stories were fairly self-contained. The Punisher/Blade issue was really awful, basically a dialogue between the two that could've been done in three pages in the context of a better story. It's a shame because this could be a great comic, but there's something not clicking for me.

Wow, I'm surprised by this. This is the main reason why I think MTU is so good, every single comic Marvel published are nothing but self-contatined stories now, neat compact, & ready for a trade. It drives me nuts, I like the long on-going story that carries over & makes you want to buy the book in a monthly format. My only complaint with the book is the constant use of Spider-man, Kirkman has the entire Marvel universe at his disposal, enought with Spider-man.

dear god, i am blown away. i got the first three walking dead trades today and i just finished blowing through all three in one sitting and :jawdrop: HOLY CRAP!!! they were good. if invincible is anywhere near as good as WD, then it's gonna be a great month next month when the HC arrives.

Yes, Invincible is just as good...no, BETTER than The Walking Dead.

Sessa, I can't believe you actually own the LE Earth X hardcover. Wasn't that crazy expensive?

By the way, since nobody cares about my trivia question besides fujishig, and he says he already knows the answer, I'll let everyone in on the secret.

The only active, Adventure-era Legionnaire who didn't appear in the Great Darkness Saga was ....

Shrinking Violet!

Did anyone here read the first THE BLACK FOREST? If you enjoyed it, you'll definitely enjoy the second one. I've posted an interview and some preview pages. If you're into a little fun vampire adventures, check it out.

Oh, and Kevin, glad you're on board WALKING DEAD. That's a great book.

Holy crap, according to his checklist, the only stuff he's done in over 5 years is a 7 page Metabarons story and a few covers. Oh well, thanks for the site, I really loved his work on Wildcats.

Just got doing the same this weekend (actually had to run around to find the third trade). Very much enjoing the comic, quite engrossing. Looks like issue 22 is coming out this upcoming week. That woould be mean 2 more issues before another 6 issue trade would be collected. What is the normal time-frame on this particular comic as far as trades go?

you can pick up the LE Earth X book at tales of wonder for $35.

The art for this HC is only in B&W, correct?

yeah that hardcover is only in b&w, but the new one coming in August will be in color but missing the very cool bonus discs.

NM, I was thinking of the Crisis Hardcover. The first edition that cost $100. Why was that thing so expensive?

Thank you! Now one of my favorites. I hope the guy's there.

So, is a meeting of DVD chatters scheduled? Otters and what not?

addingThat Spacegirl art is AWESOME! I'm only 2 panels in, but the first one blew me away and the second one sealed the deal. The introduction was so humble, too. I didn't expect that.

adding againHoly Crap!!! Now on page 8 of SpaceGirl (I stare for a while when the art's this good). This guy is like Michael Golden. Unsung and completely great! When I met him last year, I told him how much I loved his work for WildCats and he said something to the effect of, "Yeah. I pretty much ruined that book."

I mentioned the fact that I didn't care about the story and bought it for his art. His humility terrifies me.

I met him on Sunday ('04), about an hour before the floor was shutting down. He was still shading a penciled drawing of Wolverine for a fan. The drawing (seen upside down) rocked Hell. Free T-shirts aside, my main goal this year is to see if I can afford an original by this guy. I'm thinking Bullseye (my formative villain/ I like to throw things into things).

I just got my order on Friday w/ the new Previews book and was shocked when I saw that. $100 is just silly. There is way too much other stuff available that month such that I couldn't even consider picking up Crisis:

Dark Horse is kicking ass:
Curse of Dracula
Goon Fancy Pants Edition
Chosen Tpb
Tarzan: the Joe Kubert Years HC!!! (I had no idea this was even coming out!)
Samurai Executioner 8

Then the rest:
Shazam/Superman 1
JLA tpb 17
Sgt Rock Combat Tales (I dislike Digests but c'mon, it's Rock)
Showcase Presents Superman
Showcase Presents Green Lantern
History of Violence
Ultimate Spider-Man HC 6
Black Panther HC
Punisher Max HC 1
Avengers Serpent Crown tpb
Essential Spider-Man 7
Powers tpb 7 & 8
Complete Peanuts 4
Complete Jon Sable tpb 3
Grimjack Killer Instinct tpb

Plus other misc. stuff, I'm up to $268 at mailordercomics.com

I can't wait for this month.

Can't tell you how excited I am about this. I'm a huge ERB fan and hope this is as cool as I think it'll be. I hope there'll be some special features for that price, but if not...oh well.

I don't know about extras. I'm picturing a Marvel Masterworks/DC Archive type compilation.

Now, if DC would just collect Don Newton's Captain Marvel (Shazam) stories!!! -pray-

Another great issue of Gotham Central this month. That last panel was something I never expected to see!

i haven't read this but I saw the cover. It seems DC is really putting the heroes through hell and kicking their asses these days....

Gotham Central has always kicked people's asses. But in a good way.

What's Gotham Central?
