This is me. I've been quite enjoying learning about a character I don't know as well as the other big names in DC. Please keep them coming!Comment

I thought the Roy Thomas/Phil Mandrake series was one of the best post Crisis launches DC had. I never understood why it didn't take off.Places to find PlaidStallions online: https://linktr.ee/Plaidstallions

Well, it was jarring, after Newton's efforts earlier. I was fully prepared to support Thomas because I loved All-Star Squadron, but I didn't enjoy the book.
Mandrake seemed too gritty to me, like a fill-in Batman artist. But I do have a run of it, maybe I should haul them out for a re-read.Last edited by PNGwynne; Sep 13, '17, 3:26 PM.WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses.Comment

Anyone know what DC's plans are for the Marvels with Rebirth? Cap had been treated so badly after Power of Shazam, I just gave up--though I did read the kid-friendly titles.
But Doc Shaner's Convergence was lovely.Last edited by PNGwynne; Sep 13, '17, 3:36 PM.WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses.Comment

To me, the story out shined the art which yeah, tonally it was all wrong. Thomas got it right, he updated the character, adding some fun things that i still enjoy but tried to keep it's spirit. I love that he mentioned that he was a fan of the Bridwell/Newton run.
Ordway's initial book was awesome, he lost me in the ongoing series by rushing the whole thing back to "Fawcettville" too soon for my tastes.Places to find PlaidStallions online: https://linktr.ee/Plaidstallions

My podcasting friend Siskoid and I covered the Marvels appearance on Batman: The Brave and the Bold, and I pleaded my case why Cartoon Network should give the classic Marvels a TV show already! Lots of discussion of the characters' history to boot.
