New Buck Roger's Comic ,.. Really ?

[thunderbolt]

^^^ Wish he'd do some more Bat-stuff Year 100 and his black and white stories were great.

See Paul Pope's Adam Strange in Wednesday Comics this summer if you are after old school space opera comic strips.

DUDE! I am all over the Pope! I was thinking about having Wednesday's Comics put in my hold slot. When I read the line-up the thinking stopped and I immediately got with my LCS guy and made room for it.

meh. Outfit aside, the story was unremarkable. I would love to see an artist with old school skills on Buck Rogers and Flash Gordon. Those two properties have such rich illustrative traditions that they just cry out for that kind of treatment.

Really???? Thats were we are going with Buck Rogers? Hmmmmm?

[Godzilla]

Is he no longer in the 25th century?

The Lone Ranger Comic was so Hard for me to even get a Copy of when I went to Comic Shops,.. I think I just Quit Buying after issue 2 ... Sounds like I didn't miss Much.

I'd Half to look,.. But either or Both Jungle Girl series, & the Sheena series is Dynamite...,.. I buy Both,.. Fantastic books.

I think the only thing he's currently writing at Marvel is Thor....I don't understand the delay with The Twelve...it was 3/4 of the way done anyway wasn't it?

[thunderbolt]

^^ And now JMS is starting up new stuff at DC with the Red Circle characters before wrapping up the Twelve.

[The Toyroom]

I read a few of the Golden Age Super Powers books, but again, lots of flash with the Ross covers, incomprehensible storyline with no resolution.

Yeah I stuck with this for the first arc but they aren't getting any more of my dough for sequels or spin-offs....which is too bad because I REALLY wanted to like these great Golden Age characters but the nowhere story and muddy artwork underneath those swell Alex Ross covers just wasn't doing it for me.

Same sort of applies to Ross' Avengers/Invaders over at Marvel. I thought the best of the bunch of these Golden Age revivals was JMS' The Twelve but I haven't seen a new issue of that in a while....

[Earth 2 Chris]

Buck looks like he borrowed back a bit of Adam Strange there as well.

I love the Lone Ranger, but Dynamite's series is ridiculously slow-paced. It took them 6 issues to get him in the mask! The Gabriel mini-comic did it in like 8 pages.

Dynamite has optioned just about everything now, haven't they?

The Lone Ranger is ok, but yeah, it's ponderously slow in coming out and going anywhere. Same with Zorro, which I dropped. I picked up Sherlock Holmes #1 yesterday, but haven't read it yet.

I read a few of the Golden Age Super Powers books, but again, lots of flash with the Ross covers, incomprehensible storyline with no resolution.

Highlander was bad too, a book I had high hopes for but they bogged down in some stupid parallel time story. And they must have paid extra money for the Kurgan, as they overused him to the extreme, considering his total story was tied up in the movie. What a waste of a property, the potential for all those great stories set in different time periods, the future, etc....thrown away with recycled movie plots and bad spy storylines. Bah!

As a division of Dynamic Forces, Dynamite's main purpose seems to be selling overpriced variant covers signed by Alex Ross. And what's with the Stan Lee stuff at $150-200 pricing? Did you know if you send Stan a couple books through the mail he'll sign them & send them back to you for free on about a week & a half?


They should concentrate on quality books instead of gimmicky covers and multiple variants. Did you realize there are like 12 covers to Lone Ranger #1? God knows how many Red Sonja ones are out therre. And hey, Dynamite...the "reverse negative" cover is probably the ugliest thing ever produced.

[The Toyroom]

As far as Buck goes, I really didn't like the Lone Ranger from Dynamite, pacing was slow for the Trade Paperback, so I really don't expect this to be that great.

Yeah, something like 3 years in and he STILL hasn't had the final confrontation with Butch Cavendish....yawn

[thunderbolt]

The Batman and Robin covers that have been released so far look pretty much the same for Batman's costume. So I'm guessing no Ross Bat redesign. As far as Buck goes, I really didn't like the Lone Ranger from Dynamite, pacing was slow for the Trade Paperback, so I really don't expect this to be that great.
