Re: Captain Marvel, the Marvel Familiy and Shazam - Ramblings and Reconstruction: The Rock of Eternity

Re: What's new with the big two: Marvel and DC Comics discussion thread.
Marvel just keeps rehashing the same old ideas every six months. I'm expecting another Days of Future Past and Kree Skrull War retread any day now.

Re: Female Action Figures: Hits and Missed Opportunities
C.O.P.S. (Fighting crime in a future time ... with cap guns.) SO it's 1988 and GI Joe and Transformers are both past their zenith, so Hasbro is looking for something new. And the answer was C.O.P.S. (aka C.O.P.S. 'n' Crooks). It stood for Central Organization of Police Specialists . And I'm just go...

I wish more people like you were writing comic books.

Re: An Alternate Deadlands Setting
Honestly, the two main books I would've put in the original first edition line up would've been a Muckrakers/Tale-tellers book which covered reporters, photographers*, storytellers, singing cowboys, and anyone else who fights back against the Reckoners by telling stories of good people triumphing ov...

Re: An Alternate Deadlands Setting
That would explain it. Thanks for that. I think the biggest problems with the two Back East books were that they didn't really have a "hook" to hang that part of the setting on, the way the Weird West had "Spaghetti Western with Zombies" going for it. In hindsight, maybe they sho...

Re: An Alternate Deadlands Setting
Deadlands is a lot of fun, even if parts of it are too ludicrous for me. This is a game that had Bruce Campbell write an intro for the second edition, after all. Also, I kept finding some of the company's design choices somewhat questionable. One of those is why they never bothered to do the obvious...

Re: Female Action Figures: Hits and Missed Opportunities
Visionaries: Knights of the Magical Light So, I made a brief note of Visionaries in the previous post, so let's talk about them. Visionaries was an interesting series which had an unfortunately short life span. The concept itself was pretty cool. It was set on an alien world, Prysmos, that was one ...

Re: What's new with the big two: Marvel and DC Comics discussion thread.
Any thoughts on the United States of Captain America? No. Don't know what those are. Apparently some sort of miniseries about Cap and various associated characters (Falcon, USAgent, Bucky) going around the US - looking for Cap's shield or something - and meeting all of these local "Captain Ame...

Re: Female Action Figures: Hits and Missed Opportunities
MASK MASK was one of the more interesting toy lines of the 80s. The concept - rather brilliantly IMO - managed to combine the two of Kenner's rival Hasbro's biggest sellers of the time, GI Joe and Transformers, into a single concept. A team of special agents who drove transforming vehicles. Plus th...

I'm kind of surprised Slott has been able to stay away from Twitter long enough to actually write.

I'm expecting to see an announcement about Justice League 2, in which they fight zombie robots.
