Spent the day at Horrorhound Cincinnati with Kurt Dinse, whose cartoon avatar is Conrad Lant, star of Kurt’s comic One Year in Indiana. Conrad is the world’s smartest death metal vocalist who is stranded in Indiana when his band stops touring. It is loosely based on Kurt’s own experiences, and one of the best comics …

284 – Darkhawk
Another non-DC request for Joe G., another character who I am mostly unfamiliar with, having only read a few issues that guest-starred bigger characters.
283 – Sleepwalker
A non-DC request from Joe Grunenwald! I’m fairly certain he doesn’t remember asking for this! I don’t know a thing about Sleepwalker, I think I read maybe three issues of his book in the early 90s, probably because Wolverine, Spider-Man, Ghost Rider or The Punisher guest-starred.
282 – Flatman
Back in the early 90s, John Byrne did a run on West Coast Avengers (Avengers West Coast?) that I absolutely loved, and part of his run was the introduction of The Great Lakes Avengers, a ridiculous team of Midwestern Superheroes who actually turned out to be pretty competent and powerful. Hawkeye and Mockingbird both left …
281 – Ultimate Nick Fury
At it’s core, I have no problems with Ultimate Nick Fury. But I do have a problem with the fact that he simply exists only to get the attention of Samuel L. Jackson. And hey, it worked! Unfortunately, this is so meta and so twisted in on itself, that there’s now no room for Ultimate …
280 – Nick Fury
Nick Fury, Old School, Original Flavor. Y’know the one with an established history and personality that makes him a rich and compelling character.
279 – Odin
By Odin’s Beard! My friend Stephen Alexander is a member of a group called The Gem City Gentlemen of the Gilded Beard. This is a group of people who are in love with – to a possibly obsessive degree – their own beards. If my comments seem snide, it is out of pure jealousy and …
Ok, PANIC!: Do-Over
A re-do of the Star Wars topic.
278 – V
I am no longer a very political person. There was a point in time that I was, but I pretty much just stopped giving a crap. I vote, and that’s pretty much it. My politics currently can be summed up in this manner: You can insult and make fun of Herman Cain and criticize his …
277 – Rusty Venture
I’ve been watching Season 4 of The Venture Bros.. Goddammit I love that show. I love that show more than I’ve ever loved my any of ex-girlfriends. I love it more than I’ll ever love any future girlfriends. If I could start a religion about The Venture Bros., I would.
