Finally Checking It Out – The Squadron Supreme: Death of a Universe by Mark Gruenwald & Paul Ryan
I’m going to be speaking from my personal memories for this & not fact checking on wikipedia for the review. The Squadron Supreme started off as knockoffs of DC’s Justice League to fight The Avengers in some kind of chess …

Finally Checking It Out – Captain America: Patriot by Karl Kesel & Mitch & Bettie Bretweiser
Growing up I always thought of Captain America as a goody two shoes. I probably don’t remember the story quite right, but I remember him going into retirement because he was so racked with guilt after accidentally killing a low …

Finally Checking It Out – Hawkeye by Matt Fraction, David Aja, & Matt Hollingsworth
So I’ve been hearing about this book being the best superhero book coming out lately. I was reticent to check it out because I haven’t ever been into the character too much even though I probably read over a hundred …

Finally Checking It Out: Archie
Like a lot of folks I suppose, I was always aware of Archie because of the digest comics at the grocery store checkout, but never actually read any. As a kid I didn’t buy them because they seemed too “baby” …
Finally Checking It Out – Chew Volume 1: Taster’s Choice by John Layman & Rob Guillory
So I guess it’s worth mentioning that the only way I find out about comics is Gutter Trash. Both Jason & Eric dug this book, so when I saw it in a discount bin on tour, I figured it …

Finally Checking It Out – Marvel Spotlight #6: Star-Lord by Doug Moench & Tom Sutton
So I found this comic in a dollar bin & bought it relatively as an investment comic since Star-Lord is supposed to be in the Guardians of the Galaxy movie. I remember picking up the next issue of Marvel Spotlight …

Finally Checking It Out – Dreadstar: The Price by Jim Starlin
Growing up Dreadstar might have been the first non-mainstream comic I bought. It was put out by Marvel (under the Epic banner) so it was available at newsstands & it was about a revolutionary war in outer space so it …

Last year I read a bunch of the color Dreadstar stuff for the first time. #1-16 if I remember correctly. It was fantastic. Even though it has a lot of old school things going on with the art and story, it’s still a terrific read.

Finally Checking It Out – Firestorm #1 by Gerry Conway & Pat Broderick
So as a kid I essentially never read DC comics. I think I got an issue of The Flash, an issue of Crisis on Infinite Earths, & a couple issues of Who’s Who. I’m not sure exactly …

Finally Checking It Out – Sans Soleil (Chris Marker)
So most people that have ever talked to me about movies know my favorite film is Chris Marker’s La Jetee. It might be my favorite piece of art. It’s not for everyone, it’s under thirty minutes & made of …

Finally Checking It Out: The Moon Maid (Edgar Rice Burroughs)
As a kid I never checked out Edgar Rice Burroughs. Tarzan just really held no interest for me. In 2007 my heavy metal co-worker Bruce gave me the John Carter of Mars books to read because he knew I was …

Not sure if you saw it but the storyline to the first act of the Capt America movie that came out a couple years ago sounds like the story line to this.
