Array while I’ll always love the character as he appeared in those eight 1960’s issues by Sergio Aragones, Denny O’Neil and Nick Cardy, almost every revival attempt and guest appearance has been flat and bland. Methinks the latter.Nice Doug Mahnke cover for SEVEN SOLDIERS: FRANKENSTEIN #2, featuring my old buddy Spawny, all reimagined for these dark and gloomy times.Fans of old DC war comics are surely salivating over SGT. Can’t buy everything!Ladies and germs, I give you the final issue of the title voted most likely to defy all expectations of longevity, PLASTIC MAN #20. I flirted with this title a while ago, but after an admittedly clever issue or two, mostly involving Kyle Baker having some fun with DC’s superhero community, I got tired of the slapdash art and recycled Tom & Jerry plots, and bailed. I turned my back, no pun intended, on the smirky, sophomoric, FHM magazine-level spy hijinx of Danger Girl a long time ago, and I won’t be buying the comeback mini DANGER GIRL: BACK IN BLACK, but this cover image for issue #3 certainly appeals to my love of cheesecake pinup art. I haven’t had an opportunity to write about it yet, but I was kinda impressed with the preview which appeared in the latest issue of Fables, so I’ll be picking this up for a while, it appears.And that’s it for DC. This looks fun, with lotsa dead superheroes coming back as zombies or something, but it will be a game time decision in regards to whether I’ll buy.DAUGHTERS OF THE DRAGON #1 (of 6) gives us a long-overdue spotlight on two supporting characters that used to appear in Claremont and Byrne’s 70’s issues of Iron Fist, back before they became major annoyances. I don’t know what, if anything, has been done with them since then (I know they had some 70’s kung-fu magazine backups and appeared in Power Man/Iron Fist) but this triggers the nostalgic response in my head so I’ll be buying.NEXTWAVE #1 (of 12) looks like it could be fun, and I like the samples I’ve seen so far. Oh well, I’ll most likely pick it up regardless- I love me some Carrot.In the text of the solicit for MICHAEL GOLDEN?S MONSTERS PORTFOLIO they describe him as The elusive artist…, which evokes images of the Image guys dressed in pith helmets and jungle gear, stalking Golden with tranquilizer darts.Arthur Suydam has had his moments in the past, and he’s a fine artist overall, but his ORIGINAL ADVENTURES OF CHOLLY & FLYTRAP always struck me as poor man’s Vaughn Bode.

It was more of a research project than a straight memo, and my boss knew that the fucker was going to be really long), I should be able to settle into being a law student again.Now that my memo is gone, and I will only be working 2 days a week, as opposed to 3, I should be able to get a grasp on my classes.I just pray that I don’t end up on AP.
