Last week’s post about Alpha Flight and the news about Chaos War: Alpha Flight has reignited my fanaticism for this team!  Today I thought I’d stroll down memory lane with some of my favorite Alpha Flight related covers.  Enjoy!

I love me some Alpha Flight!  I got hooked reading the John Byrne back issues in the late 1980s.  I’ve stuck with the team ever since.  Sadly they were wiped out in early 2006 in New Avengers (vol. I) #16.  In 2007 we did get a solid Omega Flight mini-series, but it didn’t spawn anything [...]

I figure most people saw this last week as it made it’s rounds on the interwebs.  In case you missed it, here is the trailer to Marvel Comics’ feature film The Avengers made in 1952! If you can’t see the embedded video above, please click here. My thanks to Ed for directing me to this.  [...]

Yesterday we featured some awesome Batman imaginary team-ups.  The creator of those team-ups is working on a new similar project for Marvel Two-in-One.  He doesn’t have a site for them yet, but watch for it in the coming months.  Check out these preliminary covers! Found via Bleeding Cool.

A few weeks ago, I shared an unlikely Brave and the Bold team-up comic cover.  Turns out there is another gentlemen named Ross that runs a site dedicated to Brave and the Bold Batman team-ups that never happened.  Click here to visit The Brave and the Bold… The Lost Issues!  The amazing thing is that [...]

Are there too many blond female sidekicks?  It occurred to me yesterday that the female sidekicks of the “Big Three” are all currently blond: Supergirl, Wonder Girl, and Batgirl. That’s sort of odd.  The previous Batgirl and Wonder Girl were both raven-haired, while the Batgirl before that was a redhead. Supergirl has pretty much always [...]

I have a four-year-old daughter.  Let’s call her the Precocious Princess for discussion purposes here.  As many children do, she idolizes her older brother (he’s 10).  She sees him playing with superhero and sci-fi action figures and emulates his behavior.  Recognizing that, I’ve been trying to buy her girl-centric superhero toys.  If she’s going to [...]

I should start off by admitting that I love Neal Adams artwork.  This guy is a MASTER!  An absolute master artist.  He helped redefine the look of comics in the 1970s and he can still draw just about anybody under the table.  Okay, with my disclaimer out of the way I can get on with [...]

Today we conclude our week-long look at old advertisements for DC Comics that began their run in 1987.  What a great year 1987 was for DC Comics! So far this week we’ve looked at the Justice League, Dr. Fate, Amethyst, Suicide Squad, Checkmate, Doom Patrol, Green Arrow, Young All-Stars, Flash, The World of Krypton, and [...]
