  Really enjoyed the first issue of Rock Candy Mountain and I'm looking forward to more hobo hi-jinks in future issues!

Is that stuff scrawled on the blackboard by Lois' arm kryptonian or could the artist just not be bothered to put actual letters in there?

It's meant to represent actual writing, but the artist/writer don't put anything legible there because it would compromise the composition of the image.

When i read the synopsis it sounded like some dude got high and watched bum fights and didn't think it was incredibly offensive

Like, each page got a laugh but I think a whole issue or series would burn me out.

So was Byrne's run on She Hulk just an endless stream of increasingly grosser dudes stalking her and her clothes getting destroyed as much as possible?

There was that one Deadpool Annual where Howard the Duck made an appearence after Wade froze everything with the Infinity Gauntlet. She Hulk should have made a quick cameo. She's the missing link.

She-hulk is one of those books that has the potential to be entertainingly written because Hulk without the existential angst can be fun, and historically it's allowed writers to explore some neat alternative concepts to the stock Hulk tropes (there was one run that had a bit of a focus on how Jen has pretty much the opposite problem as Bruce because her insecurities about herself when she's in normal form was basically making her want to stay green all the time), however you have to be really careful to ensure that you don't end up in a situation where she's being drawn one-handed by Frank Cho.

I bought the omnibus of the first Superman comics (a good 300 or 400+ pages' worth) on Comixology and it's a loving trip. Along with lacking many of his famous powers (he's only able to leap 10 stories, run faster than a locomotive, and hold up a bridge to keep a train from falling into a canyon), he deals with some of the most boring and normal crimes he can find. One issue is dedicated to him finding out that a university football coach has hired some thugs as football players to beat the opposing team at the big game so he can keep his job, so Superman kidnaps the other team's benchwarmer and impersonates him on the field so he can single-handedly defeat the goons. He almost ruins his own plan when he gets in a pissing contest with one of the players on his team and hurls him into a locker. The first full issue has him finding out that a corrupt senator is colluding with weapons manufacturers to start a war in South/Central America and make a profit, so he kidnaps the senator and dresses both of them up as soldiers so he can force him to fight in the war and see how terrible it is so he'll become a pacifist.

Those Superman stories sound so good. One of the better comic shops in my city has a hardcover collection of this stuff and I seriously considered buying it yesterday.

Like literally the very first Superman story is him tracking down and beating the poo poo out of a guy who beats his wife.

I've got both I Shall Destroy All the Civilized Planets and You Shall Die By Your Own Evil Creation and they are really good quality collections. Like, every story is almost the exact same formula - Stardust/Phantomah learns of evil guys doing evil things; watches them actually do it; then merges them all into one person so Hanks doesn't have to draw too much and punishes them ironically, but they're fascinating nonetheless.

Isn't one of the early Superman stories him strong-arming a bank into giving a regular dude a loan, because they're been loving with him Mr. Potter style?

Metalshark posted:THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN & SILK: THE SPIDER(FLY) EFFECT miniseries/Infinite comic, depending on your preference. I recommend this if you enjoy the Silk series. It's by the same writer and is a nice time travel team up with Spidey where he and Silk have to team up and accidentally mess up the past where they get their powers and then being powerless have to fix that with help from Uncle Ben. It's both a funny and sweet story.
