Finally, time for the BSS Summer Swimsuit Special! I've got a lovely one-piece picked out.

It doesn't make any sense anyway, Thanos's indestructible sphincter would cut Ant-Man in half as he was expanding.

Eh, a few posts down he posts a picture of the full shelf and he has two Marvel Mangaverse trades on it. That alone almost cancels out all the good.

Not to mention the Forgotten Realms novels. :v:

I'm glad I'm not the only person who checks out the bookshelves during these talk heads segments.

Since I moved into a place where I can actually have an office, I've been unpacking boxes of stuff I haven't looked at since I was in high school, in particular my Series I-III Marvel Trading Cards. Man, those were so good, they were basically wikipedia in a binder.


I had four binders of the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe back when they were doing those as three ring cardstock things. That was some reference material.

Tiny Toons is down that low after it got the corporate push down for being a WB (and thus DC) property. But it was so cool, they couldn't justify making it lower.

Also, that would be the 90's Captain America movie for those who don't catch the reference.

What are the excuses that Silver Age DC came up with as to why a story they touted on their covers with wasn't actually canon?

I've got: a dream, a parallel universe, an imaginary story. Were there others?

Wonder Woman had "impossible strories" involving her teaming up with her teenaged and infant self.

Batman had stories that were just things Alfred wrote.

I can't think of anyone else really having explicitly out of continuity stories...

I'm reading The Incal now, and it's such a weird thing. It feels like a story that Jodorowsky wanted 1000 pages to tell, but the publisher only gave him 300. It's great, but the story is so incoherent.

Yes, yes, we know it's a European comic.

Pretty much. I love Moebius, but Euro comics that aren't 2000AD don't do it for me.

I was mostly joking, but there was that whole branch of completely stylish comics that were also completely incoherent that The Incal and Metabarons really exemplify. I love the beautiful crazy work but they're more like settings and concepts than stories.

At the rate Discovery is going, I wonder if DC comics has much time left.

I've been kind of anticipating it for a while. DC is a small footnote on the WB balance sheet and comics have only had corporate value as IP farms for well over a decade. All it would take is one exec going, "Eh, they're comics. Anybody can come up with that stuff," and they're done.

Why is it that this forums mod isn't named the MODOK?

MODOP or MODOB, surely.

Relatively young artists, too. :smith:
