It´s mi paisano Monday with Carlos Pacheco

Even if I have not put the finishing touches on my last post yet I had to write something to celebrate Carlos Pacheco´s 54th anniversary Today.

Now while he is one of my top ten artists I haven´t read all of his latest work because he is on such peripheral books like OCCUPY AVENGERS or the SECRET WARS - SQUADRON SINISTER mini series. While I don´t know much about the first one - except that having a 5 dollar price tag on a comic that is supposed to be socially minded is a slap in the face of every comic reader - I can recommend the second one. While I would have preferred a hardcover without any filler material you don´t really need to know very much about the cheap SECRET WAR knockoff series besides what you are told within the story and it has a nice homage to the epic fight between Superman and Batman in Frank Miller´s iconic THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS. 

But as enjoyable as that series was the writing on most Marvel books has put a big dampener on my drive to buy comics with Carlos Pacheco art.

Even when he is on one of the big books he doesn´t make much waves lately to the extent that when the guys from Comic Geek Speak did their BOOK OF THE MONTH episodes on AVENGERS FOREVER ( one of Carlos Pacheco´s greatest achievements in the field of comics ) they had no idea what he was working on. It was CAPTAIN AMERICA. Captain Freaking America. Just one of the most beloved heroes and one of the iconic Avengers in good standing. But the story on that was so bad it didn´t even register. I had planned to do a post about the series final because I went and bought the big, fat, german Monsterband which contained a big chunk of it. I thought reading it in one sitting would be less painful - like taking off the band aid real quick - but there is no way to dull the pain.

So after preparing all the necessary material I never got around to do the post and then I just let it slide because I don´t like to be so negative. I am not going to talk about everything that is wrong with that story ( which is basically everything except Carlos Pacheco´s art ) that was only written to have a story point where Steve Rogers becomes an old decrepit man so Sam Wilson can take over as Captain Falcon but I will mention one of the things that bugged me. It has to do with asian Daily Bugle reporter Samantha Chan ( I had to google her ) who appears in issues 12 to 14. 

As a fine example to women and reporters everywhere she validates old stereotypes by f - word - ing things up from the get go. While hot on the trail of Nuke - who runs amuck in the fictive country of Nrosvekistan - she manages to send him into a killing rage after Captain America had managed to talk him down. Naturally Nuke is not on good terms with the press if you keep in mind how one sided their coverage of the military is in most of the cases and Captain America has to put a heavy beat down on Nuke.

While Captain America is busy with Nuke Sam Wilson puts Samantha out of harms way and when he tries to get her to give over her camera she reads him the riot act and gets all Holier than thou with the freedom of press.

Well, at the end of the issue it turns out that our fearless photo journalist Samantha Chan is more interested in selling her pictures and the freedom the constitution grants her than taking on the responsibilities of a real reporter and making sure the facts are presented accurately. Because - surprise, surprise - her pics are used to slander S.H.I.E.L.D. and Captain America who is the victim of a campaign to ruin his good reputation.

Now as a big fan of the old EC horror comics where actions always had consequences I expected her to get her come - uppance ( especially after Sam Wilson became the new Captain Black America ) but since I never read a CAPTAIN AMERICA comic after this fiasko I don´t know if it ever happened. According to the official Marvel database she only appeared in these three issues of CAPTAIN AMERICA which doesn´t surprise me since I wouldn´t want to continue anything that happened in this volume either.

But Disney is much too busy with making money and the next big thing than to try and put the message that journalists have responsibilities too in their books. And that´s the new Marvel NOW comic universe where the credo is f - word everybody else and don´t own up to your own mistakes.

Okay, after this little rant I think you get an idea why I have not written my big post about the 7th volume of CAPTAIN AMERICA. And this was just one little nitpicking detail from out of a hundred or more things that gets the heart of every real Captain America fan boiling and the only redeeming quality of this is Carlos Pacheco´s art - especially how he draws women.    

Which brings us back to the real reason of the post. I have tried to select the best art but as always this was limited by what was available and personal preferences. So this is my best of the best of Carlos Pacheco. As it could not be any other way we start with the first BISHOP mini series.

Another highlight for me was his undeservedly underrated and criminally underappreciated brilliant run on FANTASTIC FOUR with Jeph Loeb. You could see he had a lot of fun designing the alternate versions of Marvel´s first family and they even had Galaktus help defeat the villain at the end.

THE ORDER is a series I still haven´t read since Carlos only did the covers.

Naturally I couldn´t leave out AVENGERS FOREVER. So far I only have the spanish and the german hardcover editions ( the one from Eaglemoss, since it is cheaper ) of the series as the american versions I have seen so far were misprinted. Which really shouldn´t happen with such a big company like Disney. If somebody out there has seen the new edition maybe he can tell me how the production quality is. This would also be perfect for an Artist´s Edition although I don´t think I could afford it. 

Carlos Pacheco has also worked on most of the x - books and when you spend years on all the various titles sometimes you take a few shortcuts to make the deadline. I´m sure most american readers are not aware of this but not only did Carlos use one of his old covers for the spanish comic fanzine DOLMEN ( a must read as it is Spain´s best comic publication ) for this special One Minute Later cover it was also recycled for this poster. 

For DC Carlos worked on GREEN LANTERN and SUPERMAN. I just recently got the Camelot Falls hardcovers because I was tired of waiting if they finally collect it in one volume and I wanted to close this gap in my collection. It´s a really great story and sometimes it´s a real challenge to understand which material gets selected by companies for reprinting.

I´m just glad Carlos Pacheco´s issues of SUPERMAN BATMAN were included in the second Absolute Edition of the series although I probably would not have been able to afford it if it had not been offered at a bargain price at amazon. Now some people say that we should not use such avenues like amazon and buy the comics at the local comic shops but the companies themselves rely on the low prices they provide for all their customers. Otherwise all the omnibus hardcovers with an overinflated cover price of 75 to 125 bucks would not be possible. I mean, otherwise it would be only a very small percentage of people who could really afford to buy them. 

Speaking about Carlos Pacheco´s DC work I also have to mention JLA / JSA - VIRTUE AND VICE and not only for the obvious reasons. Which is Carlos Pacheco drawing a very fine Power Girl. It seems that almost any artists who are not on a regular POWER GIRL comic draw her really nicely. Okay, back to JLA / JSA - VIRTUE AND VICE. This is another comic I got in the spanish version because the production value on the english hardcover is substandard. I got this when it first came out and was saving it for a special occasion but when my brother borrowed it to read it the second inside page ripped through all the way to the spine and I had to tape it. I mean, with trades you expect that this happens with the first or the last page when the glue is not good but we are talking about an expensive hardcover. And not just in my book, this defect is in all copies I found.

And that´s all I have to say for Today. I´m closing the post with a few more pics by Carlos Pacheco. Feliz cumpleaño und Alles Gute zum Geburtstag.

It´s been a long time since I bookmarked the following pages but I don´t think I will be doing any more posts on the Captain America run by Carlos Pacheco here is the preview of Captain America 25 on COMICIMPACT and the review of it on COMIC BOOK HERALD . The rest of Today´s links are more for my spanish readers seeing as they deal with Iberia Inc. and Triada Vertice, two series Carlos Pacheco worked on as a writer. If you´ve never heard of them ( and you can read spanish ) check out the article Iberia Inc. : Cuando los dioses despiertan on QUIEN ME MANDARIA A MI there is an overview of the series by Jesus Delgado on HOBBYCONSOLAS . This year also marks the 20th anniversary of Iberia Inc. and to celebrate the event the aptly named Editorial Dolmen ( if you have read the series you get the joke ) has released a new collection of the entire series and you can find posts on ZONA NEGATIVA by Pedro Monje ( with small pictures ) and on VIA NEWS by Victor ( big pictures ). There is also more about Iberia Inc. and Triada Vertice in Alfonso Merelo´s fine post at LIBROS DE NOTAS .

We are leading the dance of celebrity babes aptly enough with Adina Howard who turns 43. She became famous with her smash hit Freak Like Me ( which I´m not adding as a video because it´s too obvious but you can watch it via the link ) which was everywhere even on Mtv´s The Grind. I guess you can´t find a guy from my generation who doesn´t instantly recognize the familiar beats of this song. It also didn´t hurt that Adina is quite hot in the music video where she shows her dancing skills.

The video was among those not shown on Mtv before midnight which might have something to do with the stripper moves of the dancers.

For Adina´s video I chose My Up And Down in which you can see more of Miss Howard´s stunning physique thanks to some pretty nice outfits.



Josh Duhamel turns 44 whom I only saw on Las Vegas. I always found it funny how in the casinos they do everything to get all the money from their clients - including providing some female companionship - but when somebody comes up with a clever way to pull a fast one on them they act like they are not the criminals. I guess it´s true what they say : nobody is more disgusted about being robbed than another robber. Anyway, at least Josh got to get his hands all over Nikki Cox´s hardbody on that show.

We all know Nikki Cox as the bigbreasted sexbomb with the mindblowing hourglass figure and the unbelievable Jessica Rabbit measurements ( 37DD !!! - 26 - 38 ) from Unhappily Ever After that locked in the male audience.

She was advertised as the Jessica Rabbit of the WB and there is even the Halloween episode of the show where they openly acknowledge the fact that she´s a real life Jessica Rabbit : Tiffany can´t decide on a costume and just wears a Hollywood style red glitter dress instead but because of her pornstar body everybody assumes she is dressed up as Jessica Rabbit.

She also appeared in  Nikki which never aired in Germany like most of the better tv shows and the aforementioned Las Vegas where the casinos always do everything they can to get the deck stacked in their favor. Apropos stacked, let´s get back to Nikki Cox. Which by the way is a porn name if I ever heard one, come on I can´t be the only one who thinks that. How comes she´s never worked in the adult movie business ?

Anyway, I always thought she had the right qualities to become a movie superstar - which is why I cast her as the female Dr. Fate Linda Strauss in my first post of the Hollywood edition of casting the Justice League Of America movie series - but somewhere along the way she got on the wrong track. Let´s hope there are better things for her in the future. 

From Nikki we are coming to somebody who definitely DID porn with Janine Lindemulder´s 48th birthday and she was in the upper echelon when I was old enough to rent video cassettes. You know that you are getting old when Today´s kids only know the porn starlets you grew up with from their participation in an obscure teen band music video. Which is where I got this GIF from, otherwise I would have had to post a picture.

When Janine started out in the biz she only did girl on girl scenes so every fan of her got enough of that to fill a life time. Later on she did scenes with guys and I know that caused a big excitement but I didn´t follow the adult movie industry that much at the time - I think I was busy with this life stuff - and got to see it years later. She also got her tattooes around that time. Originally I wanted to post Spring Break USA as it is one of the few non porn movies in which Janine appeared but because of some nudity it might be NSFW. You can still find it on YouTube if you want to. 

Somebody who sadly never did porn although she clearly has the necessary bust for it is the underrated living blow up sex doll template Laura San Giacomo whom I just mentioned two weeks ago and who turns 54 Today. 

She could have been a big star with her superior physical attributes as her mammoth 39E melons put other actresses busts to shame and even got porn stars envious since Laura´s magnificent mammaries are all natural.



Next we have dancer, stunt woman and actress Sandahl Bergman who celebrates her 65th birthday. Among her movies are All That Jazz, Xanadu and the Fred Olen Ray midnight schlocker Possessed By The Night co - starring Shannon Tweed but she is best known for playing Valeria in the first Conan movie. Which is still the best. And the comic adaption of the movie was drawn by none other than John Buscema. I wish I had a better GIF with Sandahl Bergman but the only other GIF I could find was from the Red Sonja movie and I´m trying my best to forget that ever existed. 

I couldn´t find a good clip with Sandahl Bergman from Conan but while I was looking for that I came across not one but two cartoon shows. The first one was called Conan The Adventurer and like in most cases I could not find the first episodes. The video quality is not very good though.



Conan And The Young Warriors was the continuation of the first series so I guess they must have had some success to get the green light for this.



In the novels Conan became king later in his life which is what Prince Charles will also be one day. The Prince of Wales, Duke of Cornwall and Duke of Rothesay turns 68 and is much cooler than most people think.

Our Dearly Departed section starts with Astrid Lindgren. The swedish author who is the third most - translated writer of children´s books after H. C. Andersen and the Grimm brothers not only had a big influence on me growing up but the entire german culture. Her books about Karlson - on - the - Roof, Pippi Longstocking, Ronia the Robber´s Daughter or Emil of Lönneberga ( who is called Michel in the german translation ) are read in every classroom and the movie adaptions are always on tv. Personally I always felt a certain kinship with Michel since I got into a lot of trouble as a kid and my Dad had the same educational methods as his old man. 

Despite these similarities I chose to add the trailer for The Brothers Lionhart which I was always fond of, not because of the unrealistic relationships between the brothers but more for the prospect of finding oneself in another world after dying with exciting adventures aplenty.



A shoutout goes also to silve screen goddess Veronica Lake who was famous for her trademark hairstyle and you can read all about her movies, trials and tribulations in The Life Of Veronica Lake on MISS LINDSAY LANE .

I couldn´t find any of her movies I´m familiar with in good quality but here is a clip from I Wanted Wings where she demonstrates her singing chops.

BEST LEAGUE EVER - add on

Now I wanted to post this part on Wednesday but other things had come up. On Wednesday I had to go to Ludwigsburg but the woman from the unemployment office gave me bad directions so I spent over one hour and a half walking through Ludwigsburg having no idea where I had to go. In the end I must have walked three or four hours nonstop when I finally came home. So the next day I spent almost entirely in bed.


Additionally I had to burn a lot of my pictures for the blog and CGS mp3s and whatnots on CDs because my harddrive was becoming to convoluted. I found a site with lots of celebrities wallpapers that are safe to post because the pics belong to the public domain so prepare for more hot chick pimpin on this blog in the next months. But now I have 4,89 GB free space and the computer is superdefragmented. So here´s my little add on to this BEST LEAGUE EVER theme. If this was DAVE´S LONGBOX I would just call it BEST LEAGUE EVER WEEK but Dave posts more often than me - so the idea of a theme week does not make much sense for me.

The story I want to write about is PAIN OF THE GODS by Chuck Austen and Ron Garney.


Now Chuck Austen has gotten a lot of flack for his issues on Uncanny X - Men and most of it deservingly. I have read some issues in the german translation and they made me shout out : What the f&(§§$ ? Those were some horrible issues. And although I really loved Ron Garney´s work on Captain America he´s not on the same level in this six issues.

When I read in PREVIEWS that JLA 100 would be the last issue of Joe Kelly and Dough Mahnke I thought about kicking the title from my pull list. There were two reasons I kept it on my pull list :

1. since it was announced that after Chuck Austen´s story Kurt Busiek would take over the title for a story that had the Crime Syndicate guest - starring and would pick up the events of AVENGERS / JLA.

2. the premise of the story sounded interesting and I do like Ron Garney´s art.

And I´m glad that I gave the book another chance because PAIN OF THE GODS is one of my favorite stories.


When Grant Morrison restarted the Justice League as the JLA his general approach was to put the seven big guns on the team and build them up as some kind of gods. The league was played like the greek pantheon and the heroes were picked to represent the different deities. In the course of the series the heroes of the Justice League became this big übergods who were almost unbeatable - especially Batman.

Now every writer has his own approach to the league and I really loved Grant Morrison´s run but what suffered a little was the fact that even if the heroes have superpowers to match the gods they ARE human on some level. And that is what PAIN OF THE GODS was all about.


Chuck Austen picked five of the league big guns : Superman, Flash, Green Lantern ( John Stewart ), Martian Manhunter and Wonder Woman and he showed them on one of their worst days. The kind of day that´s not showed very often in superhero comics when the hero fails and often gives up his whole career because it´s more than he can bear.

He didn´t include Batman because to tell the truth Batman only has bad days. He goes through days that would break other heroes and just carries on. So for him it would be just business as usual.

So the story has like the single issues in which every hero has to face his personal crisis but you also have a subplot going through all the issue that starts in the Superman issues.

What I liked especially about the story is that it not only presents the heroes crisis´but also how they try to work through it. And that in turn shows you why superheroes band together in teams. Because there are some things that you can only talk about with another cape. Somebody once wrote that the only reason that heroes band together in teams is so they can tell themselves that the people are laughing about the other costumed guy. Whoever wrote this story should pick up PAIN OF THE GODS to get a clue.


In every gathering of people certain cliques begin to build. The cool people gang up, the rich people start their own thing and the freaks get left out. That´s how it is in school, it´s this way in any company you will be in and it´s also like this in a superhero team like the league.

Chuck Austen shows this really clever when the heroes have to deal with their worst day by who they seek to get some counsel. Especially the Wonder Woman issue. I guess there are only a few people on the team who know what´s it like to be in her position but since Jonn Jonnz is a little distant and analytical the only " human " person on the team she can really talk to is Superman - as strange as this sound.


Like I said I really like this story but it seems I´m the only person in Germany who does. Every other comic reader I talked to thinks this is one of the worst JLA stories ever. And I think this is in part because you can never trust readers or more to the point comic buyers and what they say they want in stories. It´s one of the lessons POWER FREAKS taught me that while readers MAY be bitching and moaning that they are fed up with the usual superhero comics with costumes that are totally out of date and they want comics that are made for the next millenium.....

......at the end of the day they prefer their Batman, Spider - Man or Hulk instead of taking a chance on some new book. And while the german readers are always on some rant that they want heroes that are more human, stories that show the human side of the heroes and they want something that is NOT your typical superhero story.....

....well, it seems that they prefer that stuff in Vertigo titles or at least on books like the Authority. Apparently it´s not accectable on the JLA. Because while they complain that the stories are just big superhero versus villain slugfests ( which they aren´t ) they don´t want it any other way. Because it hurts when they have to think. And they suddenly realize that they really hate the stuff they always demand to appear more literate and educated. They suddenly realize that the big slobberknocker punchfest is all they really want and the other stuff just is boring to them.


Okay, maybe I´m totally wrong about the german comic readers ( if I am please drop me a line ) but from the reviews I read in spanish comic magazines like DOLMEN or on the web I know that the story was recieved totally different and much more favorable by the spanish comic readers. Maybe it has something to do with the way of thinking but it seems there are some things that I have in common with the readers in Spain. Could be a cultural thing.

Now if you want to read a really good JLA story with art by Ron Garney that really delivers give PAIN OF THE GODS a chance. It´s been collected in a trade ( like that´s a big surprise ) and a comic book well worth your money. Who knows you may even get to like it and consider it the BEST LEAGUE EVER.



Last time I posted a jazz clip but today I just couldn´t remember the artist´s name I had in mind so I here are some clips from one of my favorite albums of all times : has beem by William Shatner. Now I may have mentioned it on this blog before and you may have thought : What the %&$?§§$ has SUBZERO been smoking ? Shatner ? Can he even sing ?

So if you don´t believe me that this album has the best music I ever heard here is the proof. Enjoy.

KAAAAAAAAHN !! KAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHN !!!

Solicitations again

Today it´s been really steaming hot throughout the day. Since it´s been a while that I have written down my thoughts about the newest solicitations I thought today is just the right day to do it.


When I did my first section with comments on the solicitaions I thought it would turn into a monthly thing where I had the chance to rant about which comics I´m psyched about, what I can´t wait to read or just speculate about the books I don´t read. And which books I would add to my reading pile if I just had more money.

Right now I´m sitting at my computer while listening to episode 264 of ComicGeekSpeak while sipping on my lemon beer. So let´s see if I can finish this post ( and my beer ) before ten when I have to prepare to tape PRISON BREAK, NUMBERS and THE UNIT. I´m so glad that in Germany they send all good tv shows at the same day at the same time. Not that we would like to watch something good on Tuesday or Wednesday.

It´s like the next MISSION IMPOSSIBLE movie starring me trying to tape it all.

4 episodes. 3 tv series. 3 cassettes. 2 tv stations. 1 man trying to tape it all. How much can one man take before he goes ballistic ? Angry fat guy - movie at eleven.

Since I´m writing this post semi - drunk I hope there are not too many spelling errors. But let´s get to the solicitations.


The covers by Art Adams alone are worth the price of admission but since there is some old content the comic is not on my pull list. Because this falls clearly into the category where you want to see the actual comic before buying it. If I see it in the comic shop or at a convention I might buy it but I won´t buy it without knowing what´s inside.


Another comic I probably won´t buy. I´m a huge George Perez fan and for me THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD is one of the best series that has come out this year. I would say it´s in my top five list. But the hardcover is just outside my price range and I have all the issues anyway.


Speaking about THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD this cover has me all excited. I mean Wonder Woman AND Power Girl in one comic drawn by George Perez. What more can you want ?

The possibilities are endless : girl on girl action, wet t - shirts, pijama party and the likes. I smell boob war, brother.


I really would like to have this book on my pull list. Ever since the POWER OF SHAZAM series by Jerry Ordway BLACK ADAM has been one of my favorite characters. And even more so when they changed him from one - dimensional villain to multi - facetted struggling hero out of his time in the pages of JSA. Riding on the success of 52 where he finally got some recognition and it´s about time he got the spotlight in his own series.

The covers by Doug Mahnke look really powerful ( altough I think the art inside is done by someone else ) but right now I have to reduce my pull list not add to it.


Just an interesting cover. My brother bought the first issues of HEROES FOR HIRE because of the CIVIL WAR tie - in but it seems he has lost interest and has no plans to follow the series after that. I have no idea if the series is any good. One of the members is Shang - Chi who has been one of my favorite Marvel characters but the art I have seen so far has been rather unspectacular. Again I would have to see some issues at a con or at the store.


This is one trade I´m going to look for. I had HAWKMAN on my pull list put I canceled my subscriptio right before things got interested. So I had to get the RISE OF THE GOLDEN EAGLE story as a trade. Which by the way is one of THE best Hawkman stories ever written. And it should be a must - read for all comic writers how to use continuity.

Since then I have not read the title and from what I have read in an issue of DOLMEN about the Howard Chaykin run that might not have been such a bad thing. I still don´t know why Dc decided to let Howard Chaykin draw and Walter Simonson write since they could have sold ten times as many comics if it had been the other way around. From what I´ve read this was strictly the artists decision but I still have to wonder what could have been a good title. We´ll see who does what in this trade.


JSA is one of the best DC comics puts out and one of the comics that is actually on my pull list. Ever since the preview pics of this new incarnation I was anxious to find out how the Superman of KINGDOM COME would be involved in the new series. And after reading that the JSA´s craziest member made a little pit stop in the Kingdom Come reality I thought that was that but I never expected the Kingdom Come Superman to join the team. You just never know what´s going to happen on this book. And they have Power Girl on the team. Can´t get enough Power Girl.


Being on the subject of comics on my pull list I should really start reading THE MIGHTY AVENGERS. Right now I have the first three issues and I´m waiting for the fourth to start reading. But every new cover I see online just screams at me : Start reading bitch ! What are you waiting for ?

Issue four, brother. I swear I´ll start with issue four.


When I see this cover I have to say I really whish Tom Grummet would do the interior art also. What is he up to anyway now that he is not the regular artist of THUNDERBOLTS anymore and has finished the BARON ZEMO mini series ? I think he does one issue of mystic arcana but he deserves a regular title.

Just looking at the cover makes you wish he was doing some kind of Avengers book. I haven´t read any of the new Marvel Adventure books but I am looking for them on the next cons. Especially the one where all the Avengers get M.O.D.O.K.fied.


Another title that I would like on my pull list but which hasn´t made the cut due to monetary reasons. I got the first four issues rather cheap at Essen last year and I read the fifth one as a german translation. So far the story by Chris Claremont read like a rehash of old storylines and the art was rather mediocre. Nothing too thrilling and I ahd some trouble to distinguish certain characters. I mean before it´s mentioned in the book you don´t recognize the villain who is supposed to be an evil Professor X.

From what I have seen in the solicitations over the last year there is some art by Scott Eaton so atleast on that front the title improves a little. Maybe I will get lucky this year in Essen again.


Judging from the covers ROBIN is one of the better series of Dc. Every single cover makes me want to go and buy the book - even without word ballons. The only problem is that the art inside does not deliver what the cover promises. So for the moment it´s on my radar but not on my reading pile.


If you have read my post about She Hulk you know that this book is going down the toilet - at least artistic wise. Apparently the sales are still pretty good but the story and art is just terrible. I´m desperate. This series is on my brothers pull list but I´m still desperate. I´m so desperate that I´m hoping Peter David will save the title.

And that´s saying quite much if you know my relationship with Peter David. For me there is some great work by him but also some awful work depending how much of his ego he managed to get under control. Because I´m not mad at him because he´s a hack and he doesn´t know better. No. If he really tries and goes for it Mr. Peter David can deliver some instant comic classics like HULK : FUTURE IMPERFECT. The problem is when he´s not trying. Let´s hope he puts some effort into it and saves the title. I mean after the train wreck Dan Slott made I´m willing to give almost anyone a chance.


With this wonderful David Finch cover for Namor 5 I wrap up this post. My beer is empty and I have ten minutes till I have to change the cassette to tape THE UNIT. So that´s all for today.
