In my spare time (yes, I'm laughing too) I like to check out the cool drawings and other assorted pieces of creative magnificence over on DeviantArt. On one recent expedition, I happened across this brilliant piece and needed to share.
Drawn by A.J. Jothikumar under the handle *hyperjack08, this piece speaks of a different Cliff Steele from another time. Maybe someday we'll see more of Cliff in a setting that would be in line with this image.
My other site (or one of them) on these here internets, CBR, has a Top 100 DC (and also a Top 100 Marvel) characters for 2011 on the Comics Should Be Good blog. Even with minimal exposure throughout the year (unless he popped up in one of the New 52 books I simply am not reading) good ol' Garfield Logan is weighing in at #100.
Snazzy little drawing of Gar from Mike McKone's "Teen Titans" days.
I'm interested to see if we get any more Patrolers on the list. Any thoughts in that direction?
Be sure to check the list out for more fabulous characters.
Hello again my friends! Busy, busy, busy. Yet, somehow, I keep finding ways to get even busier.
It's not that I don't still love the Doom Patrol, I'm just all over the map right now, reviewing for CBR, doing other stuff for Back to the Past, working, being a dad, y'know, stuff.
At any rate, a little while back, I caught the trailer for the DC Nation and thought I saw something Doom Patrolish.
I did.
Larry, Larry, Larry. Why, it's almost enough to bring back Negative Mondays, isn't it?!?
Then, while doing some reading of those wonderful sites over there (-->) I happened across this from Sue of DC Women Kicking Ass site.
Sorry, Sue, it was so Doom Patrolriffic, I had to snag it first and ask permission later (if at all).
Looks like the DP is going to be a regular bit on this new DC Nation.
Imagine Charlie Brown's happy dance. That's all me right now, my friends.
I'll be making a better effort to give you more. Soon. I promise.
My Greatest Adventure hit the stands last week and my review hit the internet shortly thereafter.
This time out, the tale is not only the lead in this anthology book, but it is also the only story of the three that is written and drawn by two separate creators. Matt Kindt narrates this new Robotman’s exposition through the words of Robotman, himself. He gives us a tight overview of Robotman’s personality but only eludes to Robotman’s past, choosing to grow the character over the course of the storyline.
For funsies, I thought I'd do some digging on the Interwebs to uncover what the first issue of the original My Greatest Adventure looked like, seeing as we're just days away from the newest go-round.
Feast upon this friends.
"My Cargo was Death." THAT sounds like one great adventure. I don't own any of the pre-DP issues, but I've always been curious to know how they hold up. How about you, my friends? Anyone a bigtime old-school MGA fan?
Hey Patrolers! Don't forget that My Greatest Adventure returns to comic racks this week, bringing Robotman with it! The solicit goes a little something like this:
The adventures of WEIRD WORLDS’ Garbage Man and Tanga continue in MY GREATEST ADVENTURE, a new six-issue anthology-style miniseries. And this time around, they’re joined by the quirky and self-destructive Robotman.
Meet Robotman as he takes on a restaurant full of zombies. Follow Garbage Man as he makes his return to Gotham City and seeks out the only friend he has left. And watch Tanga suffer the consequences of defying King Za.
Robotman’s “Uncanny Valley, Part 1” is written by Matt Kindt and illustrated by Scott Kolins. “Garbage Man Returns” comes to you from Aaron Lopresti and Matt Ryan and “Tanga: Restrained” is by Kevin Maguire.
MY GREATEST ADVENTURE #1 goes on sale this upcoming Wednesday.
The day is finally here, my friends. Today we are treated to the Franco and Art Baltazar-crafted "Crosswalk of Doom" story in Tiny Titans #44.
As always, I read this issue before my youngest ran away with it, and I gotta be honest, I'm fighting the urge to sneak into her room and steal it back. This issue was fun, funny, and enjoyable. I laughed out loud more than once and loud enough that my dear wife, from upstairs, started asking my children what was wrong with me.
"He's reading Tiny Titans," was my youngest's reply.
"That's it?!" my wife asked, completely befuddled at the sheer entertainment this book provides. Go and get it my friends. Laugh a little and thank me later.
