Re: Comics: The Weekly Rundown (was Heroes Con 2006)
I'm going tonight to pick up my monthly comics/swag pile. I'll report later with my booty. Comics booty, not my "junk in the trunk". That would jhust be wrong.
A questions:
Anyone read Marvels "Secret War" from last year? I into it and enjoying it. While this was running, they had a story arc in "Pulse" that tied into the mini-series. Is there a particular reading order for it? the last secrst war issue I read advertised the Pulse arc, but I don;t know if I should read all of Pulse, than the rest of Secret Wars or ping pong between the 2.
Which brings me to gripe. Secret War has a "Dossier" issue that appears to be a bunch of text about the characters, as opposed to having an actual plot function to the story. Anyone else feel ripped off iwth these? Earth X, Paradie and Universe X all had issues like this as well.

Neat! I've been loving the MAX Supreme Power books. I was a little dissapointed to see it move away from that label. I've got the newer books but haven't read them yet because I was missing an issue of the "Hyperion" mini that came out. Are they still up to snuff? My concern is that they dumb them down. Oh and that they stop showing Power Girls boobies. That was my other concern. Boobies. 
Andy, thanks for the heads up on Doc Savage! I've been wondering about getting some of the Doc stuff for a while now, haveing heard good things about it. I recently got into the pulps via the great Robert E Howard reprints. I highly recommned "Soloman Kane" to anyone, and have jsut gotten the 3 re-prints volumes of the complete Conan, but haven't had a chance to read them.
It's actually annoying. I've been trying to find a good HP Lovecraft anthology for a while, but all I can find are comp books with 2 lovecraft stories and than a bunch of other authors writing their own stories. I ended up just downloading the complete lovecraft poems and stories.
This post is invisible! It also has the power to kill threads!
