One would expect a comic by the masterful Jack Kirby about a race of space gods, a population of hideous evil mutants and a small clan of immortal super humans to be mind blowing, but would you expect Eternals to be racy as well?! Ripped the pages of issue #5, take a gander at this exchange!

“Back to the Future III” would have us believe that Marty McFly invented the Frisbee when he time traveled to the Old West. Turns out Robert E. Howard’s Conan was flipping discs as far back as the Hyborian Age.

Frequenters of the internets will have seen that casting for “Captain America: The First Avenger” has been a big news item over the past week or two.

A while back, I asked for suggestions on how to keep up with comics in a price effective way.

About a year ago, TJ Dietsch and I had a philosophical superhero debate. While I maintained that the Hulk could defeat anyone in the entire Marvel Universe, TJ conversely insisted that everyone in the 616 could take down the Hulk. TJ drew up a few doodles of how he thought both Gambit and Jubilee could beat the angry green giant, but I never retaliated. Here’s my first drawn rebuttal.

Though I can relate to Nick Fury’s sentiment as he and James Woo fight for their lives against Centurius and his crazy creatures in issue #2 of Jim Steranko’s Nick Fury: Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., I think he may have coined the coolest tombstone epitaph of all time.
