	The Ultimate Johnny Quick - American History Information Guide and Reference
		Johnny Quick was an important member of the World War Two era team known as the All-Star Squadron, written by Roy Thomas.
		In modern appearances, Johnny's speed formula is explained as a mental focus to channel the energy of the Speed Force; Johnny himself disbelieved the existence of this semi-mystical extradimensional energy source until his final battle with Savitar, in which he finally felt the presence of the Speed Force and merged with it.
		Johnny Quick was a supervillain on the alternate Earth designated as Earth-Three, but rather than being a counterpart of the Earth-Two Johnny Quick, he was a version of the Flash.

	Rag Doll (comics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Rag Doll (also interchangeably known as Ragdoll) is a colorful supervillain in the DC Comics universe.
		The team was attempting to retrieve the Cosmic Key (which would return Johnny Sorrow), but they were betrayed by The Society.
		However, Tigress witnessed the return of Johnny Sorrow, a happening which kills Ragdoll, though the ghost was prepared for it as he hands Sorrow his all-important mask.

	Return to Comics: June 2005
		Comic solicitations are a popular blog topic – not around here, cause I don’t read ‘em – but I think beaucoupkevin blogs them better than anyone I know.
		She wouldn’t have to be a comic aficionado either, just passingly interested, really friendly and smart enough to be trained up to suggest add-on sales and handle the odd question or two.
		The comic itself is engaging, although the art is a bit rough in patches, and there’s a definite sense of depth to the characters, but it comes with a nagging feeling that there’s a whole lot the reader hasn’t -- and may never be -- told.

	Thousand-faced Moon: Comics
		Anytime the Big Two comics companies wanted to goose sales, they'd have a massive crossover requiring one to buy the crossover series in additional to individual titles to understand everything that was going on.
		Final title was Gary Millidge's Strangehaven, which is a self-published comic about the village of Strangehaven and its odd inhabitants, ranging from Amazonian shamans to murderous wives to self-described alien beings.
		It seems to me that both the comics and RPG industries (to be charitable about their size) have become ones where the fans are seen as uneducated dolts who should surrender their wallets and be heard from as little as possible.

	Graphic Novel Review » DC Comics
		The Challengers of the Unknown, as a franchise, dates back to February, 1957, debuting in Showcase Comics # 6 (the so-called “Silver Age” of comics is often said to have started just two issues prior, with the first appearance of the revamped version of DC’s superhero The Flash in Showcase Comics # 4).
		The problem is that Chaykin seems to be bored — he’s given us nothing new, despite its shiny, interestingly-crinkled wrapper, and he hasn’t even paid enough attention to his trite storyline to make sure that it at least, on its own terms, makes sense.
		As you probably know, in most cases, publishers dole out new commercial-grade graphic novels as periodical comic books in monthly (if you’re lucky) installments, with a vague promise of a collection if and only if sales of the comics indicate that there might be some kind of demand.

	Comics Ate My Brain: December 2004

		Comics geeks are a special breed, the ones so obsessed with the product [...] that the real world becomes a nuisance and a bother for them, to the extent they acknowledge it at all.

		Too bad that's supposed to be the cliffhanger for the first issue; it is one of Gerber's weaknesses that he does let his cleverly channeled ire run away from him at times.

	The Comics Reporter
		Perhaps my memory makes it seem a better story than it was, but, like the rest of the caliber line in the early 90's, it was pushing comics in a different direction to what it had been before.
		These comics honored Carl Barks & Floyd Gottfredson, and later Al Taliafero, reprinted some classic Walt Kelly covers, introduced American readers to some of the best of the European Disney creators & comics, and gave Don Rosa and William Van Horn the opportunity to make new Disney classics.
		Other than the lousy paper and printing (such that just 20 years later some of these are virtually illegible) these books set the bar to which subsequent Disney publishers (including Gladstone II in the 90s) have failed to rise.

	Polite Dissent » Medicine: comics, medicine, and medical comics
		One of EC’s new comics was M.D., a comic about doctors, told in the delicate art and typographic fonts common to classic EC comics.
		The doctors needed his wife’s corneas to repair the eye damage his daughter suffered in the accident — though you think it would have gone smoother if they told him who the blind patient was from the beginning.
		Remember what I said in an ealier post about psychiatrists — that they’re comic book shorthand for characters who are “off,” “creepy,” and “up to something.” As far as I’m concerned, this applies to Harley as well.

	The Absorbascon: Evil Woman!
		You're also trying to use cultural stereotypes to make excuses for the fact that so many women in superhero comics are badly written, when in fact the explanation is simpler: it's bad writing.
		There are plenty of examples in comics of female characters who act impulsively and put on silly costumes to commit or fight crime.
		I have to agree with an earlier poster who said that comics have typically been drawn by men, who simply see the world from their points of view.

		Johnny, Ralph, Ricky, Ron and Michael (Bobby Brown has other fish to fry) have watched the form they invented grow in style and intensity thanks to sweat-dripping seducers such as Usher and Nelly.
		Every track is solid and professional; the singers' voices are strong -- Johnny Gill, particularly, kills on the slow-burner "Come Home With Me." But there isn't a cut here worthy of the old New Edition.
		But there are a half-dozen real songs, and they showcase his knack for recycling old-school funk, lite jazz and B-movie suites.

		Lund’s answer was that “Disney doesn’t seem to value their own history the way we do.” (Do I have to mention this is yet another parallel to comics?) He began shooting the film even before the layoffs were announced in the Schumacher meeting, since he could see the end coming.
		Quick Stop editor Ken Plume wrote a perceptive review of their documentary at our old website, as you can see at http://filmforce.ign.com/articles/571/571987p1.html.

	Graphic Novel Review » Corporate Comics
		According to the chronology in the end-notes, which catalog Conan’s career over the course of the original Robert E. Howard stories, the Conan here is approximately seventeen years old, only recently set loose upon the world, and still learning the thieving trade.
		These stories also introduce a couple of recurring characters, who fade away just in time for the adaptation (which occurs chronologically immediately after these stories), but who are liable to show back up in future volumes, given that Busiek has deliberately left a few plot threads dangling.
		The long adaptation of the Howard story itself is what it is. Interestingly, Dark Horse has also recently reissued a new version of the old Marvel Comics adaptation of the same story.

		We comics fans of the twenty-first century enjoy zipping to the Comicaporium on our jetpacks or in our flying cars, and there's no bigger treat than reading this week's 4D-comic books while chowing down on a big yummy block of Soylent Green.
		Back in the Golden and Silver Age of comics, rather than start a series anew with a brand-spanking shiny #1 on the cover, it was easier, more cost-effective, and faster for comics publishers to simply rename a comic and keep the numbering.

	Starman comics. Pictures, back issues and more about Starman
		In Starman's case, his decision to battle the forces of evil as a mystery man may have been precipitated by his development of the gravity rod, a device which could draw upon the power of the stars.
		No doubt part of this was due to the fact that he was one of the first superheroes to battle supervillains on a somewhat regular basis (in the early Golden Age many superheroes were still fighting gangsters and Nazis).
		In All-Star Comics #24, spring 1945, the Justice's Society's two members from National were replaced by two guest stars, Wildcat and Mr.

	Comics Ate My Brain: October 2004
		If a comic was cover-dated June 1954, the story within was presumed to occur in June 1954.
		This was a bit of self-censorship, reacting to the public's fears about comics' evil influences.
		It boasted an omnipotent villain, a new supervillain team, a Justice League appearance, a Titan's origin, and the near-dissolution of the group itself.

		The supervillain attack from IC #7 could certainly give rise to some extreme bias on the part of the locals, and if I remember correctly, Psycho himself made a visit to Metropolis in the pages of Action Comics some months earlier.

		Also, it would still be helpful to have some sort of synopsis for new readers, or for people who have not been reading this comic from the beginning.
		The idea that a supervillain would pause in his escape attempts to flirt with pretty girls just speaks reams about the character, and I would guess we’ll be seeing more of him.
		It’s nice to be able to read some of these stories, many of which would never be reprinted otherwise (I don’t see DC archives for Wildcat, Johnny Quick or the Vigilante being big sellers).
