Last post by Leigh S - 17 May, 2024, 01:15:46 PMPresumably this is another collected Eagle comics? Was any of the art reworked for it (and if so, by whom?)

This. I was really looking forward to this, but seeing all the bright purple and red, and single colour frames, etc, I'll give it a miss.

Last post by Barrington Boots - 17 May, 2024, 10:18:47 AMSuch cynicism for a classic jungle canyon rope bridge scene!
Love this episode. Skar ridiculously shouting his name like a pokemon. Guys fighting each other on giant prehistoric monsters. Arkady super slimy. That great flashback, and that great reveal - and Edie's reaction to it.
As Colin says, this Podcast is pure joy to listen to. Looking forward to Lawless!

Last post by Large48 - 17 May, 2024, 10:08:17 AMHi there,
After having numerous problems with my current comic shop for regular orders I need to find a new decent one that will actually get what I ask for and then deliver them all at a cheap price..... (Don't want much really!
)
So any recommendations for a UK one?
Cheers

Definitely! You can tell us all about hobnobbing with the big names
Yeah we can live vicariously through you!
If I'm not too star struck and remember the conversations I'll spill the beans 😉

Last post by Colin YNWA - 17 May, 2024, 09:06:50 AMCompletely self-absorbed update
So the re-read of Power Pack has started - I covered the comics in Entry 87 and man its fun already. I'd forgotten how much the first story in issues 1-4 reads like an 80s kids/teen movies like ET, The Expolorers or even The Goonies. Its paced and plotted in such a similar way. With events leading our characters deeper and deeper into adventure and discovery as the story progresses. Yet the relationships between the young leads really being the driver and the events used to explore those relationships and their relationship to the danager and excitment they are thrown into with any of the presumption or fixed world view of the adults.
I do get the sense these first four issues were written as a self-contained 4 issue mini (4 issues being very much the vogue at the time). I've no idea if that was the case, but it defo reads like it. That adds to the sense this is a movie plot presented so brillantly in comic form! I get why they made an apparently terrible film way back when!
Seriously if folks like ET we should be handing them these comics!
On another note I've also delved further in Kyle Baker's works following conversation here and found a couple of really cheap bundles of his work so I've picked up:
I die at midnight
Alice through the looking glass
You are here
King David
as well as nicer editions (the originals I believe) of both Why I hate Saturn and The Cowboy Wally Show. I'm unlikely to get these read before this countdown ends (such is the monstrousity of my too read spreadsheet and I can't keep giving things bumps up that list!) but man oh man they all look incredible.
