"So, with Count Marzo, you have proven you will be willing to do a fully 200X Version of a character, is this what we can expect when you finally get around to He-Man and Skeletor (at least in regards to the armor and loincloths)?"

 Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars #1-12
I waited until I had all of the Marvel Universe Secret Wars Comic 2-Packs to read all of this in one sitting. How does it hold up twentysome years later? Just okay it turns out. You can see how this became a template for later crossovers, but despite his time with the Legion, Shooter isn't able to give everyone in this huge cast screen time. Or character arcs. Doom comes closest, but the ramifications of losing godhood are not explored. Also, the Wasp really was quite a ditzy, spoiled ho-bag. She totally makes out with Magneto.

 Prelude to Deadpool Corps #1 - Killer Queen
Rob Liefeld can't get an issue of Youngblood out to save this life, but he can do a weekly five-part Deadpool mini-series? Love him or hate him, he does this whole issue in his unique style. Fun for what it is.

 I promised Measle I would contribute more content in the new year, and this is the first of at least four quarterly articles I promised him!
I have to start this article by agreeing with most everybody about the scale change in Marvel Toys. I too am disappointed, and I really and truly think this was a calculated move by Hasbro, from the moment they set eyes on the property. While I find that disappointing, and I'm still upset by the fact that I have to buy a lot of figures again in a different scale, I am finally and firmly on board with the 4" scale figures, because I don't want to be left wanting when the characters I really DO care about come along. That said, I am very disappointed with the character selection thus far. Very little deviation from Big-Name heroes really makes me believe Hasbro has no faith in expanding past Ninety Spider Man, Iron Man, and Wolverine figures, and that really pisses me off. It is one of the things that pissed me off about Hasbro back when they still held the DC license as well, but at least that's now in better hands.

by Rod Keith on March 03, 2010, 07:11:00 PM In the mid Seventies, I came across the Treasury Reprint Edition of All-Star Comics #3, the first meeting of the Justice Society of America. The comic depicted a dinner of superheroes, sitting around telling stories of their adventures, with a rascally Johnny Thunder crashing the party.
I was sold.
Of all of them, one that stayed with me the most was the Sandman...
