Z is for Zorro

January 22, 2010

Well folks, we’ve reached the end of the series. Z is for Zorro! It took significantly longer than 26 weeks, but here we are. I’m a little bit more experienced, you’re a little bit more aware of the absurdity of many comic book characters- I’d say we both came out ahead. I’ll be starting the [...]

W is for Will Magnus

January 19, 2010

Creator and leader of the Metal Men, Doc Will Magnus has survived cancellations and disastrous revisions to be one of the most fun, high-concept characters in the DC Universe. Doc and his team  of sentient robots, each named after and having the physical properties of a particular metal, are some of my favorite characters DC [...]

Lobster Johnson is Mike Mignola’s other brilliant pulp creation: A mythical 1930s New York City vigilante known for branding criminals with his trademark lobster claw symbol, and who eventually showed up in Hellboy stories as an evil-battling ghost. Lady Blackhawk is DC Comics’ crack WWII flying ace [...]

I was gonna do DC’s JLA member Ice, but then I remembered that she’s really, really boring. So I looked around a bit. There aren’t very many cool female characters whose name start with “I”. Irma Geddon from Top 10 was the only good choice until I remembered this chick. That’s right! It’s Wu Ao-Shi, [...]

Yeah, it’s Wednesday, and this is supposed to be an every-Monday series. But I hope you’ll agree that this one was worth the wait. The gallant Guardian and the glorious Gladiator ganging up on a grouchy Gorilla Grodd! I took my time with this one, since I’m avoiding real work. My twin goals with this [...]
