That's what I did. I picked out the lowest priced one.

I remember that and it was a thing of beauty. But at the same time, it was really goofy of Jericho to be doing that when he was trying to get over as a legitimate threat in WWF.

Go with Uncanny X-Men. Here's a link about Reload: http://www.marvel.com/news/index.htm?page=all&article_id=176

I just picked up the Hurricane/Rosie 2 pack. Hurricane has the Brock upper bod

That's exactly what they are doing. It's a good way to hype the show, and at least it shows they are thinking ahead.

Oh hell yeah! Zsasz and I are agreeing The Comics folder will never be the same.

You say Bookend like it's THAT much better. Both are weak as fuck. The heatseeker was pretty cool though. I wouldn't mind seeing him go back to that, but not as a heel. You mean the 110th Street Slam? I thought that was a spinebuster delivered more like Hardcore Holly's Alabamaslama.

Some of the stuff from the mid 90s by Waid/Wienrigo was really good, too. There are a lot of Flash TPBs available. I'm not much of a Flash fan but from what I've personally seen and have heard from others, you really can't do bad with either the Waid or Johns stuff.

I'm yet to buy them, although I always think about it when I see it. The internet has really spoiled my interest in magazines. Whenever I want to read an article, interview, or even look something up, I just head to the computer.

I LOVED ONeil/Adams Arrow/Lantern stuff from the seventies. Quiver was really good, too. I really liked how they portrayed Hal as Spectre, and I still think that there is much more they could explore in that way.

I went with the el cheapo clas ring, and I'm glad. I think I only wound up wearing it maybe twice. I skipped getting one from college.

What's your preoccupation with hero's beating each other? For your information, during his Ion phase, Kyle started to bring the whoopin' on Superman. He also tussled with Green Arrow without powers. For the most part, it's not Kyle's nature to fight with people. Fighting Parralax doesn't even count, as no one is on the same level as him power wise. Alan Scott really can't be killed. His powers have made him fairly immortal, although they have been limited in reason years. Back to the Hal/Kyle question, they've done as good a job as they can as far as seperating the two, and DC did a fairly good job establishing him as THE Green Lantern as far as placement and importance in their scheme of things. The only thing is that GL has never had a really good creative team on it. And that goes for both Kyle and Hal.

Definitely. But he's still not at AK47 level.

Yeah, he went from a guy with a GL ring to being almost as good as Hal. Then he absorbed all the GLs and became Ion and almost went Hal Jordan on us. Now he's normal again. I took a leave from actively reading comic books around 1996, and started reading again in late 2001/early 2002 during Kyle's Ion phase. Basically what happened was that once he relived himself of the Ion powers, he reignited the GL Power Battery which in turn wound up returning the guardians (the little blue guys who run the GL corps). The only difference is that they are all extremely young and stil children. Kyle decided that too much of the galaxy had been abandoned once the Corps was destroyed, so he went into space to help where ever he was needed. He reappointed John Stewart as Earth's GL. Personally, his life has gotten more interesting. The series dealt with Kyle's gay friend being the victim of a hate crime, and Kyle even winding up getting engaged to Jade (the green woman with the power of a GL ring and the daughter of the original GL, Alan Scott). Me being broke has forced me to stop reading stuff cold turkey, and last I read it seemed like Jade was in the process of trying to back out of the engagement or cheating on Kyle.

Maybe this means that Inoki is going to wind up announcing that commercial NJPW DVDs will be available in the US?

They haven't said. But DC is doing another *big event* mini series this summer and they have said that one character will wind up getting killed, so maybe that.

Hal is the definitive Green Lantern, but I feel kind of doubtful about how they'll handle his return. I know that sales is definitely part of this; lets face it, GL is never a well selling or buzz book. I can see it being big the first story arc of the new GL series and all of the obligatory guest appearances in the other major titles, but then GL fading back to his B level status. Personally, I liked what happened when they put Kyle in the role of GL. It was great watching him grow into the role as one of the top level super heroes in DC. On the other hand, watching Hal's spiral into madness and his redemption as Parrallax and Spectre was really well done. The last Spectre series wasn't that bad when they weren't trying to do Sandman type stories.

Good choice with Webb. He was awesome to watch.

Wally is still at the "pretty good" level.

from newsarama.com Well, I can't believe it. There was no need to do this. So what does everyone else think about this?

This is just a way for Inoki to get the attention of the American IWC fan. They are much more likely to get interested in NJPW than the average American fan who can barely sit through Raw every week.

I wonder what Ladd said that ticked them off.

Star Trek fans are nerdier due to the more "scientific" nature of the storyline. They go around quoting all kinds of bizarre specifications, protocol, policy, and that kind of stuff. Star Wars fans are dorkier, as they go around arguing the finer parts of being a Jedi and such. That is because SW is much more character driven. In my opinion, both have their own strengths. The original Trek series was great. Get past some bad acting and cheesiness, they had some pretty interesting messages. They were even able to pull it together for some really good movies (II, IV, and VI). The next generation is good in its own right, thanks to having some really good character building/evolution through the series. DS9 could be brilliant at times, and Voyager sucked ass. Enterprise is hit or miss. The original three Star Wars movies were great, but they messed up the whole thing with the last two movies and constantly revising/changing the originals. I like both, and for the most party they are both entertaining. Star Wars is looked as being superior, because let's face it, most people that you can identify as being Star Trek fans are really scary.

It's the new sexy beast shirt. They propably have a bunch of white with red ringers left over from when Piper was there last year.

If this was an appearance at the ECW Arena in 1998, this thread would deserve a Welcome Back chant.
