"I've read Saucer Country: Finale now, and it does an admirable job of trying up many of the countless loose ends of the series. The truncation of the last chapter into 1 comic (instead of the planned 6) is apparent in a few sequences that are really…"
"Thanks for the detail, Richard -- and it's great to see you connect with family! Glad you found the issue, Mark! I haven't read it yet, but probably will get to it today.I have read issues 1-6 of Saucer State now, and feel like the story goes off…"
"Thanks for the info. I was ready to buy the Kindle version, but there isn't one! I can't see paying cover price or greater plus shipping, so I guess I'll just hold off for now. Maybe I can pick up a copy at HeroesCon in June."
"The flag to the right of the U.S. flag on her pin is the state of New Mexico. I looks like a cross in this undetailed image. It is a symbol of the Zia indigenous people. Here is a more detailed image of the state flag.
"It's a regular-size $3.99 comic published in February by Image, by the original creative team of Cornell and Kelly. I haven't read it yet. But it also has a preview in it for an upcoming Image product, GROOM LAKE: GREY SKIES ABOVE (by Ben…"
"I always thought this series was more interesting in concept than execution. But I thought I had read all of it! Can you tell me anything more about that finale Image comic?

"In actual paper comics, I've been rereading Paul Cornell and Ryan Kelly's Saucer Country, from Vertigo in 2012. It's about an New Mexico governor, Arcadia Alvarado, who is running for President -- but who has also had an abduction encounter with…"
"I haven’t read Psychoanalysis, but this time period is interesting. When Wertham testified to Congress, there was already a baked-in belief in psychiatry as an exact science. Watching the movies of the late 40s and early 50s, every time a…"
Let me just say up front that I LOVE that a comic book based on "People Searching for Peace of Mind though... Psychoanalysis" exists, or once did. (The reason why is another matter.) It traces the treatment of…"
Chances are, if you're reading this post, you're familiar with the often-reprinted story "Master Race" by Bill Gaines, Al Feldstein and Bernie Krigstein from (Tales Designed to Carry an...) Impact #1. It has been…"
"I've kept reading DC's New 52-era Earth 2 comics, and there keep being more of them than I thought! I got through the end of Earth 2: World's End (a giant mess, skip it!), only to discover that before getting to Earth 2: Society, the main Earth 2…"
"MARVEL ADVENTURES AVENGERS: I recently read Marvel Adventures Avengers digest v1-6 (reprinting #1-23 of the regular series and Annual #1) and discovered it was my favorite version of Avengers since Kurt Busiek's run. It took me a few weeks to track…"
I'm working my way through those Zoids strips myself. I thought I'd read the whole run as the Morrison stuff is right at the end and I wanted all the context.
They're good fun. I think I'm scratching the itch I had as a kid when I couldn't afford those big lumps of colourful plastic that looked so cool in the ads.
