Spector Teacher Location: Baton Rouge, LA Posts: 282 My Collection	Posted: December 13, 2018 9:45:28 am I just started dipping my toes into Western books, finally adding two 50's era books into my collection, so thanks for the info on Shadow Roads and the Sixth Gun. I am interested to see the modern day take on Western books now. People want to know. How can I live like this? The risks? The times I've descended into madness? The times I've died? How can I live like this? How could I live any other way?
Rapha1978 Comic Guru Location: North Carolina Posts: 635 My Collection	Posted: December 13, 2018 11:08:40 am I was never a fan of The Hulk but may just have to find myself that issue. Don't know how that slipped past my radar. It looks like a fun read. So did Marvel redo X-Tinction Agenda? I don't keep up with modern Marvel anymore. Shame they've run out of ideas and keep rehashing old stories. The storyline from the 90s was a classic. We strike hard and fade away into the night

edgos2 Teacher lifetime member Location: Copley, Ohio Posts: 450 My Collection	Posted: December 20, 2018 8:54:30 am In Episode 169, Cool Comics takes a look at several Christmas themed issues, including the newest holiday special from the Walmart collaboration, Mr. Magoo’s Christmas Carol, and Disney. We also go back to early Conan in anticipation of new Marvel Conan stories next month, the diabolical Batman Who Laughs, and a couple digital delights. https://edgosney.com/2018/12/20/seasons-greetings-by-crom/ See my blog, Cool Comics in My Collection, at https://edgosney.com/
atom Comic Guru Location: Utah Posts: 581 My Collection	Posted: December 20, 2018 11:47:44 pm I bought three of those Wal-Mart holiday specials as stocking stuffers for my youngest nieces. I think they make great (small) Christmas gifts. They won't break the bank and they're a pretty nice introduction to comics, having a variety of pretty good stories and a decent range of characters under one cover. Favorite Characters: Lone Ranger, Green Hornet, Captain America, The Shadow, Zorro, The Rocketeer, Jonah Hex
edgos2 Teacher lifetime member Location: Copley, Ohio Posts: 450 My Collection	Posted: December 21, 2018 8:25:30 am Atom, I bought each of my three kids both the Holiday Walmart special and the one that came out at Halloween. Using them as stocking stuffers is a great idea! See my blog, Cool Comics in My Collection, at https://edgosney.com/
edgos2 Teacher lifetime member Location: Copley, Ohio Posts: 450 My Collection	Posted: December 27, 2018 5:08:27 am In Episode 170, *Recently Read Digital Comics* spotlights the promising start of a fun new "don't miss it" series, sons of the World's Finest meet in 1965, the Electric Company pays a visit, and remember, "You do not talk about fight club." https://edgosney.com/2018/12/27/saying-goodbye-to-2018-in-apocalyptic-proportions/ See my blog, Cool Comics in My Collection, at https://edgosney.com/
atom Comic Guru Location: Utah Posts: 581 My Collection	Posted: December 28, 2018 5:40:56 am It ain't easy confessing you've never seen Fight Club, so I'll come out and admit I've never seen the whole thing either. Just bits here and there. I guess we're members of the "No Fight Club".

edgos2 Teacher lifetime member Location: Copley, Ohio Posts: 450 My Collection	Posted: December 28, 2018 7:47:05 am The older I get, the more I realize I won't get to read and watch everything out there. See my blog, Cool Comics in My Collection, at https://edgosney.com/
atom Comic Guru Location: Utah Posts: 581 My Collection	Posted: December 28, 2018 8:31:01 am Ain't THAT the truth! As I dig through my daughter's pretty respectable collection (10 Longboxes) for Marvel comics I really see that there's a lot of stuff out there I haven't even thought of reading yet. . .

edgos2 Teacher lifetime member Location: Copley, Ohio Posts: 450 My Collection	Posted: January 3, 2019 7:28:16 am This week we feature Pink, Green, and Blue!...as in the Ever-Lovin' Blue-Eyed Thing (and I guess we could add Orange here, too)! Lots of color for your four-color reading pleasure. https://edgosney.com/2019/01/03/pink-panther-green-lantern-and-the-ever-lovin-blue-eyed-thing/ See my blog, Cool Comics in My Collection, at https://edgosney.com/
edgos2 Teacher lifetime member Location: Copley, Ohio Posts: 450 My Collection	Posted: January 10, 2019 7:39:12 am Would Conan be able to conquer Hundred Acre Wood? I don't think a Pooh-Conan crossover will ever happen, and I'm not sure if we'd want it to! But Cool Comics is a place where you can read about both on the same page. Be sure not to miss this week's episode as we bring you lots of neat things and plenty of four-color joy. https://edgosney.com/2019/01/10/fun-times-with-conan-the-barbarian-and-winnie-the-pooh/ See my blog, Cool Comics in My Collection, at https://edgosney.com/

edgos2 Teacher lifetime member Location: Copley, Ohio Posts: 450 My Collection	Posted: January 24, 2019 8:39:48 am Episode 174: Marvel's 80th Anniversary sees the return of Marvel Comics Presents, Dirk Manning is a master storyteller, Maxwell's Demons might make you shed a tear, and Casper is the friendliest ghost you know!

edgos2 Teacher lifetime member Location: Copley, Ohio Posts: 450 My Collection	Posted: January 31, 2019 10:37:38 am Episode 175: The Guardians of the Galaxy are back but different, Cheryl and Jason Blossom are vying for the title of Anti-Christ, we bring Disney's Little Mermaid to you courtesy of FCBD, the Coyote is still after the Road Runner, and Green Lantern claims that he's guilty of "the most dreadful crime in the universe!" https://edgosney.com/2019/01/31/guardians-blossoms-and-manhunters-oh-my/ See my blog, Cool Comics in My Collection, at https://edgosney.com/
Spector Teacher Location: Baton Rouge, LA Posts: 282 My Collection	Posted: January 31, 2019 4:05:57 pm Episode #175 huh? Nice milestone there! About the portion concerning reading habits, I am right with you there. Reading is reading, whether it is a literary classic or a comic book. Some comic writers are literary greats as it is. And, with comic books, you get the best of both worlds. Beautiful, provoking artwork working in conjunction with the story that you are reading. Personally, I think that avid comic book readers are more intelligent, have a better imagination, and a bigger vocabulary. Machete was telling me about that Blossoms book last week. I may have to check it out. I didn't realize it was a tv series as well. People want to know. How can I live like this? The risks? The times I've descended into madness? The times I've died? How can I live like this? How could I live any other way?
edgos2 Teacher lifetime member Location: Copley, Ohio Posts: 450 My Collection	Posted: January 31, 2019 9:23:14 pm Spector, great assessment of comic book readers. To clarify, there is not a Blossoms 666 TV show, but I was just mentioning that some of the characters from the Riverdale show who are dead are present in the Blossoms 666 comic. Sorry for any confusion...and maybe it will be a show someday. See my blog, Cool Comics in My Collection, at https://edgosney.com/
Spector Teacher Location: Baton Rouge, LA Posts: 282 My Collection	Posted: February 1, 2019 6:35:55 pm Oh my mistake entirely. I have caught a few episodes of Riverdale on Netflix, and it is pretty decent. I got one of the FCBD issues last year as well. I still prefer the old school Archie and the Gang, but still glad they put a modern take on things too. People want to know. How can I live like this? The risks? The times I've descended into madness? The times I've died? How can I live like this? How could I live any other way?
Spector Teacher Location: Baton Rouge, LA Posts: 282 My Collection	Posted: February 2, 2019 12:31:05 pm Both you and MacheteF7 stirred my interest in that Blossoms 666 book, and picked up the last remaining cover C variant at the LCS today. In addition to that, I found a Vampironica #1 in the dollar bins. So, now 2 current Archie books added to my collection! People want to know. How can I live like this? The risks? The times I've descended into madness? The times I've died? How can I live like this? How could I live any other way?
edgos2 Teacher lifetime member Location: Copley, Ohio Posts: 450 My Collection	Posted: February 2, 2019 2:15:41 pm Nice! I really have fun with the modern Archie horror stuff. In April they are crossing Jughead the Hunger (werewolf) with Vampironica! See my blog, Cool Comics in My Collection, at https://edgosney.com/
Spector Teacher Location: Baton Rouge, LA Posts: 282 My Collection	Posted: February 2, 2019 6:37:45 pm Now that does sound interesting. I read both the Blossoms and the Vampironica book, and thoroughly enjoyed them both. Now, they did have a Jughead the Hunger that was a Werewolf by Night #32 homage that I have been wanting. If I remember correctly, there was some sort of problem with the printing, and all copies that were produced came out in pretty bad condition. Occasionally I will do a search for it, but haven't found any decent copies of it. People want to know. How can I live like this? The risks? The times I've descended into madness? The times I've died? How can I live like this? How could I live any other way?
edgos2 Teacher lifetime member Location: Copley, Ohio Posts: 450 My Collection	Posted: February 2, 2019 7:09:39 pm I just have the regular covers for the entire series, but of course as a Moon Knight fan you need that one! Best wishes on finding a good one. See my blog, Cool Comics in My Collection, at https://edgosney.com/
edgos2 Teacher lifetime member Location: Copley, Ohio Posts: 450 My Collection	Posted: February 7, 2019 7:47:01 am Episode 176: Marvel is celebrating 80 years and we take a Journey with them to Unknown Worlds! Azrael pays a visit from my legendary longbox, our weekly look at Free Comic Book Day features the Metabaron, Uncle Scrooge and friends travel through time, and it's Wild Boy of the Congo to the rescue! https://edgosney.com/2019/02/07/would-you-dare-journey-into-unknown-worlds/ See my blog, Cool Comics in My Collection, at https://edgosney.com/
Spector Teacher Location: Baton Rouge, LA Posts: 282 My Collection	Posted: February 9, 2019 6:55:05 am I had the Journey into Unknown worlds in my hands last week, but available spending funds vs the books I "needed" prevailed, and I was forced to put it back. It does look interesting enough, and I love these retro-eque-reboot books that Marvel is doing. Kind of takes you back in time. I may have to give it another look, if they still have it now knowing the writer for that Cherry Blossoms book is the same for this book. I did enjoy the Cherry book. People want to know. How can I live like this? The risks? The times I've descended into madness? The times I've died? How can I live like this? How could I live any other way?
edgos2 Teacher lifetime member Location: Copley, Ohio Posts: 450 My Collection	Posted: February 14, 2019 7:17:26 am Episode 177: Cool Comics is Like a Box of Chocolates...that's right, you never know what you're going to get with CCIMC, and being that we're publishing on Valentine's Day, you just knew we'd have to go with a romantic theme. We're bringing you a mix this episode that varies from Valentine's Day red on the covers to hearts circling young lovers' heads to dashing spies to outright romance comics. https://edgosney.com/2019/02/14/for-the-love-of-cool-comics/ See my blog, Cool Comics in My Collection, at https://edgosney.com/
Spector Teacher Location: Baton Rouge, LA Posts: 282 My Collection	Posted: February 15, 2019 1:56:43 am Picked up the new DD#1 last week and enjoyed it. Even happier that there was not a big wait from the end of the last volume. Now that battle is probably one that I bet nobody has thought of. I may have to put my thinking cap on before responding on your blog. I am fans of both. Nice touch tossing up some of the romance titles to go with the holiday. I peek at some of the golden/silver age titles for sale here and again, and wow, some are pretty pricey, especially in the higher conditions. Stan Lee and Jack Kirby both have done some work in the romance books. People want to know. How can I live like this? The risks? The times I've descended into madness? The times I've died? How can I live like this? How could I live any other way?
edgos2 Teacher lifetime member Location: Copley, Ohio Posts: 450 My Collection	Posted: February 15, 2019 7:12:33 am Spector, I think the Daredevil - James Bond fight could be very interesting, if 007 has the right gadgets. And yes, high grade romance titles can get pricey. It never bothers me to get low grade comics, because then I get the joy of reading them, can put them in my blog, and have plenty left over for the new stuff coming out.

edgos2 Teacher lifetime member Location: Copley, Ohio Posts: 450 My Collection	Posted: February 21, 2019 7:39:09 am Episode 178: This week Cool Comics requests more Batman/Flash crossovers, checks in with Oblivion Song, goes deep sea diving with Garth, explores the Worlds of Aspen, travels back to Mickey Mouse in the Thirties, and wonders "What If?" https://edgosney.com/2019/02/21/what-if-i-found-a-cool-comic-for-just-a-quarter/ See my blog, Cool Comics in My Collection, at https://edgosney.com/
Spector Teacher Location: Baton Rouge, LA Posts: 282 My Collection	Posted: February 21, 2019 10:12:52 am Well, I for one, have not read anything about Oblivion Song, so thank you for the review. Image has a number of really well written books that are available, and many that are current. Last month I scored a lot of Copperhead comic books for 99 cents. It had every issue except 2. I was able to find one of the missing books at the LCS, but have not picked up #5. (Mainly because I hate to pay $4 for the book and match that for shipping for one book, when I got the lot for such a great deal). So, I have read #1-4 and absolutely love it. A Sci-Fi Western, who would have thought? Anyways, there are a good bit of Image books around with some great stories (and terrific artwork) for all to enjoy...like Oblivion Song (and Copperhead too!)

edgos2 Teacher lifetime member Location: Copley, Ohio Posts: 450 My Collection	Posted: February 21, 2019 10:19:23 am I'll keep my eye out for Copperhead when I'm digging around in discount boxes! Thanks for the heads-up on that one, Spector. With all the offerings that come out every month in Previews, sometimes difficult decisions have to be made. In a perfect world, we'd all be able to get every issue that sounds interesting...but alas, most of us don't have the funds for it. See my blog, Cool Comics in My Collection, at https://edgosney.com/
