One Giant Hand

Forgive me if I’m late to the party and you folks know about this, but One Giant Hand is a wonderfully surreal web comic that’s more than a little NSFW but makes me smile whenever they put out a new comic.

In Bruges

It’ll be a little quiet round here for the next week or so (apart from a scheduled Mash-Up tomorrow) as Mrs Earth-Prime and I are off to Bruges.

Hopefully there’ll be fewer guns involved while we’re there.

Suck My Fist!

I’m still working on the Legends annotations (have just finished the crossovers between #3 and #4) and while reading them, came across this gem from Firestorm #56:

I’m not advocating violence but if anyone ever needs to punch someone in the face, I insist they tell the bad guy to “Suck my fist!”

RIP Stan Lee

Being a solid DC fan throughout my formative comic years, I missed out on much of Stan Lee’s presence – he was Marvel through and through, of course, so I didn’t have much contact with his creations.

You had to be living under a rock, though, to not know about him or what he’d done. It’s a shame some of his collaborators – particularly Jack Kirby – aren’t such household names to those outside of comics, but there’s no denying that Lee was one of the giants in the industry . . . and now he’s dead.

This cover probably won’t be used much over the coming days but these stories are the only thing I have in my collection written by Stan Lee.

Not his best work in terms of dialogue, but the ideas are there. How different things could have been.

RIP, Stan.
