    I'm not sure about one-shots, but they've announced a Vampirella vs Project Superpowers book as a follow-up to those Red Sonja/Vampirella meet Project Superpowers book.

    I know you generally don't...

    They narrowed it down to one and completely did away with any mystery about who he is.

    Completely subverted the whole "Phantom" part of the character.

    Knowing the Phantom Stranger's actual origin as recounted in the New 52 is the one that comes to mind.

    He works so much better when his backstory remains uncertain.

  6. Vampirella vs Red Sonja (a quasi-Project Superpowers book)

    Soooo, after months and months of waiting we finally get the proper sequel to the Red Sonja and Vamirella books that were grounded in Project Superpowers. Basically Dan Abnett served up a novel take...

    I thought the "man out of time" part was really well done - one of the parts that surprised me.

    I had no expectations about this and wound up loving it. It was definitely a popcorn flick - but that's the appeal. Loved the JSA - thought each of the actors were fantastic - and absolutely...

    Yes, I'm definitely excited. Give him a script that allows the character to really shine.

    That's awesome. Parker is probably one of the more unheralded writers of the moment. I absolutely LOVED his Flash Gordon run and related work. He reminds me of Mark Waid. So this should be really...

    This looks cool. Masquerade by Phil Hester was one of my favorite minis of the original material, and I'm always up for the Woman in Red (who I believe is the first female masked super hero).

    Okay this was good. This feels like "Chapter 4" - a genuine continuation of the "Chapter Chronology". Definitely enjoying this.

    Finally got to read #2 and #3. I'm enjoying it so far. Seems fairly in keeping with the spirit of the franchise, so to speak, and got enough of a mystery going to keep me intrigued. Looking...

    So the second issues out, and it really does seem like they're leaning into the one-shots and secondary mini's that accompanied the original P:SP chapters. Quite a bit of this issue involves the...

    Just read it -- it's mostly set-up, which is fine. There's a character who seems to be a bit of a Tesla/Hughes cross, which is in keeping with the usual stories. I think I'll have a better feel for...

    Was just getting ready to start a thread on this. Read it and enjoyed it. Set around 30 years into the future, so it can be seen as a continuation of the original "Chapters" series. Enjoyed how...

    Lots of good suggestions on this thread.

    I'd add the Legends mini-series and all the assorted tie-ins.

    Just read that a few weeks ago (lucky to have one myself). It's really impressive.

    Currently reading JLI Omnibus v. 1.

    Have to say this is better than Snyder’s efforts. It’s clearer and much more parsimonious. I quite like it.

    Sonambulo is awesome! So many great indie comics that deserve a wider audience. Sometimes I have to shake my head at comic fans. No offense to anyone, but how can fans read the nth spin-off title...

    Truly devastated to hear this. He’s a legend and I this really hurts to learn.

    This. All of this. DKR was the real turning point as it punctuated all the elements that had been seeded by O'Neil and Englehart, etc. And it's just snowballed from there.

    I would add that...

    That’s the Heckler with a new costume! I’m so on board for this now! Nice shirt indeed.

    Given that DC literally rejuvenated the superhero genre - invented the multiverse - and created the whole concept of a legacy character in the 50’s with the creation of Barry Allen, I think it’s...
