So I went to Wizard World Philly with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
littledarkvoice last Sunday. There was fun stuff, like seeing (and fangirling) Amanda Conner and getting her to sign my copy of JSA CLASSIFIED #1. And seeing previews and things (the next Manhunter, btw? WOW).
Mostly, though, there were lots of cheap comics. Because my greatest weekness is 25-cent bins, closely followed by 50-cent bins. (And then there were dollar bins, and a full set of GL: MOSAIC (OMG SQUEE!) and the old Ollie action figure reasonably priced, and....so forth!)
Having (somehow!) gotten this all back, I've been reading through, slowly, in alphabetical order. I'm on C.
CAPTAIN AMERICA 202, to be precise--I got a lot of old Cap issues.
Comments so far:
A. BIZARRO #3 completed my set of the series, and is really adorable--it's a series about a Bizarro-duplicate of a "regular guy" who wants to be a singer, and his adventures. This particular issue took place in Apocalips, which was entertaining as always (although not to be taken terribly seriously!).
AMALGAM continues to be excellent, excellent, crack. I was especially fond of CHALLENGERS OF THE FANTASTIC, despite (and perhaps because of) my limited knowledge of both components.
CAMELOT 3000 I bought in large part because Sir Tristan gets reincarnated as a woman, and there is transexual and lesbian loveliness! although in the actual series, Tristan's whining about being a woman gets tiresome after awhile.kerithwyn wrote excellent fic about them, though. And then there's my fondness for Baxter paper. Mmmmm. The series as a whole, though, is a lot of fun--King Arthur fighting aliens is TOTALLY better than it sounds.
CAPTAIN AMERICA: I got a bunch of old Cap/Falc issues for the sheer fondness (along with quite a bit of Waid v3 stuff, which I'll get to later--although I read THIS one already withlittledarkvoice--the interior, sadly, is not nearly as awesome--for scary values of awesome--as the cover).
Things that are still awesome: Falcon's first meeting with Nick Fury, from Cap v1 #135. (Sorry the bottom of the first page got chopped off--Cap is saying "That's it. Now you've got it." and Falc is saying "Okay, okay, but it'll never replace Coney Island.") *wants a threesome*
And from 202, which is what inspired me to go post, Texas Jack Muldoon's dialogue to Cap, "Ah, s'pose yore this Falcon's saddle buddy and yore as consarned an' mystified as I am!" Saddle buddy indeed. :D :D :D
