I can't even be bothered to read MT now. Maybe once a month or so I'll look and it's just flat out boring. But so is Judge Parker, so, no, it is not a substitute. Mary Worth is good fun, tho. I'd be up for a Mary Worth thread if people actually up for that kind of snark read.

Contemporary Nancy is pretty good if we want to go on a less "realistic" route. But that's not really snarkworthy, it's just good.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑29 Apr 2022, 3:35pmI can't even be bothered to read MT now. Maybe once a month or so I'll look and it's just flat out boring.

How is Rex Morgan MD these days. He used to be the Mark Trail of doctors.

I only know what's happening (sort of) via Comics Curmudgeon, but it isn't especially interesting.

Re: Flex and Wolter's Den of Nerdly Awesomeness
What happened to John Byrne between his time on UXM and starting FF and Alpha Flight? His art is a lot sketchier (lazier?) on those following books, not as clean as I came to expect from his mutant work. Is it just that he was splitting the time writing and so he didn't have enough time to draw?

Re: Flex and Wolter's Den of Nerdly Awesomeness
I actually prefer his art on FF (never read AF, so I can't comment) over UXM. Or maybe I'm not that enamoured with Terry Austin's inks. Either way, his FF is the high point of his career to me.Kory wrote: ↑04 May 2022, 4:36pmWhat happened to John Byrne between his time on UXM and starting FF and Alpha Flight?

Re: Flex and Wolter's Den of Nerdly Awesomeness
Picked these up recently, part of my rekindled love with All Things Western:
First EC Archives books I've bought from Dark Horse's reissue campaign. They look great - oversized, crisp, etc. I think the Archives line is rather controversial for the digital recoloring, and it looks good but definitely lacks the pulpy quality of scans of old EC Comics originals. Nice little forwards included. I was impressed by how enjoyable these were, especially for "pre-trend" EC. A lot of these are pretty violent, grisly tales that with EC's commitment to body counts and just - often ironic - desserts meted out to the bad guys at the end of every story they wouldn't take too much modification to appear in a New Trend title with, like, some decaying cowboy corpses or something. Out of the stories I've read so far, one in particular features a "true account" of Belle Starr (an interesting historical figure, a fairly mysterious member of the James-Younger Gang) which features her being literally stalked by the character Death over the years and ending up in a bad way at the end of her line. That one could simply be plopped into one of their later horror titles with no modification. One of the forwards makes the, I think correct, observation that while the moralizing of these stories is Classic Hollywood Western the body counts and subject matter really foretell the coming of the spaghetti and revisionist westerns that were a few years off on the horizon.
The artists working on the titles include a lot of house guys who would stay with EC on the new trend stuff, so it's all mostly great to look at, even when the story lacks. I'll probably pick up a few of their horror titles closer to Halloween, as REMEBERING will course through my veins then.
