[The One and Only]

^Also before 1963 ended up dropped by Image in a big purge by the company's founders in 1993, the storyline set up was to be resolved in an Annual, with Jim Lee on the art detail. Basically it was to be a compar/contrast on how the look and feel of characters in comics differeed in the (then) modern age of books to the Silver Age characters. The 1963 characters also put in an appearance in the ShadowHawk mini ,The Monster Within, in which the character was searching for a cure for the AIDS virus that he was infected with. The search took him to 1963 where he met the Fury, Johhny Beyond, and the Tomorrow Syndicate. He teamed up with the heroes to stop the villain Comrade Cockroach's villainous plan to destroy the U.S with what would end up being the AIDS virus. I remeber the reviewers coming down hard on this story, because it being a communist plot was stupid. But surprising enoughthere are a lot on the left who belkieve the HIV/AIDS virus was created by the United States origiginally depopulate Africa, but ended up making its way to these shores as well.

Hey guys, I'm sure this has been mentioned before, but I've been reading Alan Moore's run on Supreme, and in his first issue there's a character that shrugs off an absurdity with the phrase "Banna Oil." So, I guess Moore really is a big Godzilla fan...the implication alone is mind-boggling.

^ Really? Well that's interesting.

And bump a dee bump.

Gonna read the third volume of the hack/slash omnibus soon WHICH btw if none of you have read is a MAJOR must read for fans of slasher films.

But onto something that'll interest hellspawn which hey! Involves a spawn from hell.

So I hear Spawn is FINALLY getting the omnibus treatment, sort of. It's apart of image's compendium collection I think? Basically a whole ton of issues but no hardcover and it's close to 50 to 75 bucks. Yeah

I know witchblade, the darkness, the walking dead, and invincible all have this and the fact that Spawn is getting one was awesome.... Until I read about it.

You get all those issues, forty to fifty in a huge omnibus thing BUT there's a catch and I hate that they did this: all of the issues are in black and white. To this I say that's a big ripoff as NONE of that happened with those other series, to my knowledge and this seems more of a greedy way to get more money.

What should of been done was what they did with savage dragon and make it like a showcase or essential book.

[The One and Only]

It was just unveiled last week, the official announcement for....ARMY OF DARKNESS Vs. HACK/slash, in which the heroine of HACK/slash series, Cassandra "Cassie" Hack, has tried to settle down for a normal life with Georgia Peaches in the wake of the end of the tragic victory in HACK/slash#25 She finds her plans for normalcy derailed when her new home is disrupted by the Deadites. So to stop this onslaught of Evil Dead, she joins forces with Chosen One himself, Ashley "Ash" Williams. Hopefully, Cassie won't kill Ash when he tries to get some sugar from the Slasher Slayer, before the two can retrieve the lost pages from the Necromicon, and set things right. The six issue mini will be hitting comic store shelves this July from Image Comics and Dynamite Entertainment. Written by HACK/slash co-creator Tim Seeley, with covers by his collaborator in the creation of Ms. Hack, Stefano Casselli.

The mini's writer and fellow Inhumanoids fan Tim Seeley.

And co-creator of 30 DAYS OF NIGHT, Ben Templesmith.
