The League of Extremely Nostalgic Gentlemen: April 2014
http://lxng.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Thursday, April 17, 2014. This past week, Dynamite introduced another Flash Gordon series. The last one was not perfect but still highly enjoyable and loosely based on the '80's Sam Jones version combining much of the known Flash universe comic strip elements with the fun, stylized movie version. Complete with Klytus! Flash Gordon one of the best new comics I've seen in a long while. If you liked Francesco Francavilla's Black Beetle (Dark Horse), you will find this just as fun but in a sci-fi way! Sure S...

The League of Extremely Nostalgic Gentlemen: August 2013
http://lxng.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Tuesday, August 27, 2013. Howard Chaykin In The 25th Century. Is publishing a new Buck Rogers In The 25th Century. Comic series by comics legend Howard Chaykin. The first issue in comics shops now! All I'll say is it's Buck Rogers back to his roots, and it's great fun. Chaykin brings a depth to the character within the context often ignored. And I had no idea it was going to be there! Buck Rogers was born in the pulps! Created by Philip Francis Nowlan. To be clear, he started out as Anthony Rogers. There...

Tuesday, October 22, 2013. The Indy Hunter Interview with Dirk Manning. Hi Dirk, thanks’ for a taking the time out of what I can see is a very busy schedule! First off, If you don’t mind, can you recap a little bit on who Mr. Rhee is for those that were maybe slow to the show? DIRK MANNING: It’s my pleasure, man! Back when you created Nightmare World if ever there was a character that would spin out of those stories was Mr. Rhee that characters always? DM: Honestly, I think a lot of it has to do with the...

The League of Extremely Nostalgic Gentlemen: May 2014
http://lxng.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, May 1, 2014. Al Feldstein Legendary EC Comics, writer/artist, and Mad Magazine editor died yesterday at 88. I had only discovered EC later in my comics reading life. Like discovering jazz or classical music as you get older, when people begin looking for something more than the juvenile mainstream they've seemingly outgrown. Al Feldstein, was a wonderfully talented story teller. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). The League of Nostalgic Gentlemen Message Board. Feel free to to leav...

http://lxng.blogspot.com/2014/02/orange-is-new-black-white.html
Wednesday, February 12, 2014. Orange is the new black and white. About a week ago I'm watching one of the weekend shows on MSNBC. I'm watching a great news show, and next is Alex Witt about interview Rachel Maddow @maddow. On the Weekends with Alex Witt,. But that's still not what's bugging me. Something is off. I'm not seeing something. So I paused the thing. Then I see it, the "Zot! Is a comic book created back in the eighties, by Scott McCloud. Anyway, go buy a copy of Scott McCloud's ZOT! And check o...

Wednesday, April 9, 2014. Up on the shelf. Have you ever really liked a band, comedian or an artist or anyone creative for that matter, followed their work for a while and then had some hipster store clerk let you know they think the new stuff is crap and that they like their early work better? Well, hold on to your Barrista apron. DC Comics has been re-printing of the earliest Golden Age Superman adventures in a series of books called Superman Chronicles. Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster. Welcome to the com...

Monday, June 9, 2014. Rain of the supermen. There have been many supermen besides Superman. The bookstores are full of them. Be they homage like Alan Moore's Supreme, Astro City's Samaritan or just a doppelganger stand-in, used to tell less mainstream or more creative Superman tales. There was supposed to be a review in here somewhere, wasn't there? Edison Rex Volume 1: Into the White,. And Edison Rex Volume 2: Heir Apparent. Both by Chris Roberson and Dennis Culver.
