[To anybody familiar with the character of #MoonKnight before his #Disney+ Marvel #TVshow premiered, it probably came as no surprise that the godly #vigilante was #Jewish. But there are many more famous characters from both #MarvelComics multiverse & #DCComics multiverse whom you know may not have realized also come from the same #heritage. Let’s shine a spotlight on some of our favorite #JewishSuperheroes — starting with, perhaps, the most surprising name on our list.]

Card 167: War of the Gods B

While I appreciate a thorough block of cardback text, these cards are primarily a visual medium, which means it's problematic when what is written is way more exciting than what is drawn.

Here below're two renderings done with oil paint on canvas that were made by my friends of the Joker and Iron Man. The first one is is on display at my friend Suphannee's studio and gallery, and the second one was made by my friend A, who is an artist that works at my friend Baow's gallery. If anyone out there digs either of these and'd like more info, let me know!

I really wonder about why DC hasn’t done an Omnibus or Collections of the Bronze Age Legion of Super-heroes at this period. DC Infinite is missing most of Dave Cockrum’s run and the beginning of Mike Grell’s.

I wonder if it’s tied up with the reasons Dave left DC?

And now, roughly one year ahead of Superman: Legacy's release, DC is launching a bold (but risky) new line of comics reprints called DC Compact Comics that will be smaller in size like manga and prose novels you see in mainstream stores, with a lower price point. These books will also be pushed to just more than comic stores and bookstores, and find their way to the broader mass market retailers. Look for DC Compact Comics everywhere from your local Walmarts to those Hudson stores you see in nearly every airport and train station.

Just read a great series by ace comic book writer Geoff Johns, titled Stargirl: The Lost Children. In it, he "reintroduces" dozens of supposedly forgotten kid sidekicks of classic superheroes into the DC Universe. It's a lot of fun to read; Johns knows how to use continuity while adding something fresh. Will be interesting to see what he does with these characters in the new ongoing Justice Society series.

Writer of the Adam Link, Robot series in the pulps which were a huge inspiration to #Asimov and others. Then drifted to comics with long runs at Fawcett and DC and short runs at most others. DC editor E. Nelson Bridwell assessed Binder’s total output at "almost 50,000 pages of comics".
