I'm outta here people...off to the land where the deer and the antelope play (Really they literally walk through my back yard...but they're off limits to hunt...city limits ya know...smart little four legged critters)
Off to the big WY, blue skies, mountains, clean air...my older son and daughter will continue the tried and true tradition of picking up my comics from cosmic and mailing them to me...I'm not driving 270 miles round trip every Wednesday to pick up comics (Sheridan WY)...the U.S. mail will have to suffice. But I will still continue to post as I have since day one of the Cosmic Comics Web site!!!...

Keep it real...fresh...and above all...Keep it Cosmic!!!!!! READ ON!!!!!!!

Does the world need more laughter?....sure it does...but at the expense of a historically self motivated, knuckle busting, suave, hard nose, intuitive, and dramatically portrayed character such as the Green Hornet...No.

Don't get me wrong, I like Seth Rogen I really do, but historically speaking this just isn't the Green Hornet that should be presented to audiences hoping for a little action and adventure without too much slapstick...which this film tends to have. Not just that alone but the over tendency to just add wise ass "ooops did I do that" actions in the film as well.

Sadly another Green Hornet film can not be made after this one unless of course it follows the same trend of comedy and limp "!*ck" humor that runs amok; unbridled throughout the film.

This film might be great for younger viewers who just don't know about the 1940's and 1960's versions (serial and television) not to forget the radio shows as well, of a character with a heroic/historic family past. You have to wonder if the Hornet's blood relationship with the Lone Ranger will even be mentioned or at least hinted at. Yea, yea, yea I know the legal complications and all that, but at least a fair mention wouldn't hurt.

"The Lone Ranger property was sold to another company in the 1950s, which resulted in a legal complication that precluded The Lone Ranger being directly associated with the Green Hornet (though a comic book from NOW Comics depicted the Britt Reid's living room furnished with a painting of a man dressed very similarly to the Lone Ranger, and the radio series had expressly indicated the presence of just such a portrait hanging there)" - Wikipedia -

The present comics are really nicely done and I can only hope that the readers of the series can decide for themselves the version that best portrays the spirit of the Green Hornet.
Of course I'll see the film and probably enjoy it on a certain level...but the tried and true depictions of the past will always remain the best of those generations...it's just too bad that the powers that be felt that a little levity was needed in a politically correct sense.

But we'll see.....

A rocket ship is sent to Mars to rescue the crew of an earlier ship that crashed there. Only the captain of the first ship survived long enough to be rescued. When he told his rescuers about how a monster had killed off the rest of his crew, they all assumed that he had murdered them in an effort to extend his own chances of survival, and were ordered by the authorities on Earth to bring him back to stand trial for the murder of his crew. Due to the carelessness of one of the crew on the rescue ship, an airlock was left open through which the creature entered the ship. When first one crewman, and then another disappear, the rest of the crew starts believing Ed's story, and they suddenly find themselves all in a battle for their very survival.

Presented in 3 issues, get issue 1 before it's too late!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Comic Book Guy attempts to out do the G.N.K. for the position of the new Lard Lad!

So after realising that he has narrowly escaped death by dessert, Comic Book Guy decide that life must be lived for today...and invests all of his money in an auction for movie memorabilia.
Great stuff...especially Superguy's rocket...that happened to be loaded with fuel...Big Bang moment here...Is Comic Book Guy dead for real? What will happen to the Android's Dungeon? Will his left-handed fat man and lazy boy chair be delivered now? Is this the end of all that is holey??...stay tuned...as Stan the Man Lee make his appearance in issue #2!!!

W H A T the Hell?!?!?!?!

Mad Max meets Blade Runner meets Roller Ball(1975) meets Death Race 2000(1975)meets Dark City meets....Oh never Mind...

Hellllllllllllllll Yes!...But don't go berserk trying to collect all four covers...Unless of course you're a FM freak...then by all means go for it.

Personally though...They could have done without the Predator fanfare...I'm not really big on the Predator or Alien thing, but given that it's the next big thing in Sci-Fi films this year then I suppose FM, keeping in continuity with the 70's and 80's sci-fi content of its magazine did a very good job of presenting the next Predator film.

The Article " The Importance of Fear" by Robert Aragon is done with that classic twist of words and pictures that complement each other. Classic works by Renaissance artists such as Fuseli, Bosch, Bruegel, Claesx and the Romantic period of Goya and the expressionistic art of Edvard Munch go well with what Aragon has to say about the human nature of fear and the unknown...the hidden.

The William Stout interview is another classic piece of work giving insight to the man and his image magic.

This revival issue is itself going to be a classic piece of work, if for the only reason, to stand out among the many articles and interviews, is the one interview AND original never before published short story by Ray Bradbury.

Magazines such as Graham's magazine, who published Poe's stories and LIFE magazine when it published Hemingway's "The Old Man and The Sea", Weird Tales Magazine publishing Robert E. Howard's Conan stories, even Playboy magazine and its publication of the "Fly" by George Langelaan in it's June 1957 issue...this interview and short story will make this issue an instant collectors piece.

If you didn't take advantage of the offering...get yer arse out there and partake of the history.

START YOUR ENGINES!!!!!

Famous Monsters is on it's way and COSMIC has it!!!!!!

Get on the hearse and grab those copies before they disappear into the abyss of the collectors nether world!!!!

----Now...if we could just entice the powers at the Cosmic Collective to carry Scary Monsters Magazine...Bwahahahahaha!!!

does cosmic comics take trading cards of any sort in large amounts and action figures or figure. i have alot of yugioh, duel master, pokemon, magic the gathering, dragon ball z, and digimon cards. i do have quite a bit of rares and holos and i am looking for a place to just sell it all in one shot or something. all together i have around 3000 cards. i have a world of warcraft action figure and comic that goes with it. i also have a shonen jump issue that i never used and there is a rare yugioh card that is inside of it. the card is in near mint and most of the other cards are in near mint as well. i have those gold plated pokemon bars that you could get back awhile ago from burger king which are in pretty good condition and a yugioh dark magicion girl collectors tin in good condition no cracks or dents in it.
i also have the 2 yugioh god cards in near mint as well.

another thing i have some other trading card accessories that im looking to get rid of such as: trading card sleeves, deckboxes, 9 sleeves for the binder, a placement mat

if anyone could give me some ideas of where i could sell some of this stuff that would be awsome and very helpful too.
