Femforce #142
is now available at the AC Comics webstore.

Stardust is dead, but the rest of the FF must carry on. Not all parties are willing to accept the finality of Dusty's demise, however; and as Nightveil braves the Limbo Void to test the viability of somehow contacting her spirit, she stumbles upon an old mystery that apparently has come back to life. Ms. Victory faces an unexpected reaction from her husband, the man known as Paragon; when he learns that a clone made from genetic material harvested unknowingly from himself and Ms V may exist. Ms. V thinks of "it' as a monster, while Paragon considers it their son!! And when the being himself calls on Rad , it's hardly a family reunion as she beats the heck out of him and sends him packing. Could this unlikely turn of events lead to a reconciliation of sorts- or at least an alliance- between Ms. Victory and her estranged daughter, Rad? The plot thickens in a Femforce tale told in three chapters, "Post Mortem", written by Mark Heike, with art by Jon Doe, Robert Walker, Manuel Bennides, Jeff Austin, Paul Wills and Mark Heike, and a cover by Stephanie and Mark Heike.
Then, in the GTS -mania flip-book portion of the issue, Gargantarama- The Comic Book #6, its more giant-woman fun with epidodes from THREE great series, two of which are written by GTS madman Eric Johnston!! Marla Allison is back as Humonga, as her plan to rule the world of tiny men by amassing a huge personal fortune advances. See her in her new headquarters, a converted airplane hangar,as she belittles her new husband and browbeats her own tiny corporate board of directors!! By Johson, penciler Quinton Bedwell, and inker Rob Lansley. Then, the first episode of "I Married a Gammazon", also written by Eric Johnson, with art by Antonio Rojo and Paul Wills. Remember the Gammazon race from early issues of Femforce? We thought their entire invasion fleet was destroyed, right? Well, maybe it was, but one lone Gammazon was left behind, and she's quietly set up housekeeping with her human husband- until now!! Enter the Femforce, and trouble soon follows!! Finally, Threeta returns, as the superheroine made from the combined molecules of three beautiful young women becomes the focus of a plot hatched between a ruthless gangster and a renegade scientist in a story written by Mark Heike and drawn by Ken Hunt.
Read the front half of the book as a great new issue of Femforce- flip it over, turn it upside down, and it's the latest issue of Gargantarama- The Comic Book!! Femforce #142/Gargantarma #6 is 44 pages, black & white with color covers, saddle-stitched in standard comic book size, and printed in 2007.

Martin Nodell, co-creator of the Green Lantern passes away.
Sunday, December 10, 2006
Martin Nodell is best known in the comics industry for creating the Green Lantern, one of comic's most enduring super-heroes from the Golden Age. Clad in a red and green costume, Green Lantern righted wrongs with his indomitable willpower.
Mr. Nodell passed away yesterday December 9, 2006 at the age of 91.


Mr. Nodell's work includes stories for these Golden Age publishers: Ace: Larry Hannigan, Sands of Doom, The Raven, Buck Steele; Fox: Dr Doom; All American (which was later bought by DC Comics) The Green Lantern. He also worked for Timely (now known as Marvel) Comics on the Human Torch, Captain America and the Submariner.
In the eighties, following his retirement from advertising, Marty was rediscovered by comics. He and his delightful wife Carrie could be found on the convention circuit, selling his sketches. His wife Carrie passed away in April of 2004." (Mark Evanier)
I've met Martin and Carrie at some of the comic book conventions that I went to. I would stop by their table to say a quick "Hello" while I looked over the artwork that Martin was selling. I am a Green Lantern fan, so it was a pleasure to have met the man responsible for creating that comic character.

DC Launches 52THECOMIC.COM
Tuesday, May 09, 2006
Press Release
DC Comics, the largest English-language publisher of comics in the world, announced today the launch of www.52thecomic.com website that allows fans to enter the fictional world of 52, DC Comics’ ambitious weekly, year long mini-series that chronicles the fate of a world without Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman.
While
most comic books traditionally ship on a monthly, or
even bi-monthly basis, 52 will be published by DC
Comics each and every week for one year, beginning
May 10, 2006. The trailblazing series plays out in
“real time” with each issue covering the
events in one week of the DC Universe. Throughout the
course of this historic year, 52thecomic.com will
grant readers access to the headlines of the Daily
Planet—the workplace of acclaimed journalists
Clark Kent and Lois Lane and photographer Jimmy
Olson.
52thecomic.com will function as any “real world” newsmagazine would (with its headlines ripped from the pages of 52) with coverage of the events of the day, including national, world and local news, sports coverage and updated weather forecasts. If it’s snowing in an issue of 52, the site will reflect that with an updated weather report. If war breaks out in Khandaq, 52thecomic.com will report on the troops. If the Gotham Knights just lost a close double-header, you can check the score. The site also features a real time clock (which syncs to the time zone of any web user who visits the site) and banner ads promoting the fictional products that stock the shelves of the DC universe.
“A landmark comic book event like 52 deserves an equally creative website,” said DC Comics SVP of Sales & Marketing Stephanie Fierman. “If an imaginary universe were real, this would be its strongest news source.”
Readers will also be vaulted between the panels of the year’s biggest comic book event through the site’s extensive collection of information, including:
- Exclusive audio interviews with writers Geoff Johns, Grant Morrison, Greg Rucka and Mark Waid – the super group behind 52 – and their artistic collaborators;
- Behind-the-scenes storyboards by 52 breakdown artist and industry legend Keith Giffen;
- Online comic books and character profiles by some of the industry’s top creators.
“52 is created to deliver the kind of cliffhangers, tragedies and triumphs that will drive our fans to visit their local comic book stores each and every week,” said DC Senior Vice President – Executive Editor Dan DiDio. “52thecomic.com is designed to give them a dose of that drama each and every day.”
Imagine: a world without Superman, Batman or Wonder Woman—but not a world without heroes. Visit www.52thecomic.com

Comic Book Pick of the Week

The excitement and action of INFINITE CRISIS
continues in this weeks comic book pick of the week.
One of my favorite DC characters dies in this issue.
I was expecting another character to die instead, but
I was surprised while reading the story to see that
it would be someone else. I hope that they bring this
character back sometime in the future.

Comic Book Picks of the Week
Monday, January 30, 2006
There are 2 comics on my Comic Book Picks for this
week. I enjoyed both stories, and Black Mask happens
to be in both of them. Catwoman has to decide if she
will remain on the side of "good" or go back to her
"bad" habits. On the Catwoman cover, you can see the
Lottery Numbers that appeared on the "Lost" TV show.
You don't see them? Just look a little lower.

O.M.A.C.
Day of Vengeance
Rann - Thanager War
all tie into the Infinite Crisis story.
