Found my full run of the 90s Hellstorm comic. Odd comic,the few that read it back then loved it. But so few read it. The Kaminski run that starts the books is one things, but when Ellis takes over it just becomes Marvel's attempt to do Hellblazer. It wasn't bad, but I think even in the 90s people saw that it was just trying to be 'Hellblazer at home' and so it never took off

But by Ellis taking over the sales were LOW. Even now finding copies of that last issue for less than 5 bucks aint easy.

So glad Steven is still working. Him and Mitch Byrd were the only comic artists from my area back in the day. Got to meet Steven cause he was friends with a buddy's uncle. Somewhere in the collection I got at last 10 signed copies of Silver Sable #1. Hey Archie how about more issues of Afterlife with Archie,Chilling Adventures of Sabrina and maybe a new Black Hood mini series? Yes I know we are never getting more of those three. Hate how all of them ended in the middle of a storyline. It's odd, they're not following through with their previous horror-themed series, but they're actively still producing new ones Originally Archie claimed Sabrina and Afterlife were going on Hiatus since the main writer of both was working Riverdale tv show. Ok get that. Then how about have him write 1 issue a year of each. Riverdale IIRC is over and nothing. But Vampronica and Jughead hte Hunger got what a few series and one shots. hell get another writer to take over Afterlife and Sabrina. I know those two titles got people in the direct market back into Archie. So not sure why they aren't doing whatever it takes to get more out. Feels like 7 or so years ago I got into a pile of modern series and each of them got delayed and never finished. Like Southern Bastards. Amazing series Jason Aaron captured the feel of small town rural south perfectly. And it's last issue was part 1 or 2 of a new storyline and nothing for years now.

They put all the Ellis stuff in an omnibus, along with some unpublished stuff he had planned with Satanna post series

They put all the Ellis stuff in an omnibus, along with some unpublished stuff he had planned with Satanna post series Might have to track that down now I know it has stuff not in the issues. I read the series as it was coming out. Might have been the only ongoing series I was getting from Marvel. Then lost most of my collection through two incidents. Forgot about the series. 2008ish need stuff to read at work. Drummer from System of a Down starts up online comic shop Torpedo Comics. Got issue 1 thru 18 from that shop for maybe buck an issue. The last few of hte run were cover or way more. Seems comic shop buddy works at part time is closing. Owner is offering boxes of 100 comics. bagged and boarded and shipped for 48 bucks. Ordered me one and it should be here Friday. Betting at least 2/3rds of it iss stuff I either read once and give away or never read and give away.

They finally hit 700.
Uncanny 300 was when I jumped off. Subscription ended and I hadn't enjoyed the series in a long time by then.
Think 300 came out in 94 so 30 years ago.

And wow finally something I know will come out to add to the pull list and instead I order it direct from the publisher.
Hate Revisited #1 is due this summer.
yea I know it is a comic that either you LOVE or ya HATE. And I get that it is very very much of it's generation.
Back when it was still coming out 3 to 4 times a year that was the highlight of the week sometimes.
Goto comic shop empty out pullbox. See new Hate. So stop on the ride home grab a box of bugles and sit in my chair smoked way too many cigs and eat those bugles and read Hate.

Amazing Spider-Man#51 {Spoiler}As usual, Wells only writes a competent Peter Parker when he's twisted and evil.
...Oh, and suddenly Ben Reilly is steadily becoming a good guy again.

The Spider-Man-Goblin suit might be the laziest evil version of a hero costume ever designed.

That is an interesting team of second stringers, some with little fan bases that could add up. Not entirely sure they all match, or even belong in The Avengers, but it's an interesting enough group for me to give it a go.

It's been hinted at since the one shot and also the upcoming book I know, I guess I was more or less expecting the rehabilitation to happen out of Wells' hands with Foxe's upcoming book, but it appears Zeb wants to own some of it too

X-men stuff: {Spoiler}I'm going to miss kinda good guy Apocalypse. Seems like he's going back to full blown villain again with the Krakoa arc in the rear window.

RIP to Benny. I think he left the comic business better than he found it.

Not entirely sure they all match, or even belong in The Avengers, but it's an interesting enough group for me to give it a go. Since when do Wasp, Hawkeye, She-Hulk, Hercules and Wonder Man not belong in The Avengers? That's like saying Green Arrow or Martian Manhunter shouldn't be in the Justice League
