Everybody's Linking For The Weekend

I hope everyone had a fun and safe Halloween! And remember kids -- you earned that candy, don't let your parents steal it for themselves!

Rick shows us the letterhead to the Now Comics version of The Twilight Zone.

Rick also checks in with this very cool Carmine Infantino repro of the cover to The Brave And The Bold #70, featuring Batman and Hawkman.

Revel in the adorableness of The Lilbones clan on Halloween.

I really dig this model sheet of Aquaman by Alex Toth, as shown by rob! The link at the bottom of the entry also leads us to...

BONUS GAME! The Phantom Stranger!

And finally, with her increased profile lately, its appropriate that Frank gives us Vixen's profile.

Have fun folks and don't eat too much candy! (Is there such a thing?)

Everybody's Linking For The Weekend

Rick gets us started with this neat letterhead from Weird Western Tales.

BONUS GAME! Neal Adams on Batman and the Creeper!

Lilbones finally has a candidate I would support.

rob! decies to come clean with his beef against The Big Red Cheese.

Mini Marvels? No, the Martian Marvel, as seen in this sketch by Chris Giarruso, presented by Frank.

And finally, my friend Joe should just fork over his cash now, because we have Vikings Vs Werewolves!

Everybody's Linking For The Weekend

Via Rick: I wonder what kind of letters Ravage 2099 got back in the day.

BONUS GAME! Rick sez "Superman is a playa."

Adama's trick arrows keep getting stranger and stranger.

Those readind my blog will recognize this issue of Justice League of America which rob! is showcasing.

BONUS GAME! rob! brings it triple-style in this post, with tattoos, fact files, and kneecaps!

And finally, take a trip back to the 90s that never happened for the Martian Manhunter.

Everybody's Linking For The Weekend

In honor of the 2008 Olympic Games, Adama shows us how Green Arrow shows his support.

G Kendall presents the end of the Age of Apocalypse... for now.

Via Rick: Plastic-Man and ... Tarzan?!

Did Aquaman return in Final Crisis #3? Sure looks that way to me! Thanks for the post, rob!

Frank has a really, really suspect Martian Manhunter story for us.

And finally, some insight into the contemporary history of Superman.

I'm going to be out of town on business for the beginning of next week, so I will see you guys towards the end, either Thursday or Friday. Have a good one!

Everybody's Linking For The Weekend

Starting off, Rick finds that What If?'s letter column apparently asked that age-old question.

Save the Aqua-Hoodie!

Scipio sure is happy about SDCC.

rob! takes a look at a real Aqua-Classic.

Ever wonder how Frank got a hankering for Our Favorite Martian? Wonder no more, as all is revealed!

And finally a HUGE CONGRATUALTIONS to Lil Bones on the birth of his daughter! Aww she is soooo cute! (Now, Bones, remember: Start off with Finger and Sprang. Not Miller or Moore. Got it?)

Everybody's Linking For The Weekend

Adama opens things up with Prez, who I'd vote for.

Rick has a nice showcase of title interaction, which you don't see enough of these days.

Frank shows off his profile of Triumph, a character I am immediately interested in!

SDCC: A new series for War Machine, which is awesome, but it is taking the place of Iron Man, which stinks!

SDCC: Haunted Tank returns!

SDCC: Batman: The Brave And The Bold trailer -- looks like a lot of fun!

And finally, rob! scores a sweet interview with Gerry Conway, creator of Commander Steel and his grandson, and lots of other characters, as well as the mind behind the Detroit Justice League.

Everybody's Linking For The Weekend

Via Frank: I carry a badge. My partner is Zook. My name's J'Onzz.

Tell that special someone "I want to hit you with a two-stage rocket arrow" with this Green Arrow postcard thanks to Adama.

Rick shows off this rocking Plastic Man shirt, although it seems to made from some cotton or synthetic material instead of plastic.

rob! showcases this awesome Alex Toth model sheet for none other than Black Manta.

And finally, go check out the trailer to Watchmen! Having never read Watchmen, I have no idea what I am looking at, but it still looks amazing!

Everybody's Linking For The... Monday?

Well, there was some mixup here at the Bunker this weekend, and my Links did not get posted on Saturday like they were supposed to.  So I am going to post the links today, then What I Read tomorrow, and be back on track for Wednesday.  How does that sound?  

Rick has turned in an interesting guest piece for the blog Ephemera, about the nature of old comics.

rob! shows off this neato Columbian Super Powers Aquaman.  I was just digging through my Super Powers and Secret Wars toys this weekend, so this is a nice coincidence!

Frank's favorite Martian.  Martian stories, that is!  

And finally, Adama gets all artsy-fartsy on us with his homemade superhero magnets.  

Everybody's Linking For The Weekend

I hope everyone had a good 4th... I did, which is why this will be somewhat abbreviated.

Rick starts us off by bringing in the love.

Frank plays with the What If machine and gives us Manhunter From Mars #300, which I would have dug.

rob! shows off an awesome house ad for the King of the Seven Seas and his arch-nemesis, Black Manta.

And finally, I stumbled upon a pair of vert amusing sword-and-sorcery webcomics this week, so head over to and check out both Sword & Sarcasm and Legend Of Bill!

Have a good holiday weekend everybody!

Everybody's Linking For The Weekend

Hey guys, up in Charlotte for HeroesCon, having way too much fun and spending way too much money! Here's some quick links I think you'll enjoy.

Adama busts out some neato trick arrows in this Adventure Comics spotlight.

Rick brings us one of my favorite obscure comics: The Green Team!

BONUS GAME: Check out Plas's super-suit!

As Lilbones knows, Cat Grant... Is kinda questionable.

rob! has always got Aquaman in the bag.

And finally, Frank shows off how his favorite beetle-browed badass is the greatest hero you've never really heard of.

Well, we're heading to the Con in a few hours, so have a good weekend everyone -- and pray for my wallet!

Everybody's Linking For The Weekend

Let's start at the top with Rick showcasing this Hulk letterhead, then swing over to his Team-Up site for a classic meeting between Spidey and the Hulk, starting here and finishing here.

Adama scores an interview with one Mr. Mike Norton!

Plas gets into the delivery business?

Lilbones breaks out some sweet LEGO Batman screenshots!

Have any of you guys seen my finger puppet? rob has!

And finally, one should always include some Professor Hugo in one's Martian Manhunter diet, Final Crisis or not.

Everybody's Linking For The Weekend

Rick gets us started with letterheads for the Outsiders and Teen Titans from the mid-80s.

Aqualung, my friend, don't you go away uneasy... you poor old sod, you see it's only Adama with a trick arrow!

Frank checks out the would-be archnemesis for The Indestructible Man, Baron Death.

Rick also has some sweet Con photos to show off. Wonder if I'll see any costumes this good at HeroesCon?

BONUS GAME: Boxing Plastic Man

I know Lilbones is looking forward to Mortal Kombat vs DCU after seeing Batman. I'm looking forward to it as well, but I was always that weird guy who actually liked Mortal Kombat.

rob always finds the best stuff, including this really cool Super Amigos card game!

And finally, Frank shows us the Last Days of J'Onn J'Onzz, but not like you think.

Everybody's Linking For The Weekend

Well, sorry this is late, but the file got left at work on Friday, making it hard for me to post it. But I am trying out the post-by-mail feature of Blogger and see if that works! So if the links don't come out right, please forgive me and I'll fix them later on. EDIT:: I fixed the links.

Rick gets us started with the letterhead of one of my favorites, Weird War Tales.

The J'Onn J'Onzz Memorial Service.

BONUS GAME: Frank takes a look at the debut of Steel, who's life would only be slightly less painful than his grandson's.

Hey, lilbones... this fish is smiling at me!

Scipio has a really good point with this post.

And finally, rob! shows off an... Aquaman themepark ride?! Dude, that's awesome!

Everybody's Linking For The (Long) Weekend

"Hello? Human Fly here! Cmon, I stayed up all last night dyin' my underwear!" That classic bit from The Simpsons not withstanding, here's Rick with the letterhead from the old Archie here, The Fly from his 90's revival.

An acetylene arrow? Aqua-lung arrows? When a Mechanical Octopus is not the goofiest thing in your story, it can only be the Silver Age, as Adama points out.

Frank presents: DEEEEEEEEEEEETROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOIT JUSTICE LEAGUE! (With apologies to the Detroit Pistons... beat the Celts!)

G Kendall starts looking at the Warren Ellis run on Excalibur, which I may begin hunting at some point.

I can tell Bones is eagerly anticipating The Dark Knight, and these "alternative" trailers are just feeding the fire.

Scipio's Heroclix maps enter the mysteriois THIRD DIMENSION!

This Superfriends Aquasub, as presented by rob, is pretty awesome, but I am more jazzed about SF Hawkman! Must... resist... becoming... Hawkman... fanboy!

BONUS GAME! Aquaman teams up with The Blackhawks?!

And finally, be sure to check out James' Defenders Fansite, or else Valkyrie will smack you around... with the flat of her blade! (And if you get that joke I applaud you.)

Everybody's Linking For The Weekend

Let's start things off with the vacationing Adama (hope the fish are biting!) and his look at the Tuning Fork Arrow.

Plastic Man and Black Lightning teaming up? Sounds good to me! (If only.)

The last issue of X-Factor I ever bought. Well, at least until the last issue of the series, before it swapped over to Mutant X.

Let's give a big Bunker welcome to Lilbones, host of the awesomely Bat-centric Tales From The Batcave! This guy pretty much blogs circles around me, so be sure to check it out.

Scipio is at it again with his map of the Giant Prop Museum!

Some how I don't think my wife would have appreciated this Aquaman Valentine, though I am sure it is better than a GI Joe one.

Frank shows off his sweet sketch of OFM (Our Favorite Martian).

BONUS GAME! The Slow Steady Death of J'Onn J'Onzz.

Mike Sterling showcases some truly inane Marvel Masterpieces cards. My head hurts after reading this.

Chris revists the classic tale of Batman laying some dude out with a car battery in what may be the most intense use of a car battery ever.

And finally, fans of black and white art like me need to check out the Inkwell Awards. Inking gets very little respect from most fans, and it is a crying shame, because the best penciller can be mangled by a poor ink-job, while a mediocre prenciller can be totally saved by a good one. Be sure to click around and vote for your favorites!

Everybody's Linking For The Weekend

It's Iron Man time! It's a double dose of iron as Rick first asks us all to Sock It To Shellhead!

And Rick keeps it going as The Ever-Lovin' Blue-Eyed Thing and Tony Stark go all Hollywood on us in Marvel Two-In-One!

I was with Adama when he got this awesome print from Michael Golden. Hot stuff!

Let's all give a warm Bunker welcome to Lilbones of Tales From the Batcave. Batfans and Iron Fans, blogging together! Mass hysteria!

Time to go South Of The Border (no, my fellow South Carolinians, we are not going to Florence), and check out Aquaman in Mexico, along with archer extraordinaire Fleca Verde! Oddly, rob posts this the week that Disney re-releases Saludos Amigos and The Three Caballeros on DVD... coincidence? I think not.

Frank shows off this JLA-Avengers ACTOR piece by George Perez.

And finally: Never give up, never surrender! Galaxy Quest is coming to the world of comics! And remember, "It doesn't take a good actor to recognize a bad one!"

Everybody's Linking For The Weekend

Adama shines the spotlight on Green Arrow's sidekick, err, I mean partner. Something I always wondered about Speedy/Arsenal: how does being a really good shot with a bow and arrow translate to being a good shot with a gun? Shouldn't he have split the difference and used a crossbow? Or would Huntress not allow it?

I'd like to see more fun stories like this one Rick has posted. Of course, the fact that both Aquaman and Hawkman seem unable to carry a title means it won't happen any time soon.

G Kendall talks about the time that Emma Frost starting going good, and I can recall being thoroughly annoyed at this development as a kid. And, sadly, I have yet to get over it.

Scipio makes me wish I played Heroclix everytime he posts one of his maps, like this LOSH HQ setting. Although, you know, there is that LOSH starter box...

Comics Blogger Extraordinaire rob! knows that with Aquaman, it's all about time. Seems to me that Aquaman's biggest problem in the "modern" era is the death of anthologies and backups.

BONUS GAME! Life At A Con. My brother is working a booth at NYCC, so I am sure this will be useful for him.

I totally missed out on the JL/JLI/JLE era, but Frank is nice enough to offer some thoughts. I've always wanted to check out this era because I like Beetle, Booster, and the Manhunter. Maybe I'll pick some up at some point.

Finally, check out the awesome Duck Family Tree!

Everybody's Linking For The Weekend

Frank brings the ole Red State/Blue State argument to the World's Mightiest.

Rick shows off the letterhead of Marvel Two-In-One. Whatta revoltin' development!

BONUS GAME! Have some fun of the Worlds Finest variety!

DOUBLE BONUS GAME! Plas gets in on the action as well!

Scipio brings the culture with a Detroit League-era haiku.

And finally, rob! shows off both the awesome first issue of Time And Tide, but also the amazing pinup of Aqualad from this week's Tiny Titans!

Everybody's Linking For The Weekend

Frank doesn't hate Iron Man. He has seen the light!

Rick shows us how only in America one can go from yap to rap in one year. Be sure to go check out Comic Book Letterheads, Rick's newest contribution to awesomeness!

Adama takes a break from Green Arrow to look at ... Who?

Scipio is at it again with the maps, this time showing off Apex City and Crime Alley.

And finally, we finally have the final installemnt of creator's commentary for the final issue of Freddy vs Jason vs Ash. Finally.

Everybody's Linking For The Weekend

Rick love his team-ups, apparently including the inter-species variety!

G Kendall shines the spotlight on not one but
two "X-event" books from my youth. Brings memories of junior high flooding back!

rob! has your ticket to ride.

I'm glad that Frank posted this study of the Martian Manhunter's haunts, because, in all honesty, I had no idea on most of them!

Speaking of superheroic hangouts, I don't play Heroclix myself, but Scipio has been working overtime creating maps for it! Now you can throw down in Central City (or is it Keystone???), above Ferris Aircraft, or at the Iceberg Lounge! Keep up the good work, dude!

My man Adama believes in the free market economy, even if it hurts his left-wing cred.

Finally, check out the firth creator's commentary for Freddy vs. Jason vs. Ash.
