Topics I've Started

Best Beer-Drinking Music

13 August 2011 - 01:53 AM

Hey, I am looking for some really great albums of music, for enjoying the drinking of beer. :lol:  I have some already, but need more information. Also, good music for the partaking of the peace pipe.  :) This can be ANY type of music, as long as it enhances the enjoyment of partying all night! My favorites include everything from The Vienna Philharmonic  playing Johann Strauss' waltzes, to Ozzy's live Tribute to Randy Rhodes, and anything in between or beyond.  What record albums and CDs do you turn to in times of pure pleasure? Any information is welcome.

Story Ideas For Kull

05 August 2011 - 12:49 AM

I think that Dark Horse needs some creative ideas to spur their imaginations in the Kull series. It seems to me like it is in a rut. Maybe we can come up with some way out new ideas to cause a Kull renaissance, and yet stay somewhat within the parameters of Howard's variations on a theme. If you can think of a good Kull synopsis, post it here for all to enjoy!  :)

Conan: Mask Of Acheron

23 July 2011 - 07:14 AM

Well, this came out yesterday and I haven't seen any comments on it so far, so I thought someone should start a topic on this 48 page comic book. The art is by Gabriel Guzman. Has anyone read it yet? I am about to sit down and attempt to read it tonight.  :unsure:

Which Conan Comic For A Desert Island?

24 May 2010 - 08:25 PM

This is a theoretical situation. You are on a liner going across the Pacific, and you have brought along for your vacation trip a small box of your favorite REH comics. Pirates take over the ship and maroon you onto a desert island. You ask them if you can take all your stuff, and they tell you that you can take only one comic book with you. Which comic book would you take? You have single issues, trades, and hardbacks, but it can be only one item, not a mini-series, etc. But you can list your runner-up choices. It can be any Conan, Kull, Kane, or Bran, etc. Any REH comic book.

Excellent points, Korak. For instance, some of us like Momoa, some of us don't. That's subjective, which doesn't mean it's wrong, just that it's subjective opinion, and endlessly arguable. But then there's the script (which none of us has read), which explicitly contradicts Robert E. Howard regarding Conan's origin and backstory. It is impossible to have a positive opinion of that script.

One other thing to consider about this production, which admittedly is in the subjective argument category-- but is everyone on this production going to be as high all the time on grass as Windsor-Smith was while drawing Conan 1-24? To me, that is a very essential ingredient to their creative complexity. :P That's why Buscema's art comes off so pedestrian, I feel. Let's really ratchet the inspiration up a notch! Momoa can bring some of that great Hawaiian Harvest! :lol:
