I was wondering when the Midnight sons would pop up. I got into comics at around age 13 in 1993, and loved all of the midnight sons. The Nightstalkers (Frank Drake, Hannibal King, and Blade) were old characters from Tomb of Dracula. King was my favorite as he reminded me of Alucard from Castlevania 3… partly vampire and partly human. Really crushed me as a young fan when those books all stopped.

I forget what issues they started doing it, but at some point Wizard would have "hidden" messages and geeky jokes/ references in the copyright area of the "Letter from the publisher"s page. It was fun finding them as a kid. Enjoying these videos so much. A great stroll down memory lane.

Just recently found this series and loving it so far. Noticed that there aren't any extra links for this episode. Just wanted to say if you guys are thinking of not doing that anymore to reconsider. Love getting more insight and eyes on more comic related videos.

The Mantlo Hulk issue about abuse is notable BC it's drawn by Mike Mignola and a crossover with Alpha Flight. Around the same time Byrne is leaving Marvel. Worth looking up, the crossover is reprinted in tpb as Hulk:crossroads.

Thanks for that bit on Sam Kieth. I wish he'd do his own stuff (Magic Trout!) rather than the Batman stuff but I'm sure it must be nice to get paid. First two comic pages I ever made was as a letter to Mr. Kieth asking to become his apprentice. Worth a shot.

There is a single issue of Excalibur written - but sadly not drawn - by Alan Davis where he summarize the story of the Phoenix entity so far, tying knots from Dark Phoenix to Days of Future Past to Jean Grey return and trying to blend some global consistence to that stuff. That may have some sort of very specific and short Grand Design feel. When I first heard of Ed's project, that particular book came to my mind. I guess that Davis earned the reputation of a writer that can wrap up loose ends, so he had to write the X-Men and "The Twelve Saga", taking elements from years of Claremont and Lobdell time travels and "prophecies" but using current cast. It wasn't that good - being an editorial nightmare I guess - but at least, he got rid of some old unresolved subplots...

I believe the punisher issues regarding the russian conspiracy thing with joe jusko covers is PUNISHER war journal, volume.1, issues 31 through 33- titled: "The komchatkan konspiracy" written by Mike Baron and pencilled by Ron Wagner. I know it because it was my first encounter with the punisher.

Bill Mantlo's Hulk story about Bruce's father abusing him was issue #312. The story was supposedly plagiarised from a Hulk story already in progress by Barry Windsor Smith. Decades in the making, BWS's version of the story has been reworked into a graphic novel calledd Monster which is supposed to be finally coming out soon.

I hate shiny, glossy stock paper on comics. Give me old newsprint any day..I love the look of old comics and the smell of old newsprint. The way the ink and colors settle in old comics is beautiful. One thing I hate about modern comics..beginning in the 90s was the shiny colors on shiny paper and because of the high gloss...you Fuckin can’t see anything. Haha you have to tilt the comic. But then theirs the horrible artwork, bad anatomy with bad panels.
