The best Hellboy comic in a long time


The third issue of "The Crooked Man" came out this week. This series was the creepiest and best Hellboy series in forever. And this is coming from the fellow who last year said the Hellboy family of comics was the best being published.

The bailout ...

Interesting that Bob Latta and Marcy Kaptur both voted against the bailout, neither one having much to worry about concerning re-election.

700 billion dollars combined with action already taken by the government of over one trillion represents about ten thousand bucks for each adult American who works or is between 20 and 70 (roughly). The government should give the money to the people, not the banks.

I think it would be interesting for a comic book series to print an issue dating in the 30's and 40's that can illustrate (with the input of historians) economic downturn, recovery, violent struggle in the world over power, land, and resources, and leading to the technology revolution of atomic power, space flight, and computers. There are many characters capable of being used, not the least of which are Superman, Batman, and Capt America.
And Hellboy.
