IT CAME FROM THE QUARTER BIN: JLE #5

Ryan casts his net back to a time when "Bwa-ha-ha" echoed through the halls of the JLA, and there were offices everywhere. Behold: Justice League Europe #5 ...

Your Indy Weekly: Ultimate Peanuts

Ryan takes a look at Ian Harker's satirical take on the iconic comic strip. Sure, it's not for everyone, but how does Harker do it carrying the Peanuts kids into the future? ...

Forgotten Universes Website is DOWN.

After three years it looks like the site that spewed for information on comic books about the New Universe, Ultraverse, Defiant, Broadway Comics, and Impact Comics is down for good.

I started the site to house information on some of the comic I really loved, mirrored by the format used over at ValiantComics.com. The site was decently popular and later on was also the home for information on my 'Wise Intelligence' comics.

However the site was being put up by free server space courtesy of my good friend Mikey. With Mikey leaving the company he was with it looks like the remaining people didn't want to house all my gigabites and took the site down. So is the site dead? Good question...

The answer is probably with a maybe not. If I find a good site to host it I'll put it back up (Mikey was nice enough to say he'd host it again if he gets his own new server). Until then I'm setting up a Wise Intelligence MySpace page (and another for Chris and Vernbugg) that will mirror the already created Philly MySpace page. This way you can just click along from one comic to another via MySpace quick and easy.
