Re: Airboy - Eclipse Comics

After reading the recent 4 issue Airboy mini from Image and a handful of the Hillman Golden Age stuff I have started collecting the Eclipse run. Got about 20 issues so far. With the Dave Stevens cover being my cheapest and best find.

Yeah the last 3 pages had my jaw dropping. Since the time jump the series has been slow. I knew it was just building up to something. Now I see what that was.

Re: Impact Comics

With how good the new Black Hood Dark Circle series is,I went back and finished my run of Impact. Now just gotta find the time to read it. Read Black Hood and Jaguar back when they were coming out in the 90s. But the rest of the series I might have read one issue if any.

I have read both before. Savage Dragon is IMHO the better of the two. There is 2 or 3 archive editions that collect in order the first 50 or so issues.
