THE NEW DC (1984): Blue Devil

House ads back in 1984, with Crisis on Infinite Earths just around the corner, were proclaiming "The New DC. There's no stopping us now."

I wonder: Does the DCnU have anything as fun as this on their publishing schedule?



From what I've heard and read - no - but I wish they did.

Ah, well. There's always back issue bins.

COMIC BOOK MEMORIES: Paris Cullins on New Gods

Over on Twitter, Peter Rios has been tweeting about comics by playing off the creators/characters for the DCnU and pointing people toward other work by these creators (like Paul Jenkins on DC comics Presents? Check out his Inhumans with Jae Lee) or other iterations of these characters (like Captain Atom? did you know he was created by Steve Ditko?). It's been fun and has brought up a lot of memories from when I was first reading comics in the 1980s.

For example, Paris Cullins drawing the New Gods.



I was all over that book because of the art. And with Mark Evanier co-writing it had to be faithful to Kirby's legacy. Now I need to find those books again and see how they stand up. Good memories.
