Comics ‘N Coffee: Marvel Treasury Edition No. 9

VIOLENCE NEVER SOLVES ANYTHING (except for crossword puzzles where the answer is “violence”) What do you do when your comics, which are mainly sold by newsstands, become too much trouble for too little profit by those same vendors? Simple, you reprint old material, blow it up to enormous proportions and slap a price tag on it more than five times the cost of a single issue! Now, you know my style pretty well by now, my fellow front-facer, so there’s no question that I like to write about comics with profound pontifications, filled with meaningful metaphors or beaming with evocative eloquence.

Comics ‘N Coffee: Machine Man #1

by bucky· April 21, 2013· in Comics 'N Coffee· 0 comments tags: Jack Kirby, Machine Man, Marvel, Marvel Comics
ALL GOOD ROBOTS GO TO HEAVEN (or How X-51 Got His 01100111 01110010 01101111 01101111 01110110 01100101 Back) We’ve seen it played out in many different ways: the concept of machines becoming sentient. We can’t help but imagine how things will be once our technology reaches human-like potential. If sentient, will we shackle machines as subservient tools or will we grant them the freedoms that we enjoy? If a machine possesses independent thought, can it dream? When a robot knows fear, love, hate and despair, does that mean that it has a soul? Such ideas have been explored in literature (I, Robot), television (Star Trek) and movies (The Terminator), but they have all centered on a singular notion: humanity. The question isn’t a matter of machines becoming human, for that day seems closer all the time … but what does it mean to BE human?

Comics ‘N Coffee: Marvel Treasury Edition #10

While I Breathe, I Hope! Ho, warriors of Midgard! At one time, I verily believed myself to be alone in my appetite for tales of heroes most wondrous. But nay! In recent years, there hast been an army building – one not of sinew and steel, but of hearts overflowing with affection for the wonder we call COMICS! In one breath, it did seem that where there was once a world of amazement and gods walked the Earth to the great awe of mortals, today this world hast grown callous and jaded. In days past – when wall-crawlers were still named Parker, when Hulks were still named Banner and when events did not span a dozen titles over a hundred fortnights – your humble scribe enjoyed tales of such action, merriment and heroism that the Valkyries themselves sung praises aplenty, forsooth! ‘Tis not my intent to dwell on the joys of yesteryear, but to share with you all those tales. Should you wish to join in my revelry, I ask that you don your mystic cape, fill high your flagon of mead (or coffee, in my particular case) and delight in the tales which used to beget many a reader […]

If you survived Groundhog’s Day, Valentine’s Day, Presidents’ Day, Fat Tuesday/Mardi Gras, Ash Wednesday & even an extra Leap Day, then the rest of the year should be a cake walk!

First and foremost if you want to find out the winner of our “Cosplay Girl of The Year 2012”, then watch this episode all the way to the end because we spill the beans! Oh, we also talk about comics and Matt Todd of “The Impact” tells us of all the latest news in Film and Television! Still not enough to entice you? Man, you are a tough customer!
