Wow, the Fortress hasn't changed a bit since the last time I visited four years ago. Wish I could say the same for myself. It's a struggle just to get out of bed now, let alone trudge across the Artic wastes and climb up to the doorway with a birthday cake. Nearly forgot my access code again. I don't think I'll be able to make it the next time February 29 rolls around.
Time to light the candles, perhaps for my last time. "Happy Birthday, Kal-El... and thank you ..read more

I've been meaning to write this for quite a while: In the early 2000s my (now late) oldest brother gave me, (along with my copies of "Secret Agent X-9: The Alex Raymond Collection" and "Batman from the '30s to the '70s", which he had borrowed 20 years before), the then-recently-published book named above. I was no longer a comic book fan, having lost this interest to Shakespeare, world history, and baseball analysis, but I did collect them in my early late teens and early twenties--my favorites then were Batman, an interest engendered by the TV show, and the LoSH, but I largely forgot about th ..read more

Same here. If there's any mysterious event in the neighborhood, my wife checks Facebook to see what it was. Our scout troop has a webpage, but it's rarely updated; my wife tells me what's going on because she saw it on Facebook.
90% of the blogs I used to enjoy are dormant or offline now because Facebook is easier for the owners, and reaches more people. Local businesses that once had to hire web designers to build them a webpage now just start a Facebook page.
Meanwhile my typical web browsing session involves visits to less than five sites, and I'm the last to hear about anything.&nb ..read more

True. But is it possible to interact with other human beings without it?
In my town, the schools, the police, the fire department, and the town offices all make their announcements on Facebook. Is school canceled due to inclement weather? Check Facebook. Is there a water main break in town? It is announced on Facebook. Town meeting livestream is on Facebook. Scout troop schedule and updates are posted to Facebook. etc, etc, etc.
A very sorry state of affairs ..read more

I always viewed JLA/Avengers as a sort of apotheosis for Perez' career because, to me, he was the ultimate "crossover" artist, equal parts Marvel and DC. Put Neal Adams or Don Newton on the Avengers or Dan Jurgens on Captain America or Thor and they were still "DC artists" to me, anyway. Get John Buscema or John Byrne to draw Superman and they were still "Marvel artists drawing Superman." But Perez? He straddled the line perfectly, drawing glamorous, "pretty" faces and figures like Curt Swan, but often in dynamic, powerful poses like Jack Kirby. Complex fictional ..read more

I bailed on Facebook about 9 years ago, and I've never regretted it. But I guess that's where STTA was all this time. LOL
I'm willing to try and resurrect the message board as time allows. I'm very much a semi-Luddite. For me, the internet peaked in the mid-90s and I'm still pretending "social media" never happened ..read more
