Welcome to Thursday’s thrifty, tireless, and always thoughtful Daily Mega Comics Group Updates!

Thursday is Everyone Time! 😉 We’ve got more artist’s and writers than you can count on 2 hands today from  YouTube. This one titled: Once Upon A Time: The Super-Heroes. This is a very nice little documentary style series.  In it you will hear from such greats as Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, Joe Simon, John Romita, Mark Evanier, Neal Adams, Joe Kubert, Carmine Infantino, Alex Ross and many more plus see art from countless comics. There is a link to part 2-10 when this one finishes playing! Yes, you may be here a while if you watch each 10 minute segment consecutively! If you are running short on time just come back later and watch one at a time. If you leave a window open for this page it will allow you to pick up where you left off.  Enjoy!

We’ve heard from just about everyone about comics now, so let’s just read some comics!

Humants # 4:

Whew, boy! We start this page off with a bang! Well, actually a “Koom” but let’s not split hairs. 😉 The stage has been set, we’ve got all our characters in their places now we are ready to rock and roll!

Chosta seems to be the apple of Perimeter’s eye as he tries to shoot her down. But he’s finding it’s not like shooting fish in a barrel. The Herald is keeping Smasher Quinn and The Tower pretty busy as well. We don’t see The Shyster anywhere on this page but you can bet he’s lurking about waiting for an opportune time to take advantage of someone’s misfortune, true to his namesake.

Hang onto your hat, web wayfarer! The action won’t slow down in the least from here on out to the end of this issue!

Project New Man # 4:

Yesterday’s Page! Now we know the identity of Ebenezer Baal is actually Dr. Hubert Rolph! Remember him for issue 2? Sure you do.

Things are looking a little grim for Fawn. Rolph has taken out all his anger on her it seems even more so than on Nick and Bearcat.

Note the remark from Nick in the last panel of today’s page. It ties into a sub-plot running in Humants today.

We’ll have a new page of Project: New Man #4 Friday!

Welcome to Friday’s fantastic, friendly neighborhood, fun loving, Daily Mega Comics Group Updates!

Friday! Whew! 😀 What a week! Paper work! That’s about all we’ve done this week!

So we decided to take a little break and browse some old favorite covers. We enjoyed our little stroll down memory lane so much we decided to share some of our findings with you. Enjoy the gallery! You will find Jack Kirby, John Buscema, Gene Colon, Jim Steranko, John Romita, Wally Wood, Bill Everette, Joe Sinnott, Frank Giacoia, Don Heck, Vince Colletta and Neal Adams classic work that was the foundation of Marvel Comics back in it’s heyday in the 1960’s! Over all it was the Silver Age of Comics but it was called by Stan Lee, who wrote most of the scripts for these milestone issues, the Marvel Age! I think Roy Thomas wrote one or two as well. 😉 These are the writers and cartoonists that most influenced us, but there were others as well, and we’ll share those one day soon.

Next week! We are still officially on sabbatical but should have some noticeable improvements to the site next week. Keep your fingers crossed and we might even have a preview or two of our new titles too. So bear with us a little longer please.

Have a nice weekend! Other than Basketball there’s not a lot going on this time of year. Most of the country is still enveloped in the icy grip of a very long Winter but Spring is just around the corner so hang in there. So much for Global Warming, eh? 😉 Remember Y2K!

Marvel’s Greatest Covers #1

[book id=’3′ /]
Like the Man said, “’nuff said!”

Welcome to Friday’s favorite, fan requested, fat free, Daily Mega Comics Group Updates!

Friday? What happened to the week?! 😀 Well, things have not exactly come off on schedule this week. We had hoped to have another post for you this week but we just couldn’t do it. We did finally get all our 2008 bookkeeping out of the way and now it’s in the accountants hands to get it ready for Uncle Sam. Whew! We’re glad that’s over.

Everyone loved the 60’s Marvel cover gallery we put up last week we decided to do it again. We give you more reasons why Marvel was such a success in the 1960’s! Again brought to you by  Jack Kirby, John Buscema, Gene Colon, Jim Steranko, John Romita, Wally Wood, Bill Everette, Joe Sinnott, Frank Giacoia, Don Heck, Vince Colletta, Steve Ditko, Chic Stone, Paul Reinman, Dick Ayers, Gil Kane, John Severin, Maria Severin, Herb Trimpe, Jay Gavin, George Tuska and Neal Adams. Without these talents there well may not have been a Marvel Comics! Marvel today owes all it is to these founding fathers who along with Stan Lee and Roy Thomas gave us the Marvel Age of Comics!

In the day, covers were designed to maximize the attention of buyers at newsstands. It was not as much about the art as it was selling that issue! Some were more like ads than covers. Early on Stan Lee populated the covers with word balloons and all manner of hyperbole. The covers themselves had to tell a story enough to entice the customer to pick it out from among all the other choices. As the 1960’s rolled on less words were on the cover, often just the title logo and maybe the name that issues story. So take another stroll with us down memory lane and see how Marvel, the small upstart of that day, got there foot in the door to make the sale.

Next week! We will start back to posting more often as we get back on schedule. We’ll clue you in on what’s been going on behind the scenes and start getting you prepared for the debut of our new titles.
