Welcome back, Cloak and Dagger

It been a while but Cloak and Dagger are back this week. Its only a 5 issue run but you take what you can get. Cloak and Dagger are children of the 80′s premiering in Spectacular Spider-Man #64 (1982). They have always had a strong cult following but not enough to keep a series going for a extended run (I don’t think they have ever made it past 20 issues). Also you may want to check out the trade Child of Darkness, Child of Light on Amazon or the the dollar bins at your local comic shop they should be fairly cheap.    You can read back ground information after the break.

Angela Bassett Joins Green Lantern

Source: HeyUGuys

Angela Bassett has been cast as Dr. Amanda Waller in Green Lantern, starring Ryan Reynolds.  We last saw Dr. Waller on Smallville being played by Pam Grier.  Dr. Waller is a behind the scenes player in the D.C. universe manipulating the likes of Bruce Wayne, Superman and even Lex Luthor.  She works for the U.S. Government and has been involved in the shadowy governmental agencies like Checkmate and Suicide Squad.  I like both actresses and I like both actresses in the role.  It would have been a nice touch to have Pam do both, but I’m sure there were other considerations involved.  Let’s applaud the fact that a black character from the D.C. universe is being utilized in a major studio film.  I am now 100% behind this movie.  Well, at least until the first trailer comes out.

Also, I just like the fact that I have a reason to post pictures of Angela Bassett.

Quote of the day from Gina Torres

Gina Torres in a interview with Wired Magazine on Women in Comics

There aren’t really any skinny bitches in the world of comic books…they’ve got muscle. . . . in that comics world they’re all curvaceous. They’re strong. And it’s important to have strong images of women out there, women who aren’t afraid of expressing themselves, women who aren’t afraid of taking chances, women who aren’t afraid of their own power.”

How much are 1st appearances worth?

In the past couple of days Comic books have broken records in auctions. Until this week the highest recorded sales price was for $317,000 for Action Comics #1. Maybe this is a sign the economy is improving but earlier this week another issue of Action Comics #1 (the first appearance of Superman) was sold $1,000,000. It only held the record for 3 days before BAM! Detective Comics No. 27 (the first appearance of Batman) sold for $1,075,000 . So that got me thinking about 1st appearances of some our favorite Heroes and how much they are worth. The values are from comicbookrealm.com .   They aren’t in any particular order.

Black Panther  -  Fantastic Four # 52   $550.00

Luke Cage –  Luke Cage Hero for Hire   $70.oo
