MST Comic Book
M Sampo
We've been getting reports from comic book fans for several weeks now
about a supposed MST Comic Book in the works. Sci Fi Channel now confirms
that this is so, but we are told that no final deal has been struck, and
we don't have any details about its content or writers yet. It's basically
a Sci-Fi deal, and MST3K staffers themselves won't be directly involved
other than to approve it. The comic book, if it goes through, would be
sold in the Sci Fi merchandise catalog, but they don't know if they'll
offer it through the fan club as well.
That's all the info we have right now. When we know more, we'll pass it
on.

Ah. Thanks, Sampo - you just scratched that intellectual itch I couldn't

Well, I for one have complete confidence that the Brains will
exercise proper quality control on this one.
And, really, if it makes more money for the Brains, I'm all for it.

Definitely. Especially the EC-Horror-Meets-The-Justice-League issue.

It's not the Brains I'd worry about. After MST3K:TM (as much as I
enjoyed it, I think their original vision for the ending was even
better), my only real concern is that they HAVE real creative control.
> And, really, if it makes more money for the Brains, I'm all for it.
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!! Of course, I've offered my financial health
in sacrifice to BBI many times already. Take my money, BBI!! Ravage my
net worth!! Enrich yourselves, and give us more, more, more MST3K!!!

it lent itself to MST'ing soooo well. (I used to go over it coming up
with lines, most of them probably not that good. If someone could dig
up a script I'd love to try my hand at it, but I'm not about to
transcribe 200 some pages.)
This leads us too:
#More comics deserve to be MST'ed. I'm working on a "Don't do coke"
one from the late eighties by photocopying pages, drawing in my own word
balloons, pasting the silloheutes (huh?) to the bottom and photocopying
again. It's incredably expensive and a serious pain, but I've never
heard of it done before sol....
#Eeeghads! Good stuff might perhaps lend itself to some uhhh...

Sorry for piggy backing off your post, but...
There are MUCH more great ones then that. For one thing, absolutely
anything by Frank Miller is amazing. Let's see...the entire
Daredvil/Elektra/Kingpin's wife Saga. Daredevil: The Man Without Fear,
and Daredevil: Love and War. Then there's Batman: Year 1, Batman: The
Dark Knight Returns, plus Give Me Liberty, and, of course, his
masterpiece, Sin City. Then you have Neil Gaiman, who's Sandman may very
well be the best ongoing series ever. And finally there's Jim Starlin,
who's Thanos/Captain Marvel/Warlock/Infinity Gauntlet Saga is one of the
best (and longest) storylines comics has to offer.
And even that doesn't scratch the surface. You have countless terrific
undergrounds, like Peter Bagge (Hate) Dan Clowes (Eightball) and Art
Spiegelman (Maus).
Anyway, there's my two cents, though I'm not going to get paid even that
much...

Sheesh, this thread could go on forever. Personally, I gave up on the
superhero stuff early (save for Dark Knight Returns) and currently thrive
off weird little indie titles. I was content when I could pick up a new
Sandman and Bone every couple of months. Now, Gaimanless, I make do . . .
And, Kennedy, rest assured that when I conquer this planet with my race of

Have you seen Gaiman's new novel, Neverwhere? Just thought i'd mention it

In mentioning Great comic series, No one can leave out PREACHER the most
Ballsiest, best written monthly title ive ever read (and ive read many)
and of course, "KURT BUSIEK'S ASTRO CITY" which in case some of u dont
know, takesa city full of superheroes viewed through the eyes of normal
human beings. Also recommened is "MIRACLE MAN (formally Marvel Man)"
another "Superman type, meets reality in hard way". Strangly enough it was
written by who else but......... Alan Moore, writer of Supreme.

I would like to see an MST3K comic that MiSTs other comics. Think about it. Seeing one
of the crappier issues of X-Force, Thor, or New Mutants get the MST treatment. All they
have to do to make room for the guys would be to take these old comics and reduce the
size of the panels one by one, then put them in the borders where we can watch them riff
the book in half.
Some comics I would personally like to see MiSTed.
1.) the Spider Clone storyline (ugh!!!)
2.) New Mutants
3.) Youngblood
4.) any of the recent issues of Blueperman (was Superman, to all you casual comics fans)
5.) Anything else by Extreme studios other than Supreme
6.) WildCATs spinoffs
7.) X-Force
8.) the Maxx (cool, but so weird! Imagine some of the lines BB could come up with)
9.) any early 90s issues of Thor
10.)anything else written and drawn by Rob Liefeld

>Some comics I would personally like to see MiSTed.

story value than the CRAP that was happening in Spidey before he showed
up. He gave the title a Purpose, which has been lost again with the
ressurection of every crappy old villain in the book. Have them MSTie "The
Death Of Superman" which was the most pointless series ever (IMHO)

Well, I reccomended it to comics fans because there's a lot of
references to thge history of comics, from the Golden Age on.
I've read 5 of his 9 issue (so far) run run and I'm really
enjoying it.
If you're familiar with the differnent styles of comics
throughout the years, you shpould get a real kick out of it.

A little update here:
I said earlier that BBI will not have any direct input in it, except to
approve it. Well, after some huddling at BBI it appears that it is too
early to tell whether BBI staffers themselves will have input or not. The
deal, as noted, is not set. So they MAY be involved in the writing. We'll
see.

But you forgot one of my favorites: The Spectre!!! Sure, it's rather
grim, but it's about a bad-ass cop that's been dead for 60 years that was
bonded to the living embodiement of the wrath of GOD and sent back to
earth to carry out GOD's judgements with almost unlimited power. How
much cooler can you get than that? Please try it. The book did drop off
for a while, but it's starting to pick up steam again and return to it's
previous standards (check out issues 1-16 and you'll see what I mean).
Sales are low so please don't let this masterpiece get canceled (or worse
yet, changed and damaged beyond repair).
Thank you for letting me promote one of my favorite comics.

I used to love the Spectre... I found Haunting of America too long...
Sorry to be the one to give you the news.. but it is being cancelled at
issue#63 after Ostrander/Mandrake's final story arc "The Search for God"
Until later
John
