Chris is on Infinite Earths, Episode 26: Resurrection Man #1's (1997/2011) #SuperBlogTeamUp



Who ever said there can only be one?  For today, we are ALL immortal.  Join your host, Chris (@acecomics) for stories of how hypochondria, an overactive imagination, and a tiny directionly-challenged bird made him recently question his own mortality... as well as an exercise in comparing and contrasting two takes on the weird DC Comics character, Resurrection Man!
Where else but during Super-Blog Team-Up: Immortal will you hear anyone talk about both versions of Resurrection Man?
All that, and details for my top secret Cheerios Diet... which, admittedly isn't too hard to crack the code on.  Remember, before starting any diet or exercise program to confer with an idiot who babbles into your ears for an hour and change on Wednesdays.

Greetings Weekly Warriors!  This time out, we discuss a book that, if you've been following along at the blog, is long overdue: Action Comics Weekly #601!  We look at, and break down all six features... but only after discussing everything that led up to the Chris is on Infinite Earths blog's change in direction as of February, 2019.  It's the story of missing diplomas, hungry ATM Machines, and crippling anxiety.  A super-fun time as always... so, check it out!

Chris is on Infinite Earths, Episode 24: Justice League: Generation Lost (2010) + Strikeforce: Morituri


This week, in a weirdly Marvel-centric outing... Chris (@acecomics) takes you back to the Spring of 2010, during a time when two comic book teams took over much of his reading: the Brightest Day-era JLI... and a book he finally found at a most apropos time, Strikeforce: Morituri.  Join him as he makes many poor comparisons between agreeing to undergo the "Morituri Process" and accepting a temp job!

Chris is on Infinite Earths, Episode 23: Adventures of Superman #549 (1997)


Hey Everybody, today Chris (@acecomics) checks in on the "Electric Blue" era for the Man of Steel, while catching up with some 1st Issue Special alumni (in both the Dingbats on Danger Street and the Green Team) and sharing an overlong personal story of his own teen-age preciosity.  If you're just interested in the comics content and not the rambling idiot telling you about his inability to cope with a cross-country move... you're fast-forward finger is in for quite the workout!

Chris is on Infinite Earths, Episode #22: Superman #281 (1974) #VartoxWeek


Blessings and Riches, my friends... for today is a day like no other.  Ladies and Gentlemen, it's Vartox Week!
Today Chris (@acecomics) shares the story of how a hairy-chested mustachioed alien stranger saved his blog from terminal burn-out!  It's a discussion about the frustrations associated with the creation of content, getting into one's own head, and attempts at side-stepping writer's block.
All that and a Bronze-Age issue of Superman to boot!
Celebrate Vartox Week responsibly... and remember, this is the one week a year where we're all Valerians!

Chris is on Infinite Earths, Episode 21: 1st Issue Special #4 (1975) Lady Cop!


Greetings fellow comic-hunters!  Today Chris (@acecomics) will take you on a collector's journey when he shares the story of a white whale that had eluded him for over a decade!  It's the story of the hunt for... Lady Cop!
After giving the low-down on just what "1st Issue Special" was, and the very titled resonated with a man who grew up during the comics speculator craze, he prescribes his own Curmudgeonly Collect-mandments... which might just (though, hopefully won't) ruffle a feather or two.  It's the story of a babbling Luddite... you won't wanna miss it!
Oh yeah, we also actually read the thing... and, learn all about inner-city crime, first-aid, venereal disease, and answer the question of: What's stronger, a live grenade... or a garbage can?

Chris is on Infinite Earths, Episode #20: Justice League of America #224 (1984)


Hello Conventioneers!  This time out your paragon of curmudgeon-ing Chris (@acecomics) shares his experiences attending and even volunteering at various comic book conventions during his fandom-career.  From humble beginnings rifling through bins at the Sun-Vet Mall, to getting the opportunity to wear a Media badge, interviewing Kurt Busiek and having a picture taken with Dan Jurgens... it's a story of anxiety, agoraphobia, preciosity and heat-exhaustion. 
Also, we take a look at Justice League of America #224 (March, 1984) by the aforementioned Mr. Busiek - With an audio clip of my 2016 interview with him where we discuss this very issue!
