Oh Wolverine, why can't you be true? You've done stopped doing the things you used to do As I was motivatin' over the hill I saw Wolverine in a group de ville A Wendigo a-rollin' on the open road Nothin' will outrun a big green Hulk The Wendigo doin' 'bout ninety-five His temper distemper growlin' side by side Wolverine, why can't you be true? Oh Wolverine, why can't you be true? You've done stopped doing the things you used to do The Wendigo pulled up ahead of the Hulk The Hulk got shot and wouldn't do no more It then got cloudy and it started to rain I got on the horn for a passin' lead The rain water blowin' all under my hood I knew that was doin' my Logan good Wolverine, why can't you be true?

You've done stopped doing the things you used to do Then Logan cooled down, the Hulk went down And that's when I heard that faraway sound The Wendigo a-sittin' like a ton of lead A hundred and ten a half a mile ahead The Wendigo lookin' like it's sittin' still And I caught Wolverine at the top of the hill Wolverine, why can't you be true?

9:25 pm	JUST GOT BACK FROM SAN JOSE SUPER-CON Just got back from Super-Con 2009 in San Jose. Buzz was kind enough to sign JSA #12 and #22. Ernie Chan was kind enough to sign Conan the Barbarian #117: "In The Lair Of Mullah-Kajar!" Mick Gray was kind enough to sign Justice Society Of America #18 and Justice League of America: Kingdom Come Special: The Kingdom #1. Pablo Marcos was kind enough to sign Infinity Inc. #39: "The Saga of Solomon Grundy!", Avengers #161: "Attacked By The Ant-Man!", The Mighty Thor #252 - #253. I picked up a couple of prints featuring Simon Garth the Zombie from Mr. Marcos. Steve Leialoha was kind enough to sign Captain America #221. Both Ernie Chan and Pablo Marcos signed The Secret Society of Super-Villains #1 and The Avengers #166. In both cases, Ernie would do the cover and Pablo would do the interior art. Alex Nino signed my copy of Welcome Back To The House Of Mystery. Joe Rubinstein was kind enough to sign The Incredible Hulk #225 and Marvel Two In One Annual #2: "To Duel A Mad God!" The artist mentioned to me that the Peter Parker head on the splash page of MTIO was redrawn by John Romita Sr. I was glad to chat with: Renee Witterstaetter, former Marvel Editor, and current agent for Michael Golden. I think she was surprised that I was more interested in her past Editorial work than getting in line for Michael. Rich Koslowski, creator of the 3 Geeks. I was delighted to see him at the con and catch up on his current work. Bruce Dern, actor. The first time I remember seeing Mr. Dern onscreen was in Alfred Hitchcock's Family Plot. He was kind enough to share what it was like in the early days of his career, guest-starring on various shows of the 1960s, including "The Big Valley," "Gunsmoke," "The Fugitive," and "The Outer Limits". "The Zantee Misfits" was a favorite of mine, I admitted that the alien bugs scared me so much, that I kept my feet off the ground while watching this particular Outer Limits. Mr. Dern mentioned that the misfits had batteries in them, and they did creep him out during filming. Location filming for "The Zanti Misfits" was shot where Star Trek would later shoot "Arena" and "Shore Leave". Although Tony DeZuniga could not attend because of the flu, his wife was there, and she was glad to see me. I picked up color prints of Conan the Barbarian, Supergirl, and Spider-Woman. Mrs. DeZuniga said that I could bring these to the next Wondercon, and have her husband sign them for me. Get well soon, Mr. DeZuniga! As another attendee put it, the main reason I was looking forward to Super-Con was to meet John Wesley Shipp. Prior to the CBS TV series, my previous exposure to the character was in the Super Friends cartoon, and a few 1970s comic book. He was the character who could run fast. Although it ran for only one season, suffered from numerous pre-emptions by CBS in favor of NCAA Basketball, and was unceremoniously shuffled off to air unannounced after Saturday Afternoon Golf, I loved The Flash TV Series. What would happen if a police scientist got zapped by lightning and chemicals in 1990? We saw Barry Allen learning to overcome the shock of his new powers and turning them into a force for good. During the season, viewers saw the relationship between Barry and Tina grow, and also witnessed some fine acting from John Wesley Shipp and Amanda Pays. Nary a false note between the Star Labs scientist and her patient. Comic book fans got to see new versions of Captain Cold, the Trickster, and the Mirror Master, as portrayed by Michael Champion, Mark Hamill, and David Cassidy. We also got a few giveaway Easter Eggs in the form of throwaways mentioning: "Gorilla Grodd," "Carter Hall," "Hotel Infantino,"and "Police Chief Julius Schwartz". I was very happy to meet the actor who brought this version of the Scarlet Speedster to life on the TV screen and can only hope that current genre shows such as "Smallville" and "The Big Bang Theory" will consider featuring Mr. Shipp as a guest-star. The actor was kind enough to share some behind-the-scenes stories about the series, including: what his stuntman went through while shooting the water tank scene in "The Trickster" episode, what it was like to wear a hot costume, and rearrange his scene shooting schedule to better budget his time. Even after The Flash TV series ended, and he made appearances on "All My Children," NYPD Blue," and "Dawson's Creek," most folks stil remember him primarily for The Flash. The actor made the police scientist and the Scarlet Speedster so darned likable (no mean feat.) Here's hoping that in the age of Blu-Ray, we'll get a special edition of The Flash TV Series, and some special features along the lines of interviews with the actors, producers, and writers of the series. Hey, Warner Bros., I got the DVD set, but I'd definitely put my wallet where my mouth is for a dream package like this! Among the 50 cents/1 dollar comics I picked up at Super-Con: All-Star Squadron Annual #2 Bat Lash #7 DC Super-Stars Presents Secret Society Of Super-Villains #14. G.I. Combat #108" The Wounded Don't Wait!" The Green Arrow by Jack Kirby Justice League of America #118, 142, 144 The Shadow #4: "Death Is Bliss!" and #9: "Night Of The Falling Death!" Superman #226: When Superman Became King Kong!" Amazing Adventures #23 and #33 Astonishing Tales #22 and #24 Captain America #189 Conan The Barbarian #37: "Curse Of The Golden Skull!" Dead Of Night #7: "What Lurks On The Thirteenth Floor?" Ghost Rider #6: "The Menace Of The Second Zodiac!" The Incredible Hulk #179: "Once More -- The Missing Link!" The Incredible Hulk #193: "The Doctor's name Is Samson!" Marvel Team-Up #37: "Murder Means The Man-Wolf!" What If #13: "What If Conan The Barbarian Walked The Earth Today?" Having found this particular issue, I asked Ernie Chan to sign it for me. He paused to savor the art from thirty years ago. What If #15: "What If Nova Had Been Four Other People?" (Comment on this)

11:44 am	FROM THE FRONT PAGE OF THE PULSE 05/08/09 http://www.comicon.com/pulse.aspx From The Front Page Of The PULSE 05/08/09 By Jennifer M. Contino Don Kramer only drew a portion of this week's Batman: Battle for the Cowl The Network, because time crunches prevented him from doing more. Kramer told THE PULSE, "Over the holidays, I fell behind on the last Nightwing issue which threw all the plans for me on Battle for the Cowl and Oracle out of whack. It was like a domino effect." The artist talks candidly with us about juggling projects, working on only a portion of an issue and more in the first of a two-part interview .... The Tony Award winning Victor Garber talks about playing one of the biggest thorns in Green Lantern's side, Sinestro. Garber voices the villain in the upcoming Green Lantern: First Flight. Garber said, "This is very different from anything I've done on television or even on stage. But my job as an actor is to imbue it with some sort of authenticity and truth – to make it believable. I didn’t pull anything for Sinestro from any specific character I’ve played in the past. They're all different." A man who forged a check to get a copy of Amazing Spider-Man # 2 from Graham Cracker Comics was sentenced to seven years in prison. After novelist Scott Snyder wrote The 13th Egg, a WWII story about a man who acquires strange abilities after the Bikini Island bomb tests, he was asked by Marvel Comics to pitch a few ideas for their characters. After a pitch that examined some supporting Marvel players, the House of Ideas asked the scribe if he might be interested in taking on the Golden Age Human Torch. Snyder said he "jumped" at the chance to take on this icon in the pages of Marvel's 70th Anniversary Special The Human Torch Comics. Snyder told THE PULSE, "I'm fascinated by this idea that he's a robot beneath the human skin, like some kind of android Frankenstein." When Scott Cohn mentioned he wanted to draw a werewolf, it didn't take scribe Mike Raicht long to fit one into the latest Army Of Darkness saga. Cohn's having a great time drawing this creature of the night and pitting it against Ash. But that's just one of the reasons Cohn's spending time with the Chosen One. He told THE PULSE this latest arc sees Ash travel seven continents and meet more members of the mysterious League of Light. Cohn teased, "Of course, it takes a pretty big crisis for them to team up. What that crisis is, is something we are going to be exploring in the next six issues or so." It's almost Mother's Day and thinking about the qualities I admire the most in my own mother, Peggy, made me think about some of the factors that made each of the following women the top five superhero related comic book mother figures in my opinion. Find out if any of your favorites made the my top five, and feel free to add others who you think should have at least been in the running. (Comment on this)

Everybody gasps at the things that I say and do. They all gasp when they say me coming, But you don’t gasp; you just go home running. Everybody loathes a clone, so why can’t you? A clone has feelings too. I poke around at apartments when you aren't there. But you don’t gasp, you don’t look; you just don’t dare. If you wondered why this clone is crying, look a little closer; inside I’m dying. It’s not easy, you see when you’re a clone like me. I don’t know how to say that I love you, ‘cause you would smile and say “it's a joke or two.” Yes, I’m a clone, but I don’t want to be. Why can’t you see the other one's not me? Guess I’ll be the one who plays the part Of a clone with a broken heart. Screaming at your love, and not knowing where to start. Screaming at your love, and not knowing where to start.

8:23 pm	"THE MIND OF SIMON" TO THE TUNE OF "THE SOUND OF SILENCE" AS SUNG BY SIMON AND GARFUNKEL "The Mind Of Simon" To The Tune Of "The Sound Of Silence" As Sung by Simon and Garfunkel Hello Ultron, my old friend, I've come to talk with you again, Because the Vision softly creeping, Left its seeds while I was sleeping, And the Vision that was planted with my brain Still remains Given the mind of Simon. In restless schemes I soared alone Narrow feats from my tombstone, neath the salvo of a sweet vamp, I turned my power to the cold and damp When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of A new insight That split the night And touched the mind of Simon. And in the naked light I saw The Mighty Avengers, maybe more. Avengers talking without speaking, Avengers hearing without listening, Avengers righting wrongs that others never dare And no one dared Disturb the mind of Simon. Pym said 5,you do not know Simon like an answer grows. Heed my words that I might teach you, Take up arms that I might reach you. But Pym's words like silent anthills fell, And echoed In the will of Simon And the Avengers bowed and praised To the Synthezoid they bade. And Ultron flashed out its warning, In the words that it was forming. And Ultron said, the words Simon Williams Are written on the pathway walls And testament calls. And whisperd in the mind of Simon. (Comment on this)
