Comics In Arrested Development
Posted by: Preston Wheatley on: March 20, 2011
I haven’t written for High Five in some time now. To be fair I never contribute too heavily and a disruption is measured in months not weeks, but really I haven’t been writing because I haven’t kept up with new comics. Sure, I hit the shop every week and often pick up a book or [...]
Wolverine’s Foray Into Death Metal
Posted by: Brendan K. on: February 18, 2011
A charming curio from a time often better forgotten in both music and comics: The early 1990s. I’m listening to Entombed’s “Wolverine Blues”, released in 1993 with an exclusive mini-comic starring everybody’s favorite Canucklehead. Though sometimes noted by serious metal fans as less of a “true” death metal record than their previous records (remember, we’re [...]
Bill Murray and Stan Lee’s Fantastic Four Radio Show
Posted by: Robert Bazz on: January 4, 2011
So, we all know how much I love the old Silver Age Fantastic Four books (or, well, anything Silver Age, really). It’s no surprise, then, that I got ridiculously excited when I discovered that in the mid-70s there was a short lived radio serial based on several of the Lee/Kirby issues of Fantastic Four. The [...]
Spider-Man Vs. The Prodigy: Take That, Horny Teenagers!
Posted by: Robert Bazz on: October 11, 2010
Right around the transition from the Silver Age to the Bronze Age, comics loved to start getting into some real serious shit, both in regular series and non-canon PSA comics presented by third party organizations. Marvel cranked out more of these than anybody so a crazy amount of these involved your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man. A [...]

When I was a young’un, I’d wake up early every Saturday morning to watch the crap out of some Batman Beyond. For whatever reason, a Batman in the future kind of seemed like one of the most awesome things ever (even if the show was pretty much just made up words, Seth Green, and day-glo [...]

Today I was reading through Steve Gerber’s Man-Thing # 16 and staring up at me on the first page was an advertisement so incredible I had to talk about it. Though the world of comics has always been a bizarre and ever-changing landscape a few concepts have remained intact. Among them is the idea of [...]
How Much for Fringe’s Alternate Universe Variant Covers?
Posted by: Robert Bazz on: May 21, 2010
So, a couple days ago over on DC’s The Source blog, they put up a weird cover for a “Red Lantern/Red Arrow” cover tribute to Neal Adams’ Green Arrow Vol. 2 #76. I saw it, kinda went “Well, that’s odd,” and left it at that. Being a gigantic nerd about the show Fringe (to the [...]

If you want your beloved Disney Afternoon heroes to come back to life in comic book form, apparently all you have to do is ask. Last October at Long Beach Comic Con, BOOM! Studios hosted a panel on their upcoming titles, including a few from their Disney line; Uncle Scrooge and Mickey Mouse. The second [...]
Happy Holidays from High Five!
Posted by: Robert Bazz on: December 25, 2009
I came across this in an old December 1983 Dallas Times Herald newspaper supplement issue of Spider-Man (the Kingpin goes to Dallas and dresses as Santa to hold some billionaires hostage, pretty lame story) and it seemed highly necessary, considering what today is. Anyways, do as the Hulk says and have a happy Christmas, Hanukkah, [...]
