Well, this is a first. The Kyle's B&B website provider seems to be having some problems today; the website is still up & running, but I cannot access it to update it with the latest episode of the comic strip. Meanwhile, the other place I post the new episode of the strip, Comic Space is also having difficulties today. The whole site is down! So, what is one to do to see the newest episode of Kyle's B&B? Well, I have posted it here on the Kyle's B&B Blog! If you click on this image above, it should give you a view of the new episode at it's regular, larger size. (Don't try reading it at this size, you'll miss out on all the detail!). Click on the pic!

UPDATE: It's official...I'm going to be posting new episodes here on the blog for the foreseeable future. This has worked out so well, with virtually no one writing to complain about having problems viewing the new episode, (unlike where I used to post it), it'd be crazy to go back to the old way. So, be sure to stop back here on June 5th-6th for the next episode!

Chemical King Gets SHAFTED Again!!!

If you're a comic book reader, you may know about the current cross-over storyline going on in DC's Justice League of America and Justice Society of America books, involving perhaps my favorite super-group of all time, the Legion of Super-Heroes! I'm not sure where this story's going, but it's exciting to see that the Legion I grew up with, the one that inspired me on many levels, appears to be coming back in the form I remember them. The recent issue of JSA, # 5, features a gorgeous double-page spread of the Legion, (what are actually Legion statues), and it shows thirty members, almost every member who ever meant anything to the team. Except for one. Chemical King! They left out Chemical King!!! Once again, the man in green gets shafted! If you know about Legion history, (I can imagine many people reading this right now are thinking, "Damn, I had no idea that Greg Fox was such a comic book ultra-geek!"), you'll know that Chemical King's death was...how shall I put this? Not handled well. What had been an interesting, though under-used character, was suddenly portrayed as a strange malcontent with an inferiority complex in his final appearance, (and his death scene, miscolored by a careless colorist and shoved into a rushed, abbreviated ending to the story, was insulting to fans who cared about the character). I'm sure Breyer of Kyle's B&B would agree, as we saw he is a big fan of the character, which he discusses with Brad in episode # 187, (a portion of which is shown below):















So, all I can say is....I'm happy that DC appears to be bringing back the Legion in a form that I love, but....please....lets not forget about CK, OK?
