    Just been reading a few issues of Hex and the Vigilante(Adrian Chase),also has there ever been a final Sgt.Rock story as I don't think he's around anymore is he?
  2.  
    I think he might be. He was in Suicide Squad a few years ago I think. They'd moved him upstairs to some kind of desk job!

    Actually now I think about it he may have died in some invasion - Our Worlds At War or something. My DC knowledge is limited so for all I know that Suicude Squad story came after Our Worls At War!

    There was an ace Billy Tucci Sgt Rock mini-series last year - although that was set back in WW2.

    I don't believe they ever did a final Sgt. Rock story. I know the creators always maintained he would die on the last day of the war. Because, see, once his War ended and his guys could go home Frank Rock's job would be done. They never did this story though as they didn't see the need. But yeah, he's dead.

    Since you didn't ask here's some more Are They Dead? Think of it as a pre-emptive strike. They did do a final Unknown Soldier story in which he died killing Hitler in his bunker. Really. That's fantastic isn't it. I don't have that anymore so I'm going to have to track that down like Mossad after Eichmann.

    The Losers died in (SPOILERS!) the prologue to Darwyn Cooke's The New Frontier. It is fantastic that bit. Really, really fantastic. And sad. If you are a fan of reading about comic characters dying get that one. It's a good death. I think they also died in The Losers Special which tied into some DC Event (Crisis on Infinite Earths?) but it's sh*t (technical critical term), so go with The New Frontier.

    Oh. Maybe Mike's right, he's more current than I am. Maybe Rock's got a desk job. Now you mention it he does turn up in stories set after WW2, although the only ones I've read are Bob Haney Brave And The Bold issues where Batman and Sgt Rock team up Krak-KOW!! Bob Haney! In my personal continuity Sgt Rock is dead. No offence, Frank Rock!

    Rock died last day of the war then came back, to perform covert missions for the guv, He died during imperex war,with the golden age wonder woman and her mum, and was buried in arlington (just rock in his elghties). Then
    a "similar" frank rock was at the head of the new suicide quad like ya said mike.

    OKComicsman is endearingly confusing me with Raymond again. Because. Everyone. Loves. Raymond. Haw!
  8.  
    i don't love raymond. he is like a slightly creepy version of the fella out of scrubs and his sitcom is witheringly awful throughout.
  9.  
    Of course Everybody Loves Raymond! That’s why it’s called Everybody Loves Raymond! Even you love Raymond, Captain Si, otherwise they’d legally have to call it Everybody Loves Raymond(Except for Captain Si)! I haven’t actually seen Everybody Loves Raymond but I think it’s based on that Harlan Ellison story where the guy becomes s*xually irresistible to everyone isn’t it? I certainly know my T.V.!
  10.  
    i don't know about "s*xually irresistible", but something about that laugh-free zone seems to keep millions of americans glued to their television sets.

    and no. no i do not love raymond. i had to sign a release form so they didn't have to change the title to some unworkable and off putting title.

    now, everybody hates chris, thats a much better show!

    no it isn't, its a terrible rip off of The Wonder Years, right down to him narrating his highscool days from the future...
  12.  
    That Everybody Hates Chris sounds good. What kind of future is it that Narrating Chris lives in? Do they have robot pies and people with T.V screens for eyes? Is it a Utopia? Is it a Dystopia? I bet it's a Dystopia, they do have more dramatic potential don't they? Why, though, why, the Power of Christ compels me to ask, does everyone hate Chris?
    Is he the last best hope for humanity hunted by the Evil Governmentals? is it that staunch Chris keeps the flame of Freedom burning bright by travelling from beleaguered township to oppressed cityblock and regaling the downtrodden folk with tales of The Past in The Long Long Ago? Of how he went to The High School? Of the days before America Lost Her Way? Is Everybody Hates Chris a harrowing yet ultimately optimistic portrait of humanity, a programme that heals even as it wounds? Or is it that one with Chris Rock producing that's a bit like the Wonder Years, but funny?
  13.  
    Everbody Hates Chris is not funny...
  14.  
    You're sounding pretty adamant there, old chum. Obviously a matter of some import here. So then, it's the one with Chris Rock producing that's a bit like The Wonder Years, but not funny? That one. I don't know, I don't watch it.
  15.  
    i've only caught a couple of episodes of everybody hates chris, i thought it was pretty good as far as US sitcoms go. its better than king of queens, that one with the voice of Leela from futurama in and the rake of other dismal sitcoms that have popped up lately. i also thought that riffing on the wonder years was kind of the point - being that that was all about learning valuable life lessons, in everybody hates chris, chris learns...nothing. least, thats what i thought.

    they're all in the shade next to the big bang theory, anyway :)
  16.  
    that is compeltely true, The Big Bang Theory is awsomeness...

    Despite intending to hate it, I've found myself loving How I Met Your Mother!
    I kind of want to be Barney.

    are we ever going to see the other half of the animal man series in graphic novel form?really pees me off when they start collecting the series think the last GN i had was deux ex machina which took it up to 26 was the rest crap or what?
  20.  
    count yourself lucky, i'm still waiting for further collections of shade! i bought the first volume in 2003 and its taken DC seven years to get round to the rest. and in the meantime, i bought the whole lot for cheapness at OK - and with some whizzy postcards too.

    i'd like to see james robinson's starman reprinted too, i missed the boat on that and only have one mid series volume of that.
