August 30 Day Comic Book Stuff Challenge

No, though I admit I have thought it would be cool to wallpaper a room with comic covers. I just wouldn't be willing to absorb the expense to pull that off.

August 18 – Do you have comic books hanging on a wall in your home? If so, what are they and why did you decide to display them? Pics would be cool.


Yes, I currently use a frame designed for comics. It hangs near my collection and I switch it out periodically with a different new or old comic. For a while, it's been Jim Lee's Harley Quinn month variant cover to Justice League.

In the past, I had three plastic wall hangers, but they were in bad shape.
There's at least one pic that captures it in my fortress thread.

Most definitely. All the comic books I hanging on my walls are autographed by some of my favorite artists and of my favorite characters. Most of them feature female characters such as Harley Quinn, Rogue, Wonder Woman, Black Cat and Carol Danvers Ms. Marvel and Mary Jane Watson. Other wall art includes the X-Men and Spider-Man.

You and I are of one mind there. I lean toward the ladies in my display case and when I pick a comic-related image for my computer wallpaper it's like 98% female. I only have three statues and they're all ladies (Harley, Arisia, and Supergirl). The female form is just nicer to look at for extended periods.

I sure do. I usually keep a few books that were signed by the artist(s)/writer(s) up for display. Since I have so many signed books, I tend to rotate them in and out when I get tired of looking at a particular set.

See for evidence:

Here are some of the prints and comics hanging from my walls.

August 19 – The top five worse comic book films

5. Spider-Man 3
4. Wolverine: Origins
3. Catwoman
2. Superman Returns
1. Steel

[Mister Ed Horse of a Different Color Find all posts View Profile Close Mister Ed]

The five worst that I've actually SEEN (in no particular order) are:

Daredevil
Superman 4:The Quest for Peace
Spiderman 3
X3
Superman Returns

There are others I'm sure are worse (in some cases MUCH worse), but I have avoided seeing them, either through wisdom or good fortune, so I'm not prepared to list them.

August 19 – The top five worse comic book films

I have sat through all these:

Steel
Spider-Man (1977)
Nick Fury (1998)
The Roger Corman Fantastic Four
Captain America (1990)

Catwoman gets special mention, but with the caveat that I found this one so bad it's good and I actually picked it up cheap on BD.

If I was going to make a list of my least favorite of the big, box-office blockbuster types, it would probably be

Spider-man 3
Judge Dredd
X-Men 3: The Last Stand
Captain America: Winter Soldier
The Dark Knight Rises

August 19 – The top five worst comic book films

From an expectations standpoint:

5. Elektra
4. X-men: The Last Stand
3. Spiderman 3
2. Superman Returns
1. Batman & Robin

There may be worse films, but personally, these five let me down the most, and in that order.

I still haven't seen any Ghost Rider movie and have no desire to.

Good catch. I meant Judge Dredd. No, I love and own Dredd. Corrected.

How anyone could not like Winter Soldier is beyond me.
