AICN COMICS SHOOT THE MESSENGER: Q & @ with Catastrophic Comics' Christopher Folino & THE GREATEST AMERICAN HERO William Katt!!!

That is a horrible little poster for the site. by GetEveryone	Sep 2nd, 2008 07:59:37 AM
Really, atrocious. As it is, never heard of any of these comics. Only really got into a couple recently through a friend's recommendation. Here's the list of the ones I've had a look at so far. Y - The Last Man is great; Preacher looks to be as good; Sandman looks great, if a little gothic (though I love most things Gaiman has done); and Black Hole is wonderful. Still have Swamp Thing, Fables, Civil War, Identity Crisis and Hellblazer to work my way through but that relies heavily on how much I enjoy the others.
That struck me.. by Lolthien	Sep 2nd, 2008 08:04:46 AM
As a very awkward interview. I mean, more power to these guys and all, but with the half sentences and completing the other guy's thoughts and all. Maybe it's just the mood I'm in but that got under my skin.
Libs/Cons cooperation--great show element! by JasonPratt	Sep 2nd, 2008 08:26:30 AM
One of the best things about the original show, is that it played fair as an argument about mutual criticism and value on both sides of the American political/cultural scene. Ralph and Bill/Connie could both try overly goofy things that reflected the idealism of their politics, gone too far. But both were often presented as being correct, too. (Sometimes on the same topic despite their differences!) It was a brilliant mix, and I'm hard-pressed to think of another show that's done as well on that score.
Amazing by Ralph Hinkley	Sep 2nd, 2008 09:32:02 AM
That picture of Ralph in the tweed jacket with the suit underneath is amazing...but I may be biased.
I have the complete DVD collection... by Bill Clay	Sep 2nd, 2008 11:30:13 AM
Season 3 went off track a bit, being the final season, but overall it was a great series. As a bonus, the Season 3 DVD has "The Greatest American Heroine" included - an attempt to revive the show a couple of years later with a female superhero! It had a Sarah Palin looking chick wearing "the suit" with Bill as her mentor. For the most part it was an awful revival, except for the fact that it brought back the original cast and gave them the finale that they never got to do during the original series' run. A must see for GAH fans.
Loved the show as a kid by Darth Busey	Sep 2nd, 2008 11:55:01 AM
Even though its a blatant rip-off of Green Lantern. The premise still works, and would be a viable tv show, film, comic book, whatever. Good luck to Bill Katt on this.
Condor Man by NYC Strong	Sep 2nd, 2008 11:59:15 AM
That show was a rip off of the Condor Man movie. They were riding the coat tails of it's mid level success. Regardless, I watched both and liked both, as a kid.
Captain Bellybuster by The Gipper	Sep 2nd, 2008 12:24:16 PM
They're missing out on one other Stephen J. Cannell created superhero -- Captain Bellybuster. Captain Bellybuster was on both Greatest American Hero AND The A-Team. He was the mascot for Burger Heaven. Captain Bellybuster DESERVES his own comic series, too!!!
The shortness of this talkback is depressing... by Bill Clay	Sep 3rd, 2008 11:41:00 PM
I guess us GAH fans are in short supply around here. :(
Comics, Schmomics, What about the movie? by _Maltheus_	Sep 9th, 2008 10:01:03 AM
I came to this site to read about the movie: http://tinyurl.com/6ekb86 . It seems like an original cast thing too. I dunno if I 'believe it or not', but I'd like to see it.
