If you’re eager for the premiere of Mad Men next month, get in the mood with this gallery of Marvel characters from the 60s, 70s, and 80s drawn by Phil Noto . Phil really gets the magazine vibe down cold. It reminds me of the iPad app that came out for X-Men: First Class in tone and feel.
Round 3 of the Mix March Madness 2013 Webcomics Tournament starts now!
We started with over 300 webcomics, and we’re down to 32, while we’ve exposed thousands of people to new webcomics and raised over $750 for the Hero Initiative . Voting for this round lasts until 9PM EDT on Saturday, March 16, so get your votes in.
And now you can log in using Twitter to vote!
We’ve had a few upsets this round– Dresden Codak was knocked out by Commander Kitty, but Doctor Cat couldn’t compete with Dr. McNinja. Sinfest continues to pull ahead, and A Redtail’s Dream beat highly seeded Nimona.
Again, we’re letting you support your favorite strips by paying for additional votes, with your money going to charity. Simply click on the Donate button below, and during checkout, click on “Which comic are you donating for?” and tell us who you’re voting for. The price for this round to 20¢ a vote, with a minimum of five votes purchased at a time, split any way you want. All proceeds from paid votes will go to the Hero Initiative , an organization that helps comic book creators in need. At the close of the round, we’ll add the paid votes to the totals and announce the winners who move on to the brackets. (And yes, your donations to Hero are tax deductible.)
Here are the updated brackets for the Bradbury, Kubert, Sendak, and Washington divisions…

My favorite toy ever is Captain Action .
I mean EVER.
When I was around four, my mother took my sister and me to a toy store. She told us we could have any one thing we wanted. My sister made a quick decision and choose a Barbie. I spent some time trying to choose between a guitar and a GI Joe. I finally made the decision and went with the Joe.
I was as happy as I had ever been with a toy.
GI Joe soon became my favorite toy, best friend and constant companion. Not too long after I got a Black GI Joe which was just a white GI Joe painted brown.
I could not have been happier.
After a time I had seven or eight Joes, as I made sure all my relatives knew my fascination with the action figure. Christmas and birthdays always brought me a new Joe.
My Joes were the highlights of my young life.
One fateful Saturday morning I was watching cartoons and on came a commercial for Captain Action.
Whoa.
Captain Action was cool all by itself but what was this I was seeing? Did I dare believe my eyes? Did the good Captain ALSO change into OTHER SUPERHEROES???
OH YES HE DID!!
I had to have him. I had to have him, I HAD TO HAVE HIM!!!!
I waited impatiently for my mother to get out of bed. Saturday mornings were the only day she was able to sleep in. My mother worked two jobs six days a week, on Saturday she only worked one.
So I waited and waited for what seemed an eternity for her to get out of bed. When she did, I had to wait a wee bit longer (which seemed like decades) because she had to have her coffee. Facing my mother even today without her having had her coffee is a dangerous thing to do.
The second she went into the kitchen I joined her at the table with what had to be the biggest smile I’d ever had. I waited for her to brew her coffee (old school brewing, people, none of this bullshit Mr. Coffee) have that first sip but before I could start in on what I thought was going to be my best ‘I’ve GOT to have it’ plea my mother said;
“What do you want?”
“Captain Action!”
“What’s Captain Action?”
“It’s this cool superhero that changes into other superheroes!’
As if on cue, I heard the commercial playing on the living room television, and I left the table screaming like a mad child.
“Come see!! Come see!!”
My mother stood behind me while I stared again at the object of desire, convinced I would never ever want anything as bad.
“See? That’s Captain Action? Can I have it? PLEASE?”
“Oh, it’s like a GI Joe,” my mother said.
“FUCK GI JOE!!!”
No, I didn’t say that but thinking back that’s how I felt.
After the commercial I resorted to speaking so fast and with so much passion prying that my mother would see how my life would be over if I did not have that toy. I figured as long as I didn’t hear “no” there was still a chance. As every kid knows if you keep talking and don’t give your parents an opportunity to chime in they can’t say “no.”
“Michael, stop!”
Shit.
“Get your coat, you can come shopping with me and we will see about your toy.”
THANKYOUGOD!!!
Off to Gertz we went! Gertz was THE department store back in the day. When we got there my mother walked right to the toy department and brought me Captain Action and the Batman and Superman costume changes.
At that point I had to wonder, who was this woman and what had she done with my mother.
This was entirely way to good to be true.
As I would find out soon… it certainly was.
End of Part One.
Round 2 of the Mix March Madness 2013 Webcomics Tournament starts now! Voting lasts until 9PM EDT on Wednesday, March 13!
Congratulations to everyone who made it through Round 1! We’re down to 64 webcomics, and we’ve raised almost $650 for the Hero Initiative .
We’ve heard your concerns about using Opinion Stage to tally our votes; specifically about needing a Facebook ID to vote. Although you can still purchase as many votes as you like, we understand that some of you don’t have Facebook IDs or don’t want them. We’re working on adding other ways to log in, like Twitter IDs, while still keeping the spammers and script kiddies at bay, and if we come up with more useful solutions we’ll add them in subsequent rounds.
Here are the updated brackets for the Bradbury, Kubert, Sendak, and Washington divisions. Go and vote!

Again, we’re letting you support your favorite strips by paying for additional votes, with your money going to charity. Simply click on the Donate button below, and during checkout, click on “Which comic are you donating for?” and tell us who you’re voting for. The price is going up for this round to 20¢ a vote, with a minimum of five votes purchased at a time, split any way you want. All proceeds from paid votes will go to the Hero Initiative , an organization that helps comic book creators in need. At the close of the round, we’ll add the paid votes to the totals and announce the winners who move on to the brackets. (And yes, your donations to Hero are tax deductible.)
The people have spoken, and the brackets are ready for the Mix March Madness 2013 Webcomics Tournament!
Thanks to the thousands of people who voted in the seeding process , as well as all of you who added your favorite webcomics to the list. We’re adding all of the webcomics you suggested to our directory .
But now, the challenges start!
First, some housekeeping details: Both Tom Siddell of Gunnerkrigg Court and Tarol Hunt from Goblins have asked that their strips not be included in this year’s contest. As such, we honor their wishes and raise their retired jerseys into the rafters.
Second, we’ve had $458.40 in bought votes, or an additional 4584 votes. Of particular note was a write in vote for Leftover Soup , donating $10 to the cause, although it wasn’t enough to get it into the final 128. Again, all money goes to the Hero Initiative .
Third, once again, poll traffic has overwhelmed our site, with additional people trying to horn in. To help alleviate the problem, we’re offloading our polling to Opinion Stage . Yes, this does mean that you’ll need a Facebook ID to vote, although anyone can still purchase as many votes as you like.
Finally, here are the brackets. As usual, we’re dividing the 128 candidates into four divisions. This year’s divisions are Bradbury, Kubert, Sendak, and Washington.

Okay, so Wesley and Fred are getting romantic advice from Agent Coulson, while Captain Mal Reynolds, Detective Kellerman, and Garfunkel lurk around in the background, in Joss Whedon’s latest iteration of the Avengers… oh, just watch. It’s Shakespeare, it’s good for you.

The Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide was first published in 1970, with a second printing required later that same year. Beginning with the fourth edition, published in 1974, the Guide began featuring original art on its covers. As they’re getting ready to reveal the covers for The Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide #43, they’re offering readers a chance to vote by decade for their favorite Guide covers of all time.
Spider-Man might be a fictional superhero, but at least two of his tricks exist in the real world. Now, scientists have shown that it’s possible spin silk strong enough to stop a train, and are crafting a new, super-sensory suit that warns its wearer when someone — or something — is approaching.
