Looks like he's been taking notes from Moebius. Excellent; he's at his best in sci-fi mode, methinks. Hey, Paul . . . animated THB movie? I'm just sayin'.
Anyone else mistaken that io9 had an exclusive with Pope Benedict XVI? I was terribly confused and amused. The image of Ratzinger with turntables was pretty amazing.
That headline is misleading. I read this as "Pope Trek" and was hoping for a comic about history's greatest Popes travelling the cosmos in a space ship.
I couldnt afford these. But im all for supporting art in every way and form. Im an illustrator and I love it when people rally behind good art. This is lovely because im really partial to black and white art. The art work from the ABC Warriors in 2000AD is no exception.
@Art•Rob: I'm no art expert, so all I can say is, this hurt my eyes to look at. Y'all can explain the technical reasons why, but it looks like the crappy cheapo Gold Key comics of my childhood.
@Evil Tortie's Mom: The high muckety-mucks here at io9 are huge Paul Poe fans (papists?). Never saw the appeal myself.
Also, the Gold Key comics? I am even now registering my amusement at voluable levels!
Yah, I remember getting a big squarebound collection of those for the astronomical price of $2.50 or so for a long car trip when I was nine. Even then I remember thinking, "Wow, this is really poopy art!"
I've been spending the past few days (mainly a DC-Seattle plane ride) trying to decipher all the clues hidden in the mag. Anyone wanting to help/turn this thread into an info dump please feel free.
It's a fun issue and reminds me why I dig what JJ Abrams does.
Oh boy... It's not like many of us Star Trek fans really knew anything about this Spack/Spuck/Spoke(?) guy anyway. He's the guy with the pale face, bowl cut and the funny looking ears, right?
"Basically we get a snapshot of how Spock grew up dealing with various puzzles - and a pretty scary lion-thing - during his adolescence."
This is from the animated Star Trek series, specifically an episode called "Yesteryear." Spock confronts a timeline in which he was killed as a child, so the idea that Spock has been tweaking his own past has been kicking around the Star Trek universe since 1973.
So the animated series counts as canon now? I've never been sure, but I've always felt it was.
That was a good ep of TAS. Spock has to use the Guardian of Forever to go back and pose as his own cousin to save his younger self from the killer beastie. Makes sense that he'd think of doing it again.

Internet complaining is the mind-killer.
My nit picking is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
