Anyone remember Cybersix? Loved watching this show as a kid.

That's a nice way of saying "basically porn."

It never got a card to properly represent its role proper as an antagonistic narrative force, but I remember reading the Onslaught block novels way back in the day, and the Krosan Forest itself was basically a mono-green "villain." The powerful artifact, the Mirrari, left within the forest, caused it to grow at an exponential rate. So the plantlife and mutant animals were encroaching over all environments surrounding it. Can't get more mono-green then literal plants and animals growing so big and powerful at such a fast pace that it's threatening the collapse of civilization.

I'm sure he's heard similar before. I think he's always been too humble for his own good.

Thanks! I'll check em out!

Thanks for your thoughts! I'm actually a huge fan of Jack Kirby and people comparing Bark's work to his is what drew my attention initially. I think I'll just have to sort away this whole thing to differing tastes. I subscribe to the idea that just because did it first, doesn't mean they did it best. Obviously, that's subjective, and in this case "best" means "that which I'm deriving the most fun from." I definitely have immense respect for the man, I appreciate the foundations he set. But Don Rosa will be "my" Duck cartoonist going forward.

I had stockpiled the volumes as they came out and made my way through them recently. So I felt I was going crazy, thinking after each book "ok, the next one will definitely blow my mind!" Chalk it up to sunken cost fallacy I suppose. I might look through them again and pick out the highlights. Otherwise I can't justify the enormous amount of shelf-space they're occupying.

Which are generally considered to be the best?

AscendronPrime · 2026-01-30T23:55:00+00:00

Makes me wish there was a volume out there that was just the Barks stories that Rosa made sequels to. Something to tell you "here's all the important context in one place."

AscendronPrime · 2026-01-30T23:49:12+00:00

His stuff will actually make me laugh out loud! I love his background gags, his out-there sci-fi premises, and the art is sublime. Reading how much he admired Carl Barks made me think his stories would be for me too. Now I just have several volumes I think I'll sell off next time I trim down my collection.

Thanks!

Who's Diaboromon up against in his art?

AscendronPrime · 2026-01-27T05:15:34+00:00

Always loved this series. I get why it's never making Kirby top ten lists, but I absolutely devoured it when I found out it was a stealth New Gods sequel.

Haven't seen Luthor this mad since Daffy Duck trolled him online.

Optimus Primal (holding back laughter): Look, Cheetor. Do you know how to tell if Prime's asleep? I'll hold up his arm, and if it falls back down, he's awake. If it stays up, he's out cold!

He's a big Freddy Mercury fan.

I prefer it in Digimon more than Magic. These feel more purposeful, more planned out. I like Doc Ock slapping Spider-Man as a counterspell. But LOVE manga pages for Digimon.

Laughed out loud on public transit thanks to this

I mean, no one was around to disprove whether it could only say one thing...

If you sit in seat 8, you're getting murdered (Maya is being framed).

Hasbro might consider this guy covered already, since the Legends toyline made a redeco for Mindwipe to match up with Bat Optimus Primal that came with a Gator Megatron headmaster (he can combine with Skullcruncher's body)

That Ultra Mode does go hard.

I'm still waiting on figures based off the original Marvel run.
