So addicted to these Wizard reviews. Thanks for doing them. I started reading wizard about issue 10 or so.

As a proud Canadian....you’re welcome for Anti Gravity Room. An amazing show!

Did you work on it?

I would watch those qvc, home shopping network segments just to get any comic fix.

midway through this video I ended up re-watching the first three episodes of MTV Oddities The Maxx - really hoping you guys end up following through on featuring it on Kayfabe - as well, it was a real treat getting to watch a Kayfabe Wizard episode on a Wednesday - thanks.

My first issue of Wizard! I'd been a reader and fan of comics since '74, but was out of the hobby due to monetary limitations just prior to this, and Image reinvigorating the industry (making Marvel and DC try to up their game, at least). Pretty exciting time.

That Treehouse of Horror issue looks interesting. My favorite from them in the 90s was the Radioactive Man series, parodying the history of superhero comics. It’s a solid, if less substantial, partner to the 1963 series... haven’t read it in a decade, so it might even be better than that

Thanks for bringing back my memories of Anti Gravity Room for this Nova Scotia boy!

I absolutely love these Wizard old mag review. Fantastic Nostalgia !!

Legion has one of the most legenedary fandoms in comics. it was the first silver age DC with real continuity. characters died and got hurt and resurrected,.

I have no idea how i got here my computer just didn't stop when i closed it.

I'm right in between your guys ages and I love the Legion, especially the 5YL era stuff in the mid 90s.

On the Amazing Art page you guys flipped past Jimmy Cheung's Magnus cover. No doubt this is the same Jim Cheung, also from England, working in comics today.

Chris Barclay no doubt. It also looks terrific

Jim Cheung checks in on the low in Amazing Art!👍

AGR!! anti gravity room, i remember that. needed more episodes before it went away.

I have zero recollection of the Anti-Gravity Room, and we got Sci-Fi Channel in the early '90s. Guess I missed their comic coverage, but them airing Robot Carnival, Lensman, and Vampire Hunter D got me into anime. So there's that.

Jae Lee took a hiatus after a few issues of Hellshock to rethink his art because he wasn't getting what he wanted on the page. He definitely came back stronger a few years later, and continues to evolve. I think he announced this in a later issue of Wizard. I remember being bummed out about it, I didn't see anything wrong with his art at the time.

Rob did a signing at my local comic shop, Zeus Comics, in Dallas at the beginning of the month. WELL over 300 people came out, it was the wildest signing I'd ever seen. The man still draws a crowd.

HOLY CRAP! A Wizard review on a Wednesday?!? YESS!!

I read that Hyperkind comic into the ground. It was a newsstand purchase and I couldn't get/ my newsstand didn't get the follow up issues. I was a true mark for a flashy cover

Great stuff

Wasn't the very first printing of Understanding Comics published as a Tundra book? I could swear it was. I upgraded to a HC copy to have signed by McCloud at the '94 Chicago Comicon, and gave my SC first print to someone else, but I recall just a twinge of regret in letting go of it because I liked seeing that Tundra logo on the spine!

Though, really, I suppose it wouldn't have mattered for Eastman at that point, as it took a few months for UC to really take off and become a phenomenon.

Awwwww yeah, my first issue of Wizard! My friend picked it up on the newsstand and traded me for an issue of Starlog.

Please give us that commentary on a Maxx episode. Great episode, brings me right back there

lol I loved anti gravity room. 👌

Fun fact: Before Anti-gravity room, the producers(I think) did another show called Prisoners of Gravity. I once knew a person who worked on both shows so I always had that connection in my head. You can view some of the episodes on youtube.

You are totally right about Legion. I'm around the same age as ;you guys and all of my older friends are into Superboy the Legion of Superheroes. I'm a late 80's to mid-90's kind of guy, so my only crossover there is L.E.G.I.O.N 89 ~94, which is a whole other can of worms. Lobo is on that team, so not exactly the Legion of Superheroes mode.

They used to shoot Anti-Gravity Room at YTV, which was located behind the old NELVANA Studios.. The animators would regularly jeer and punk DJ Phil when they'd see him out and about at Lunch hour. Thankfully, he had a lot of humility and a very self-deprecating sense of humor.. I still check out his instagram, when I need a laugh. instagram.com/pjfreshphil/

Jae Lee: Strikefile!

Ed's remembrance of the X-Men Sega game was 100% me at that age!

def do a commentary on a cartoon ep of Maxx

I have that gold Wildcats! Signed and everything!

I know there were a few issues of Comics Journal that discussed the Creators Right that Scott McCloud wrote. It would be great to see you guys dive into those specific issues. If there's anyway you could announce a week before which issue you will be covering, that would be fantastic. I'd love to dig into my back issue bins and read along with you if I have the issues.

Man, u talked about the Anti-Gravity Room tv show..have you ever seen a canadian show called Prisioners Of Gravity? Bunch of gems there; sienkiewicz( dressed like a Lost Boys movie character) Alan Moore and all that jazz. Awesome show.

I love some maxx

The Maxx is my favorite character along with Spiderman Batman and the Hulk.

@NickAmadeus on Twitter is one of the former hosts of Antigravity Room. He's a screenwriter now.

Deathmate Blue and Yellow are a defining color of dollar bin comics. Oceans of Blue and Yellow.

OMG...Ed...You are the only other person in the world that has spoken about THE ANTI-GRAVITY ROOM!!!! I loved that show. You can find a few episodes on KZread...Man!!!

ANTI GRAVITY ROOM - so few people know about that show, it literally changed my life as a cartoonist. Would LOVE to talk about it if you guys explore it further 👌

In the age of cheap decently powerful computers, free and open source modeling software, sites like thingiverse and 3d printers, making your own custom action figure has never been easier.

Could you gentlemen do Secret Wars?

Jae Lee was pretty hot at the time. He didn't reach the popularity of Stephen Platt (then) that the comics he worked on were suddenly in high demand in the after market simply because of the art. But he was still pretty popular nonetheless. In Wizard top 10 artist speak, he would be in the lower end of the top 10 or so for a while there. The thing is I remember liking his art, and then he seemed to vanish completely. I think the last work I remember from him at the time was his creator owned comic from Image: Hellshock. And then he seemingly leaves the comic industry alltogether, only to return for the Inhumans mini from Marvel Knights. So like a hiatus of 4 to 5 years or so (?)

There is some Anti Gravity Room on KZread.

loved that show! was one where Bruce TImm showed everyone how a comic was made. always stuck with me, letters on the board and everything! there are a bunch of episodes here: kzread.info/head/PL4l7T2nOTlu8zx0kNg2MJgkfRXOmJ-jAV

To answer about Jae Lee at the time - he was big, but mostly in hype. We were all hyped by that exact ad you are showing and had a few of his early Image books. We ate it up, but it didn't take long for us to completely forget about him honestly. He did awesome art and awesome pinups but we all lost interest in his actual books rather quickly.

I am a long time collector of Bongo Comics - if you were a fan of the Simpson/Futurama stuff they always produced - they used to get Aragones to do Bart Simpson stories that I loved. Also don't forget their more "adult" imprint with the Zongo line of comics that didn't last too long unfortunately.
