| 1. | LCS | ||

Abbreviation (usually used on the internet) for "local comic shop" - a comic book store one typically patronizes due to its convenient geographic proximity. Often referred to as "my LCS." I wish more of the guys at my LCS were crushworthy. As it is the clerk that spends most of his time there rattles on about Harry Potter and seems forever 37 going on 15. Not exactly the turn on.

Gah... idiots...
Anyway... Green Lantern... a comic book character created in 1940 by Sheldon Moldoff (I believe) for All American Comics. There have been three major Green Lanterns... the Golden Age GL, Alan Scott, the Silver Age GL, Hal Jordan, and the current Green Lantern, Kyle Rayner. Green Lantern is still published monthly by DC Comics (who acquired All American in the 40s) and can be found at your local comic shop or bookstore. |

"Whatever Happened to the Man of Tommorow?" is what "The Death of Superman" SHOULD have been. A gripping tale that doesn't just kill off Superman, but completes his story, puts and end to the mythology. It isn't just a marketing ploy, it's a grand finale to a great American legend. But it was written by Alan Moore, so what do you expect? How to be a Good-Boy comic nerd.
Step 1: Get out of bed, and put on your coolest superhero T-Shirt. Step 2: Go down to your local comic shop. Step 3: Find a copy of the "Death of Superman" story from the 90's in trade. Place it on a shelf in plain view of the entire store. Step 4: Face the trade, and promptly give it double birds as you shout "FUCK YOU!!!!" at the top of your lungs. Step 5: Place trade where you found it. Step 6: But a copy of "DC Universe: Tales of Alan Moore" containing "Whatever Happened to the Man of Tommorow?" |

My Chemical Romance (also known as My Chem, MCR and The Black Parade) is an American band that formed in 2001. The current members of the band are Gerard Way, Ray Toro, Frank Iero, Mikey Way, and Bob Bryar. Shortly after forming, the band signed to Eyeball Records and released their debut album I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love in 2002. They signed with Reprise Records the next year and released their major label debut Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge in 2004. The album was a major commercial success, selling over two million copies due in part to the success of the singles "Helena", "I'm Not Okay (I Promise)", and "The Ghost of You". The band followed this success with 2006's The Black Parade, featuring their biggest hit "Welcome to the Black Parade". While the band identifies their sound as simply "Rock", the subgenre of the band's recordings has been a subject of debate among fans and the media.

BIOGRAPHY: Early career (2001–2002) The band was formed by frontman Gerard Way and ex-drummer Matt Pelissier around a week after the September 11, 2001 attacks. Witnessing the planes crash into the World Trade Center influenced Way's life to the extent that he decided to start a band. Way wrote the song "Skylines and Turnstiles" to express his feelings about September 11th. Shortly thereafter, Ray Toro was called up and asked to join the band because at the time Way couldn't sing and play the guitar at the same time. The first recording sessions were done in Pe... |
