Heroes and Villains

Villain of the Week: Death for taking Alex Toth.

Hero: McFarlane Toys for its announced line of Lost action figures. Even if some of the character choices for the first series seem a bit odd, the idea is genius. I can't wait to get me a Sun figure with Real Garden Digging Action!

Hero: Dynamite Entertainment for republishing Tim Truman's Scout. Thanks to his new Conan gig, Truman's back in the spotlight and it's very cool that his classic work is available again for a new audience.

Villain: X-Men: The Last Stand for SPOILERSPOILERSPOILERSPOILERSPOILER.

Hero: X-Men: The Last Stand for giving credits-watchers something to stick around for.

Hero: Dynamite again for putting its money where its mouth is. The publisher's announced that if Xena #1 doesn't ship in the month of July, it'll be free. After the timeliness problems of Red Sonja, it's a good, bold move.
