Mercury Origin

Death Calls From The Grave All-Smash Funnies volume 2 #1

Page 2, Panel 6. Caption reads, "And as quickly as the form"
They, not the.

Page 4, Panel 3. The god Hermes says, "Beware of the dark soals"
Souls. (Well, it's not like he was the god of spelling... ;-)

The Black Rose is a pretty blatant Black Canary knock-off. What's odd is that it was apparently created in 1998, not the 1940s when Black Canary was having these types of adventures.

The Secret Of The Topaz Tiara! All-Smash Funnies volume 2 #1

Page 2, Panel 4. Black rose yanks Kerry up into a tree and Kerry says, "Oh, it's you roooops!!"
Wha... was he trying to say Rose and it morphed into oops? or did the letterer or typist missspell something?

Heads In Tales Megabook #1

Pages 4 & 5 are in the wrong order.


Catching Up

This appears to be the modern world, but a courier killing guys after her package and just leaving the bodies is apparently legal here.


Solomon Wyrd

Pages 2 & 3 are out of order.

Donna doesn't know what Solomon meant by an "ill wind" and wonders if it is an ancient blessing.
Huh? Even if she had, somehow, never heard the old saying about an ill wind, how could she think it could be a blessing. Heck, Solomon says, "Be careful tonight, Donna Taylor. As I said, an ill wind blows tonight. There is no telling what terrors might be wrought from it." How can you not see that he's warning you about possible trouble?


The Internauts---Into The Internet!!!

Inferno

Uhhhhhh... is this supposed to be a parody? The "heroes" chase after a "criminal" on the internet and he's "Changing pages. Re-writing history. The ripples of time spread outward creating havoc."
It sounds like some brain-damaged Wikipedia editor who's confusing what's written on the internet with reality.
Also the "heroes" are trying to stop the "criminal" from preventing the Hindenburg disaster and September 11.
Okayyyyyy...


Bombsight

Page 3, Panel 4. Caption reads, "Andover airbase. Ten kilometers outside of London."
Given that the story is set during WWII shouldn't that be in miles instead of kilometers?

Megabook #1 continued

Fuerza 7

Page 7. Mr. Minister says, "In the lockers you will fin your new combat outfits".
Find, not fin.

Lobogris looks and sounds like a Wolverine knockoff.

Page 20, Panel 1. Mr. Land says, "The chairman has uploaded everything you need to know to your sever."
I think he meant server.

The Monuments Men

The Portrait

Opening caption. "Thier mission"
Their not thier.

---

Rats

Okayyyyyy... WWI rats are feasting on the dead. A soldier pours gasoline over the field and lights it burning the rats, then a hole opens up and giant rats come out to eat the living.
What? There is no logical reason for giant rats to appear. What would giant, underground rats have to fear from ordinary rats?

Megabook #2

Chori Rider: First Ember

Feels like something is missing between the first and second page.


Note On A Contract Pending

Page 5, Panel 3. "And one, I believe that deserve to hear!"
Seems to be a missing 'you' there.

Page 6, Panel 2. The D from controlled is cut off.


Solomon Wyrd

Once More A Serpent Rises

The Great Serpent's two female "pets" are reptilian hominids with breasts.
Why? (Besides artistic fetish.)

Page 7, Panel 4. Solomon says, "Return from whence you came, vile creatures..."
Whence means from where.

Megabook #2 -(continued)

The Lake Monster

The guy's name is Kadan for the first two pages, but on pages 3 & 4 it becomes Kaydan.


Marco Alvarado

Untitled

Space pirates capture a spaceship by launching "anchors" on chains at it. They also cut into the ship with what looks like chainsaws.


By Keith Alan Morgan (Kmorgan) on Sunday, February 09, 2014 - 4:06 am:

Megabook #2 - (continued) Finally finished this 465 page monster.

Xeros

Page 3, Column 2, Paragraph 4. "Not one of them stopped to inspect the dying the man."
The second "the" should have been removed.


Catfight Sampler

When sixth grader Caitlyn Davis dreams she turns into the grown-up & scantily-clad Catfight.
And if that description doesn't sound the least bit creepy then something is wrong.

The artist (who's credit is missing) doesn't know how to draw sixth graders, which is a drawback when your two main characters are supposed to be such in their waking life. Basically he draws them with little bodies, but normal sized heads, which just looks weird.


Distant Fields

Page 10, Panel 1. "before him stood the spirit that had wrentched him from his own world"
Wrenched, not wrentched.

Throughout the story the protagonist has been seeing the ghost of a WWI soldier, who eventually pulls the protagonist back through time to the spot where his two brothers died. In the present he notifies authorities who find and identify the bodies and ship them home for burial. While watching the funeral the soldier's ghost comes to get the protagonist because he had actually died in the past and his bones were being buried as well.
Excuse me? How could they identify the bones of a man who hadn't been born yet? He wouldn't have had any dog tags and since he was taken after being awoken from a dream, it's unlikely he would have had any modern ID on him (which would have raised any number of questions). So how did the archeologists know his bones were those of an Englishman? (Frankly they should have just ended the story with the funeral and skipped the horror cliche ending.)


By Keith Alan Morgan (Kmorgan) on Monday, February 17, 2014 - 5:24 am:

Faith Stevens was asked by her boyfriend to marry him, little did she (or he) know that the ring was the halo of an Earth Angel and now she has the mission to heal the weak, bring miracles and restore mankind's faith in God all while wearing a skimpy little costume. This was one of Lightning Comic's (1990s company not 1960s) bad girl titles, not to be confused with a character of the same name from Buffy The Vampire Slayer.

Origin Of The Halo Faith #1 (reprint)

The credits list a colorist, but the reprint is black & white linework.

Page 1. "Her fingernails tear into the flesh of her steering wheel!"
Never heard of any part of a steering wheel described as "flesh".

Page 9, Panel 1. Faith says, "On a night is beautiful is this one?"
As not is.

Catfight: Escape From Limbo #1

In Catfight: Dream Warrior #1* Catfight's Protectious Flower ate Prince Nightmare. Here Princess Zoya wants Nightmare returned and she has Timmy's dream self hostage (Timmy's body is in a coma on Earth). Catfight brings her flower to Limbo and Zoya learns it will only obey Catfight, so she then starts telling a story of how the dream world had been split and how she and Nightmare were in love yadda yadda yadda...
Okay, if this was the truth (and the follow-up issue Catfight: Sweet Revenge #1 backs that up) why did Zoya act like a stereotypical villain in the first part of this story?

* Apparently the 1990s Lightning Comics decided to appeal to the collectors mindset by putting out first issues, even if the story continued, they'd just stick a subtitle on it and call it issue 1 (and the way Marvel & DC are going it's just a matter of time before they adopt this policy.)

Co-Op

Page 2. Caption reads, "By the year two thousand fifty ive".
Five not ive.

Page 5. Misspells facsimile as "fasimilie".

Page 13. Misspells medieval as "midevil".

"In a aftermath".
An aftermath.

"Everyone assumed the cockroaches would survive, why not other?"
Others, plural.

Page 15. "natures way".
Nature's way.

---

Monkey Boy

Page 2, Panel 3. "Don't worry we will let enough... to survive!"
Leave enough, not let.

Page 8, Panel 2. "...ups, not cool."
I think the writer meant 'oops'.

---

Drugbust

Page 4, Panel 6. "dumping dime bags of heroin on ther streets for prices as cheap as a pack of cigarettes!"
1. The streets, not "ther streets".
2. When is this story set if a pack of cigarettes can be considered cheap?

Page 6, Panel 6. "Hermmes tresmegistos"
Hermes Trismegistus.

Page 7, Panel 2. "posess... or are posessed"
Possess and possessed.

Page 9. Misspells genre as "genra".

---

Gatekeeper Chapter 1: The New Intern

Page 16. I'm not sure if this is a nit or not. The word balloons have no dialogue in them, but the context would seem to be that they are just having small talk of no importance to the story, so it's possible the word balloons were intentionally left blank to let the art & facial expressions carry the page.

---

Transient

Page 1, Panel 3. "No, this is I, I know it!"
This is it, not I.

---

Diver Down

Okayyyyy... a spaceship arrives at planetoid Alpha-Six-Seven and sends a diver down.
Apparently the planetoid is covered in water, but they don't actually state this. Also you'd think they'd send down teams and possibly submersibles rather than one guy in a bulky diver suit with an air hose.

He drops below the level where their cameras can record.
So why don't they just pull him back up?

Coincidentally he discovers a life form he thinks is beautiful (why he considers a 4-eyed manta ray beautiful... eh, guess he's been in space too long. ;-) and despite losing contact with the ship goes deeper to an unrevealed fate and the ship decides to cut its losses, declare the planetoid lifeless and move on to the next planetoid.
Wha...? ONE diver and that's your survey???

---

Decay

Page 1, Panel 3. "I await they're return."
Their, not "they're" which is short for they are.

Page 2, Panel 1. Misspells millennium as "millenium".

Page 2, Panel 2. "nor have I known a womans touch."
Woman's, not "womans"

Page 3, Panel 4. "Approved... computer shuting down."
Shutting, not "shuting".

---

Wargod

Page 1, Panel 1. "Its time to move the prisoner!"
It's or it is, not "Its".

---

Thrill Scarlet

The title has Thrill Scarlet as two words, but the story calls the man Thrillscarlet as one word.

Page 1, Column 1, Paragraph 5, Sentence 2. "She quickly picked herself and spun to see him."
I think there should have been an up after herself.

Page 1, Column 2, Paragraph 10, Sentence 1. "And just then a loud thud hit the back of the church's wooden door, she shook with a star."
I think that should be start.

Page 2, Column 1, Paragraph 3, Sentence 2. The typesetter has a paragraph break partway through the sentence.

Page 3, Column 1, Paragraph 9, Sentence 3. "In fact the windows on the top floor were wide and looked eyes and the columns just added to the creepy decor."
Looked like eyes, not looked eyes.

Page 3, Column 1, Paragraph 10, Sentence 1. "She felt a shudder as she drove her car up to intercom."
Up to THE intercom.

Page 3, Column 1, Paragraph 11, Sentence 1. When she made it to the top of the the driveway".
One The too many.

Page 3, Column 2, Paragraph 5, Sentence 2. "She overwhelmed by his handsomeness."
She WAS overwhelmed.

Page 4, Column 1, Paragraph 6, Sentence 2. "She wanted him to sink his teeth into her next."
Do I even need to point out the mistake here?

Page 7, Column 2, Paragraph 5, Sentence 3. Another paragraph break in the middle of a sentence.

Page 8, Column 1, Paragraph 12, Sentence 2. Another paragraph break in the middle of a sentence.

Page 8, Column 1, Paragraph 13, Sentence 2. "As the continued another few paces".
As THEY continued.

Page 9, Column 1, Paragraph 15, Sentence 1. "As she slowly made it to the, the knocking continued."
There's a missing door there.

Page 9, Column 2, Paragraph 8, Sentence 1. ""Y'know," he sad."
Said, not sad.

Kathleen

Page 3 comes before page 2.

Grimm Legacy #1

Page 2, Panel 1. "Another person was gone missing!"
Has not was, unless the writer was trying for a colorful dialect.

Page 15, Panel 4. "He dismounts the horse and walks over a tree.."
Now had the artist drawn the tree lying on the ground, okay, but since he didn't that should be 'walked over TO a tree" with either a period or an ellipse, not two dots.

Page 21, Panel 1. "It's hands are clawed and it swepes at him."
Sweeps.

Grimm Legacy #2

Page 1, Panel 3. "You owe me for running out of me."
Probably meant to be running out ON me.

Page 19, Panel 3. "Their are missing children".
There, not their.

---

Monuments Men

Oddly enough, this story isn't listed in the Table Of Contents.

Page 3, Panel 1. "Remember to objective, men."
Either 'Remember our objective' or 'Remember the objective'.
