Captain America #288 “Mazes!” The Deathlok saga (part 3 of 4)
Part three of our story opens with Captain America wandering through the bombed out remains of New York City, circa 1993…Waitaminute. Lemme go back and check issue #286… Ah-ha! It was originally 1991! So was Godwulf chilling in that subway…
Captain America #287 “Future Shock!” The Deathlok saga (part 2 of 4)
Last issue had Captain America dealing with the problems of breaking in a new sidekick and the inner angst of being Steve Rogers, but then he got to ignore all that stuff when he met the clone of Luther Manning,…

Captain America #286 “One Man in Search of... Himself!” The Deathlok saga (part 1 of 4)
With the Halloween holiday upon us, I was wondering what comic I should review. I’ve already looked at Swamp Thing, and Man-Thing seemed a little obvious. I was never a fan of Marvel’s Dracula, and never read Werewolf by Night…
Batman #429 “A Death in the Family” (part 4 of 4)
We last saw our heroes, they were confronted by the Joker, now ambassador of Iran to the United Nations. The final part of our story opens with Batman and Superman in a dark room with CIA agent Ralph Bundy, who…
Batman #428 “A Death in the Family” (part 3 of 4)
In part two of “Death in the Family”, the Joker blew up a warehouse with Jason Todd inside and DC left it up to us to decide if he would live or die. Part three opens with Batman stumbling through…
Batman #427 “A Death in the Family” (part 2 of 4)
Last time, in a story jam-packed full of coincidences, Jason Todd, the least popular Robin, discovered his dead mom was not his biological mom. He went on a quest to find her and he and Batman wound up in the…
Batman #426 “A Death in the Family” (part 1 of 4)
DC Comics post-Crisis on Infinite Earths was a weird time. Initially, me and everybody I know who read that epic considered it one of the best stories ever printed. George Perez’s art was top notch as usual, and the…
Avengers/JLA #4 of 4 “The Brave... and the Bold”
Our story opens with a series of viewscreens showing calamity and disaster as a universe dies, as someone monologues about the end of this reality while we see a nebulous face that calls itself the “sentience of the universe”. It…
JLA/Avengers #3 of 4 “Strange Adventures”
It’s another amazing cover from George this time, with an honest attempt to get every single JLAer and Avenger on it. I mean, he has both Crimson Foxes on this thing! If he missed anybody, it must have been a…
Avengers/JLA #2 of 4 “A Contest of Champions”
So before we jump into the game, I just have to break down this cover.
It’s a fantastic work, and it’s great to see the one, true Captain Marvel featured on the front. Although I do have an issue with…
JLA/Avengers #1 of 4 “A Journey into Mystery”
X-Men/Teen Titans was the first DC/Marvel crossover story I ever bought. The stories published during the ’70s came out before I was buying comics, and I suppose when reprints were available they looked a little to, uh, Silver Age for…
Marvel and DC Present The Uncanny X-Men and The New Teen Titans (part 2 of 2)
When we last left our tale, our titanically uncanny heroes, um, lost. Right. Moving on.
We cut to… the Wall.
Not that wall. This Wall.
Remember what I said last time about Simonson being Kirby’s spiritual successor? Well, here you…
Marvel and DC Present The Uncanny X-Men and The New Teen Titans (part 1 of 2)
You know what we haven’t seen in a long while? A crossover event between DC and Marvel. I’m not saying it was ever a common occurrence, but does anyone remember All Access, or DC vs. Marvel? Or smaller…
Marvel Fanfare #13 “Black Widow, Web of Intrigue” (part 4 of 4)
As we take a look at the final installment of this four-part story, I want to take a moment to mention the cover art. For me, the cover should imply the action that will take place in the comic, and…
Marvel Fanfare #12 “Black Widow, Web of Intrigue” (part 3 of 4)
So I read the article over at Inverse regarding the Black Widow movie’s screenwriter, Jac Schaeffer, and I dunno. Some of what she says I agree with, such as not adhering slavishly to canon. It worked for Thor, for example;…
Marvel Fanfare #11 “Black Widow, Web of Intrigue” (part 2 of 4)
Before we get into this week’s recap, I just wanted to talk about the format of Marvel Fanfare back in 1982. Most if not all issues ran more than one story, and also often contained full page pin-ups from different…
Marvel Fanfare #10 “Black Widow, Web of Intrigue” (part 1 of 4)
So the San Diego Comic-Con has come and gone, and the first thing that struck me was how nobody I’m following on Twitter, none of my Facebook friends, and none of the “news media” hyped up anything related to actual…
Justice League of America #200 "A League Divided" (part 2 of 2)
Previously in part one, we had a recap of how the Justice League was formed after they defeated seven alien combatants who came to Earth to fight for the rulership of another world. The seven Kryptonite meteors they arrived in…
