Star Trek (TAS) “More Tribbles, More Troubles”

It’s hard to believe, but for some reason our host Dr. Winston O’Boogie and I never got around to recapping the last two Star Trek (the animated series) episodes. And given that two new animated Short Treks episodes are premiering…

The 10 best comics maxi-series (part 1 of 3)

So a few things are going on right now. HBO is airing the sequel series to the Watchmen comic; the CW is airing their five-part crossover event “Crisis on Infinite Earths”, which looks so intriguing I feel I might have…

10 female-led action movies that prove Elizabeth Banks is wrong

A couple of Fridays ago, the latest reboot of Charlie’s Angels was released, and to no one’s surprise, including director/writer/supporting actor Elizabeth Banks, it bombed. Hard. No one was asking for another Charlie’s Angels and I have no clue how…

Captain America #289 “Tomorrow, the World?” The Deathlok saga (part 4 of 4)

It’s weird, but when I picked the Deathlok Saga to review, the only thing on my mind had been the fact that the titular character was essentially an animated corpse; Halloween was the only thing on my mind. Then someone…

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)

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…
