Running a train on Lois Lane: Superman’s Girl Friend Lois Lane #29

Avengers/JLA #4 of 4 “The Brave... and the Bold”

Justice League of America #200 "A League Divided" (part 1 of 2)

Back in the early ’80s, my comic buying habits were a bit erratic. Other than X-Men, there weren’t a whole lot of titles I was steadfastly wedded to. However, I do remember really enjoying Justice League of America when…

A requiem for Zack Snyder’s vision

In the ever-escalating competition for the hearts and minds of fanboys, the summer blockbuster season has now extended well into the winter. First, Disney decided that Star Wars needed to be an annual Christmas tradition. And now, the DC Cinematic…

Will Justice League be new and fun, or just Batman v. Superman 2?

Don’t get me wrong, I want to see Justice League. I absolutely won't miss it. But the truth is I'd see Bridget Jones 4 if Batman showed up in it.
