It’s time for another long overdue entry in my Bizarre Silver Age Comics series, and this time around I’ve got something special on tap: One of the first comic books that inspired the famous Superdickery meme, long before “memes” were…
Last week, multiple prologues had villains Lex Luthor and Doctor Octopus thwarted by our heroes, Superman and Spider-Man respectively. As Clark Kent and Peter Parker went off to attend a (yawn) news convention, Luthor and Ock met in prison and…
When I looked at the X-Men/Teen Titans team-up, I had said all the crossovers done before had felt like gimmicks. But after I had said that, I wondered if perhaps I had been, well, unfair. After all, it had been…
