WandaVision’s inspirations: 1985 to the present

So hopefully over the past couple of weeks, you read my articles regarding the two Vision and Scarlet Witch limited series that were published in 1982 and 1985. While I enjoyed the first series, I found the second series a…

WandaVision’s inspirations: Vision and the Scarlet Witch vol. 2 (1985)

Three years later… While I can’t fit three years of Marvel Comics history into such a short space, I can at least provide a bit of background to set the stage. Damn, all that fun-poking I was doing regarding Bill…

WandaVision’s inspirations: Vision and the Scarlet Witch vol. 1 (1982)

Avengers/JLA #2 of 4 “A Contest of Champions”

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…

Countdown to Infinity War: Revisiting Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015)

When one thinks about the Avengers, there are only a handful of villains that come to mind who can pose a true challenge. Loki was an excellent choice for the first film; he was known to people who saw Thor…

X-Men: Apocalypse (2016): Halfway to a good movie

“The characters are all well acted and mostly well written; it’s just a pity that they all got sidelined not just for an action-disaster movie, but for a boring action-disaster movie.”
