Wonder Woman #1 (1987): Gods and Mortals (part 1 of 7)

Back in the mid-to-late ’80s, there were some changes afoot in regards to my comic buying habits. I was growing more and more disillusioned with X-Men and Marvel in general, while at the same time some exciting things were going…

Superman: Red Son #3 of 3 “Red Son Setting”

Remember how last time I praised that opening for issue #2? As a Dark Lord of the Sith once said: Impressive. Most impressive. It’s the 21st century and Superman has celebrated his 63rd birthday. Brainiac has told him almost six…

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…

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

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…

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…

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