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…
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…
