“Squadron Supreme” #11

By | Aug 18, 2022 | Reviews

As we dive into the penultimate issue of “Squadron Supreme,” I kind of regret not keeping a running total of Squadron members who left the team, either by death or choice. But turns out, I didn’t need to. Four members have resigned for moral reasons. Four members, including two rehabilitated (mechanically) villains, have died. And […]

“A-Next” #10

By | Aug 13, 2022 | Reviews

The late nineties of superhero comics have always been such a fascinating wild west to me. I know so little about this period that is building off the industry’s most significant recession. With so few eyes drawn to it, it’s ripe for uncovering fascinating hidden gems or unreadable stinkers. This year I’ve dug up the […]

By | Aug 12, 2022 | Reviews

I have to keep reminding myself that “Batman” #600 was published 20 years ago. 2002 just doesn’t feel like 20 years past. I wonder if 2002 readers felt the same way about 1982, which seems like a whole different era to me. Or if Batman in 2002 was so vastly different that it barely registered.

“Squadron Supreme” #10

By | Aug 11, 2022 | Reviews

How’s everyone doing after issue #10? Only mildly emotionally destroyed? Partially devastated? Coping well with the heartbreaking death of an under appreciated and put upon tech genius who got cancer while trying to help a friend not murder his family? Issue #9 was the worst gut punch in a series of ever increasing gut punches, […]
