Heroes Reborn is a punchline, but the reason it happened and the dirty little secret of 90s Marvel is that the HR books were no worse than the longtime books they were relaunched from (with the...

I know Waid’s Threeboot isn’t the most popular run, but I would easily take it over Bendis’ first 12 issues. Beautiful art in both series, but Waid’s is far more coherent, imo.

Azz’s run is the only time I’ve ever collected WW. I’ve just never been interested in reading her solo, but I couldn’t turn down an Azz/Cliff Chiang pairing. So with literally nothing to compare it...

Think I’d rather Kyle Rayner hang out in limbo than Scott Lobdell get his hands on him.

I re-read NTT/New Titans in its entirety during quarantine. I agree with the posts above — NTT stopped being special after Perez left; it was alright through the Wildebeest storyline, imo, but the...

Just finished reading 5YL for the first time. I’m a Zero Hero Legion guy who had read some classic Legion via the Showcase editions, the two Superboy & the LoSH volumes, and the Great Darkness/the...

The Kyle Rayner and the ZH Legion cancellations after two books each killed me.

I didn’t know this existed, and now it must be mine.

Al Ewing would be the incredible home run hire DC thought/hoped they were getting with Bendis.

While I don’t think we’ll ever get this fully collected in standard trades, I’m holding out hope we might get a two compendium set that collect the whole series... one day. Seems like a more...

It was pretty, but I thought the story was pretty dumb. I had a tough time getting through it, and I’ve never been able to revisit.

Fill-in creative teams. If I remember correctly, they were all rather forgettable.

Thoughts on the post-Superboy, pre-Great Darkness Saga Legion?

I was born in 85 so I’m a “discovering the classic Legion decades late” reader, mostly in trades. I got the two Superboy and the LoSH...

I’ve never read a bad Mark Russell comic. I was really hoping he’d get something — holding out hope for a surprise in next month’s solicits.

Justice League’s gonna spend nine issues fighting Rogol Zaar.

I had assumed this was another “central figure from Bruce’s past whom we’ve never met but will now be a major villain,” so I appreciate the variation. I’m also a fan of non-asshole Batman, so him...

I need my weekly fix so I’ll by new stuff digitally. Stuff I love I’ll later nab as an omnibus or deluxe edition if possible.

Morrison gets my vote, but I concede my age plays a big role there — in the comics, my first real taste of the JL was when they got roughed up by Doomsday, and I spent the first several years as a...

I think Johns’ Shazam was the first time I’ve ever read his solo title — with the exception of an issue or two as part of a crossover (Starman and Ordway’s Power of Shazam, 20+ years ago). So, coming...

I haven’t read it since the 90s and it may very well be a product of its time, but teenage 90s me loved it. At least the first few years.

Generation X??

:: heavy breathing ::

JLA by Grant Morrison and the Road to No Man’s Land omnis arrived today. Whoo boy, these things are chunks. I’ve got the trades for both, so I think I’m going to treat these as shelf decorations...

Yeah, Hal Jordan & the GLC was solid, and a big improvement over Venditti’s previous run.

I love Sam Humphries’ Green Lanterns. I thought the Tim Seely run that followed was a big step down, and I...

I’m going to disagree strongly with the notion that Ewing’s lofty praise is due to being the hot new thing on everybody’s mind. I’m not going to claim I’ve read every Hulk comic ever — but I’ve read...

I liked the lead-up to the mini-series — the Leviathan Rising arc in Action, and that oversized Leviathan Rising one-shot — far more than the mini-series itself.
