I've been meaning to do this one for a while. First, my pointless boycott of John Byrne's work got in the way, but now that we're past that, I think I can review a John Byrne comic that's out of print. I had actually been hoping for it to be included on DC Universe. They've … Continue reading OMAC: One Man Army Corps #1 – Reviews Of Old Comics

With a new Legion of Super-Heroes series launching the week that I'm writing this, it seems like a perfect time to revisit one of my favorite Legion stories of all time, Legion Lost. I like it so much that it would be my pick for a Legion film adaptation. I'll come back to that. As … Continue reading Legion Lost #1 – Reviews Of Old Comics
All-Star Squadron #18 – Reviews Of Old Comics
There are moments in comics history that simply cannot be believed. Roy Thomas seems to know all of them. He ended up putting half of them into All-Star Squadron. I discovered All-Star Squadron about mid-way through the run. I had to go back and find back issues, which was a little daunting, considering that this … Continue reading All-Star Squadron #18 – Reviews Of Old Comics

Superman & Batman: Generations #1 – Reviews Of Old Comics
My fascination with a multiverse hasn't been to the forefront in a while. However, in going back over my coverage of the Multiversity Guidebook, I was really fond of Earth-38. That Earth is based entirely on the series of Elseworlds series Superman & Batman: Generations. The premise of the series is that Superman and Batman … Continue reading Superman & Batman: Generations #1 – Reviews Of Old Comics
Legion Lost #11 – Reviews Of Old Comics
I was at HeroesCon last weekend and got to sit in on a great panel discussion about the Legion of Super-Heroes with three artists that worked on the Legion, Joe Staton, Greg LaRocque and Keith Giffen. I got the opportunity to pose a brief question to the three of them. So, I asked, "Other than … Continue reading Legion Lost #11 – Reviews Of Old Comics
Flash #323 – Reviews Of Old Comics
I was at my local library when I spotted the Essentials collection of The Trial Of The Flash. I remember picking up a few issues of this story when it first came out, but never read the entire run from beginning to end.

World Of Krypton #1 – Reviews Of Old Comics
It's odd for me to get surprised by an old comic book. I tend to remember what comics were good, especially when it comes to legendary artists. I had completely forgotten that World of Krypton was drawn by Mike Mignola. Of course, this was a period in my life when I wasn't buying comics regularly. … Continue reading World Of Krypton #1 – Reviews Of Old Comics
