It's amazing whenever you see Batman go into cosmic or science fiction stories. That's not to say that it's necessarily bad, because sometimes it's really good. It shows the strengths of the character. In the Justice League, we often see Batman in situations that he should not be suited for. Somehow, he manages to show … Continue reading Batman And The Outsiders #22 – Reviews of Old Comics

Legion of Super-Heroes #38 – Reviews of Old Comics
I've had a rough couple of weeks. The thing is that comic book creators have given me some lessons that help me cope with rough times like this. A professional might take issue (no pun intended) with some of these lessons, but they're what gets me to the next stage of dealing with rough patches. … Continue reading Legion of Super-Heroes #38 – Reviews of Old Comics
Final Night Preview – Reviews of Old Comics
I can here you now, "You're reviewing an eight page preview comic? You're getting really lazy. You just hate writing synopses." First, kudos to you for knowing that "synopses" is the correct plural of synopsis. Second, yes writing the synopsis for a Review of Old Comics is the hardest part of writing this column. That … Continue reading Final Night Preview – Reviews of Old Comics
Legion Of Super-Heroes #5 – Reviews Of Old Comics
When last we covered the Legion of Super-Heroes that hooked me in the 1980's, Karate Kid heroically sacrificed himself to try to stop the Legion of Super-Villains. In this issue, we finally see how that went. However, given that Orando, the home world of his wife, Projectra, has been taken to a limbo between universes … Continue reading Legion Of Super-Heroes #5 – Reviews Of Old Comics
Tales Of The Teen Titans #42 – Review Of Old Comics
Last time, I reviewed an early issue of New Teen Titans. In it, I remarked about some changes George Pérez made over the years. I decided that rather than letting those lie, I would go and see if I was remembering right. (SPOILER: not entirely) The biggest difference is in the Inker. Dick Giordano inks George Pérez in … Continue reading Tales Of The Teen Titans #42 – Review Of Old Comics
New Teen Titans #2 – Reviews of Old Comics
The big release this month, at least where comics are concerned, was the launch of DC Universe. DC Universe is a streaming service hyped for its inclusion of lots of television and movies. Also included is a fair library of DC comic books going back to Action Comics #1. I like this inclusion, and it's … Continue reading New Teen Titans #2 – Reviews of Old Comics
Legion of Super-Heroes #4 – Reviews of Old Comics
As I've said before, I've tried to keep a pattern to Reviews of Old Comics, but the last attempt to write a DC review that wasn't the Legion was so daunting that it delayed the schedule for three weeks. For me to write these regularly, and have something every week, especially for Patreon supporters, it … Continue reading Legion of Super-Heroes #4 – Reviews of Old Comics
New Teen Titans #34 – Reviews Of Old Comics
Before I settled on this story of Terra betraying the Teen Titans, I really struggled figuring out what DC Comic to review this time around. My first choice was the infamous Superman's Girl Friend Lois Lane #106. My wife wanted me to review something from the Golden Age, perhaps even the very first DC Comic. … Continue reading New Teen Titans #34 – Reviews Of Old Comics
L.E.G.I.O.N. ’89 #7 – Reviews Of Old Comics
TRIGGER WARNING: This comic features content that may be distressing to people sensitive to the subject of sexual assault. It's amazing what a difference time makes with comic book stories. As a Legion fan, I picked up L.E.G.I.O.N. for it's links to the 30th century. It had to fight against the perception of being the … Continue reading L.E.G.I.O.N. ’89 #7 – Reviews Of Old Comics
Tales Of The Legion #316 – Reviews of Old Comics
I was going to review Tales of the Legion #316 a month or so ago, but then realized I would have been jumping the gun on it, since Legion of Super-Heroes #3 comes before it chronologically. If I wanted to continue reviewing the Legion from the point I really became a fan, then it would … Continue reading Tales Of The Legion #316 – Reviews of Old Comics
