LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES #310 April 1984 It's been awhile since I continued these sequential reviews of old Legion comics from the 1980s. This was an especially hard storyline to get through, but let's save that for the review, shall we? SYNOPSIS: Omen has arrived on Khundia after the Legion has defeated his Prophet, but only with … Continue reading Reviews of Old Comics: Legion of Super-Heroes #310

Reviews of Old Comics: Zero Hour #0
Zero Hour #0 September 1994 The 1990s was a boom time for the comics industry. Comics sales were regularly in the hundreds of thousands, spurred on by a speculator market that had come from the sports card market looking for cheap investments to turn into large returns. With high profits and a plethora of talent, the era should … Continue reading Reviews of Old Comics: Zero Hour #0
Reviews of Old Comics: Adventure Comics #342
Adventure Comics #342 March 1966 In Reviews of Old Comics, I've made a habit of reviewing comics from the 80's and 90's but I decided that I wanted to review an issue with more vintage, and decide to go with one I remember very fondly, where the Legion actually expels a member for SYNOPSIS: At Legion HQ, … Continue reading Reviews of Old Comics: Adventure Comics #342

LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES #309 March 1984 I'm picking back up my reviews of old Legion comics from the period that I started regularly buying Legion of Super-Heroes. I held off to avoid getting into a rut, but let's pick back up where we left off, in the middle of the Omen/Prophet story line, which had good intentions, but … Continue reading Reviews of Old Comics: Legion of Super-Heroes #309
Reviews of Old Comics: Crisis on Infinite Earths #11
CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS #11 March 1985 I've been very critical of the New 52. A lot of critics have been very quick to call it a disaster. To their credit, DC is sticking to its guns and standing behind a rewriting of the history of the DC Universe, throwing out a lot of continuity. I'm not … Continue reading Reviews of Old Comics: Crisis on Infinite Earths #11
Reviews of Old Comics: Saga of the Swamp Thing #34
SAGA OF THE SWAMP THING #34 March 1985 For many fans my age, we grew up with the writing of Alan Moore. By "growing up" I mean that we literally learned of a new type of storytelling in comics from what he wrote for DC. Watchmen was a lot of people's introduction to his work, but … Continue reading Reviews of Old Comics: Saga of the Swamp Thing #34

DC COMICS PRESENTS #87 November 1985 For this review, I selected a comic at random, to avoid a pattern developing in my reviews. Which brings us to the last year of DC Comics Presents, where the title crossed over with Crisis on Infinite Earths. DC was in the midst of changing their multiverse forever, and … Continue reading Reviews of Old Comics: DC Comics Presents #87

TALES OF THE TEEN TITANS #50 February 1985 I know this column is turning into an episode of "I love the 80's" but this was my childhood and so much of that decade was just plain good comics, and for the past 15 years, it seems that Marvel and DC keep going back to the … Continue reading Reviews of Old Comics: Tales of the Teen Titans #50

LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES #308 February 1984 I'm continuing my reviews of old Legion comics from the period that I started regularly buying Legion of Super-Heroes. This was a string of a few issues that fell a little flat, but the momentum was fortunately strong enough to lead into Volume 3, the Baxter series, which had a … Continue reading Reviews of Old Comics: Legion of Super-Heroes 308
