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

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
Proposition Player #5 – Reviews of Old Comics
I hadn't intended following up Pantheon #3 with another Bill Willingham comic. However, the rumors of Vertigo's demise got me thinking about a mini-series that came out just before Fables started. It was an idea that came out of Willingham's time as a poker player for a casino. Casinos have players that fill seats at … Continue reading Proposition Player #5 – 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. The whole thing goes on for quite a long period of time, … Continue reading Flash #323 – Reviews Of Old Comics
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
Tales Of The Legion #318 – Reviews of Old Comics
We're back to the Legion of Super-Heroes stories that hooked me in the 1980's. With the story of the Legion of Super-Villains pretty much finished, we're shifting our view over to the newsstand title, Tales of the Legion. To be honest, I wasn't reading the Baxter title at the time this issue was published. I … Continue reading Tales Of The Legion #318 – Reviews of Old Comics
Batman And The Outsiders #22 – Reviews of Old Comics
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
