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
Flash #275 – Reviews Of Old Comics
The death of Iris Allen, the Flash's wife, also known as Iris West, is a watershed moment in comics. While it may be an early case of "Women In Refrigerators," the death of his wife affected the flash for the next six years. It drove him to kill an enemy, which started his very last … Continue reading Flash #275 – Reviews Of Old Comics
OMAC #5 – Reviews of Old Comics
Jack Kirby was called the King for a reason. After leaving Marvel, he went to DC and in the space of four years, he drew an average of over two dozen pages of comics a day. He created two legendary mythologies, the New Gods and the Great Disaster. The Great Disaster consisted of Kamandi, and … Continue reading OMAC #5 – Reviews of Old Comics
Atari Force #1 – Reviews Of Old Comics
When I decided on this comic for review, I realized shortly thereafter that is was from the same year, and only a month away from the previous Reviews of Old Comics article. So what makes 1984 so ripe for memorable comics to review? Yes, I know that technically, this and the previous comics were actually … Continue reading Atari Force #1 – Reviews Of Old Comics
Shade The Changing Man #19 – Reviews Of Old Comics
This week I'm actually presenting a review especially for the holiday season. There was a time, in 1992, when I was really engrossed in the DC Heroes Role-Playing Game. I even subscribed to Mayfair Games' newsletter that about this time (as I recall, it could have been a later year) that among the new character … Continue reading Shade The Changing Man #19 – Reviews Of Old Comics
