Reviews of Old Comics: Legion of Super-Heroes #309
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

Which brings us to the last year of DC Comics Presents, where the title crossed over with Crisis on Infinite Earths.

Reviews of Old Comics: Tales of the Teen Titans #50
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

LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES #307 January 1984 I'm continuing my reviews of old Legion comics from the period that I started regularly buying Legion of Super-Heroes. This was also the time I started really collecting comics, so I think it's a great starting point for learning what good comics really are. However, it didn't always hit … Continue reading Reviews of Old Comics: Legion of Super-Heroes #307
