Deadpool #1 August 1993 Deadpool has taken over the web site, so I feel compelled to review at least one Deadpool comic. I have to admit, I've never really liked the character. He doesn't seem to have a direction and the humor I've seen is a little too random, and scattershot. Naturally, since I don't … Continue reading Reviews of Old Comics: Deadpool #1
Reviews of Old Comics: Samuree #1
SAMUREE #1 May 1987 Writer: Neal Adams Pencils: Mark Beachum Inks: Ian Akin & Brian Garvey Colors: Liz Berube Letters: Ken Bruzenak Lately I've been on a run of reviewing DC Comics. So I went through my comics looking for something to review that wasn't by DC. My last comic was one of the best … Continue reading Reviews of Old Comics: Samuree #1
Reviews of Old Comics: Watchmen #1
WATCHMEN #1 September 1986 Watchmen is considered to be one of, if not the best comics of all time. However, it gets seen in today's light as a complete story. A new or casual reader of comics could forget very easily that Watchmen was published in twelve, monthly installments. Since I started reviewing old comics, … Continue reading Reviews of Old Comics: Watchmen #1
Reviews of Old Comics: Legion of Super-Heroes #306
LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES #306 December 1983 One of the best costumes in comics has to be Star Boy of the Legion. You know that I'm not referring to his purple and white Silver Age costume, either. The costume I'm referring to is the star field costume with white gloves and boots. Alex Ross kept it … Continue reading Reviews of Old Comics: Legion of Super-Heroes #306

I'm reposting it here to make this website the repository for all of my reviews. It has been updated to be as current as possible.

Reviews of Old Comics: Twilight #1
TWILIGHT #1 (December) 1990 Twilight #1 was a prestige format book, the first in a series of three books by author Howard Chaykin, famous for the 80s independent comic American Flagg, and Jose Luis Garcia-Lopez, who'd done a lot of work for DC over the course of the 1980s, even having the mass-marketed Superman image for … Continue reading Reviews of Old Comics: Twilight #1
Reviews of Old Comics: Namor the Sub-Mariner #8
NAMOR THE SUB MARINER #8 February 1990 Right after High School, I was big into John Byrne. It was a good time to be into John Byrne, too. He had produced Omac for the DC, West Coast Avengers, Sensational She-Hulk, Next Men and of course, Namor, the Sub-Mariner. Of course he didn't do them in … Continue reading Reviews of Old Comics: Namor the Sub-Mariner #8

LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES #305 November 1983 NOTE: This is a update of one of my reviews of old comics from a blogger account I set up some time ago. I'm reposting it here to make for a continuation of Legion comics reviewed in order.

Reviews of Old Comics: Legion of Super-Heroes #304
LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES #304 October 1983 This issue was my first regular issue of the Legion that I bought, so it's stuck with me. It seems really odd since there's very little actual focus on the Legion. SYNOPSIS: Bouncing Boy and Duo Damsel resume their teaching at the Legion Academy, and notify the students that … Continue reading Reviews of Old Comics: Legion of Super-Heroes #304
Reviews of Old Comics: Spider-Woman #5
SPIDER-WOMAN #5 August 1979 Looking back at the few reviews I've done so far, I really haven't had one that was a bad comic. I set out to have one this time and I looked for something that would be that fodder. Enter, a 1970s Spider-Woman comic. SYNOPSIS: Spider-Woman wakes up bound and gagged in a dusty, … Continue reading Reviews of Old Comics: Spider-Woman #5
