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
The Eternals #1 – Reviews Of Old Comics
It's really sad when I want to review an old Marvel comic like The Eternals and I can't use my Marvel Unlimited membership. I wanted to review this from the first time I read it and saw that it drew inspiration from Erich von Däniken's book Chariots of the Gods. I don't buy the "ancient astronauts" … Continue reading The Eternals #1 – Reviews Of Old Comics
The Walking Dead #1 – Reviews Of Old Comics
With this column, I try to highlight comics before the year 2000. I also try to switch up the comics I review in a order by publisher, DC, Marvel, and Independents. Of course, I throw Legion comics in there at roughly every fourth review because I'm a huge Legion fan. I wanted to tell you … Continue reading The Walking Dead #1 – Reviews Of Old Comics
Tales Of The Legion Of Super-Heroes #317 – Reviews Of Old Comics
We're back to following the period of Legion history that I got really hooked on the Legion. The book got split between two titles, the original newsstand title, renamed Tales of the Legion and the new Legion of Super-Heroes title that was part of DC's line printed just for comic shops on premium Baxter paper … Continue reading Tales Of The Legion Of Super-Heroes #317 – 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
Strangers In Paradise #27 – Reviews Of Old Comics
I really don't know why I haven't done an issue of Strangers In Paradise here. Terry Moore's series is an excellent example of long form storytelling. He also worked in morality lessons along the way of telling a compelling same-sex love story. He had characters develop and grow past their original, one-line descriptions they first … Continue reading Strangers In Paradise #27 – Reviews Of Old Comics
Avengers West Coast #56 – Reviews Of Old Comics
Watching Avengers: Infinity War, I was taken with how powerful the Scarlet Witch was portrayed. This was a character shown to be powerful enough to shatter an Infinity Stone. Given that in the past two films that she's appeared in, her powers have been shown to be primarily telekinetic and mildly telepathic, but not so … Continue reading Avengers West Coast #56 – Reviews Of Old Comics
Tales Of The Legion #316 – Reviews of Old Comics
I was going to review Tales of the Legion #316 a month or so ago, but then realized I would have been jumping the gun on it, since Legion of Super-Heroes #3 comes before it chronologically. If I wanted to continue reviewing the Legion from the point I really became a fan, then it would … Continue reading Tales Of The Legion #316 – Reviews of Old Comics
Magnus Robot Fighter #6 – Reviews Of Old Comics
I was thinking of what old comic to review next and arrived here at Magnus Robot Fighter. I'm not sure exactly how I got here, but somehow I was thinking of something neat that Valiant did with the future world of Magnus. Magnus is a Gold Key character that Valiant got the rights to, including … Continue reading Magnus Robot Fighter #6 – Reviews Of Old Comics
