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
Uncanny X-Men #257 – Reviews Of Old Comics
I bought myself a membership to Marvel Unlimited Plus, a neat service Marvel offers where you can catch up on the history of the Avengers, Spider-Man, the X-Men and the like. I like the idea of reading old comics whenever the urge hits me. Thus, I decided to use this gift to do a Review … Continue reading Uncanny X-Men #257 – Reviews Of Old Comics
Legion of Super-Heroes #3 – Reviews Of Old Comics
Before I get started, I need to make an admission. I was going to make my next Legion review Tales of the Legion #316. However in reading, I realized that I was skipping an issue. I'll certainly be happy when I get to the end of this year they published two Legion books every month. … Continue reading Legion of Super-Heroes #3 – Reviews Of Old Comics
Beauty And The Beast #2 -Reviews Of Old Comics
The urge hits me every so often to revisit Dazzler's comics from the 1980s. She's just one of those characters that never quite got to see her full potential realized. There never really seemed to be a mandate on what type of stories she should have. She was a super-hero, but a reluctant one. She … Continue reading Beauty And The Beast #2 -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
Wanted #1 – Reviews Of Old Comics
There's always this fear when I hear that a comic book is getting turned into a television series or a movie. I understand that some liberties need to be taken and there needs to be some diverting from the source material. If every comic book movie were a straight up point-by-point recreation of a comic … Continue reading Wanted #1 – Reviews Of Old Comics
Bucky O’Hare #1 – Reviews of Old Comics
Needing an independent comic to review, I found inspiration in Boss Fight Studio's line of Bucky O'Hare figures. I have absolutely no background in reading these comics, although I remember them being advertised and perhaps even seeing them on a spinner rack, however, this period saw me getting most of my comics from a comics shop, … Continue reading Bucky O’Hare #1 – Reviews of Old Comics
West Coast Avengers #46 – Reviews Of Old Comics
I was going to continue on the the mid-80s frenzy that I was in, visiting the dawn of the West Coast Avengers, but in looking at the series, I wanted to hit where the series had its greatest impact. The mini-series was not that point, and in the series itself, the high points seemed to coincide … Continue reading West Coast Avengers #46 – 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
Fantastic Four #263-264 – Reviews Of Old Comics
It's a TWO-FER! For my first Review of Old Comics for the year, I'm going with two comics my wife gave me this last Christmas. To be honest, I got the comics about a month ago in a special sale at Heroes Aren't To Find, a shop that we've talked about here before. She forbade … Continue reading Fantastic Four #263-264 – Reviews Of Old Comics
