Fresh Eyes on Old Books #9 by Dan!
All right folks, it’s another dose of opinionated Silver/Bronze Age analysis. Let’s do this! Amazing Spider-Man #88 from 1970 I was a little disappointed in this issue. It was extremely misleading on the cover! Probably only half the book was actually Doc Ock’s phantom legs attacking random people. The rest was the usual Silver Age Spidey goodness.

I have decided to take a look at some good old fashioned Legion stories. To start off, this isn’t just the Legion of Super-Heroes. It, of course, involves Superboy well before he was Superman in a story that involved robots! Not much there content wise, but the Sun-Boy story was a really good one. Splitting this book into two stories both helps and hurts it. Everything happens nice and quickly, … Continue reading

My Top Five (The Five Best Comics of the Week) Batman And Robin #14 Writer: Grant Morrison Artist: Frazer Irving Do you ever get tired of me telling you just how awesome Batman and Robin is? Well I’m not sure I’ll be able to much longer with the changing creative team, so enjoy it while it lasts! This issue, things continue building to a head … Continue reading
