Fresh Eyes on Old Books #17 by Dan!
It’s Sunday folks, so it’s time for more of those reviews you love to read! Let’s do this! Avengers #100 from 1972 It’s an anniversary issue, and they go with a one-shot story with style. Everybody on the cover shows up and some others make appearances as well. It’s a pretty ridiculous issue, with Roy Thomas cramming as many people and backstory and fighting in it as humanly possible. It was a fun read, with Thomas giving all the characters a distinct voice. Barry Windsor-Smith draws the hell out of it. In this story, all the Avengers (current and former) … Continue reading

He’s abandoned his family and kingdom to try to reconnect with the … Continue reading

Fresh Eyes on Old Books #4 by Dan!
The emmy goes to… Top Chef! And no one really cares. Dan talks about old comics… and everyone cares! Batman #126 from 1959. Immediately I want to point out that Hawaii wasn’t a state when this came out, and they have a whole section discussing all 49 states, which is AWESOME. Also, Robin uses the bat-plane to blast exhaust into a bad guys face just to disable him. All this happens before Batman and Robin fight the giant Kodiak Bear. Add in some “native eskimo tongue” and you’ll slowly start to realize how awesome this all is. And that’s just … Continue reading
