Swamp Thing #59: “Reunion”
Posted by: Preston Wheatley on: March 17, 2012
There are several things both notable and fascinating about this issue of the Swamp Thing. First and foremost, this story is unbelievably fucked up. Modern comics deliver sick, twisted, graphic gore and horror but seldom dig into emotional turmoil this deep. WARNING: SPOILER ALERT Part 1: Abby’s Past Tragedies Abby Cable is already a tormented [...]

Posted by: Preston Wheatley on: March 11, 2012
Hi ho, happy readers it’s Jonny here! Who even writes for this blog anymore? Certainly not us! Anyway, I just read a magnificent issue of Swamp Thing from the year 1996! Clinton was in office and Dole wanted to oust him. Newt Gingrich had signed some weird “Contract with America” and the world of American politics [...]
The Bronze Age: Marvel & Radical Christianity
Posted by: Preston Wheatley on: September 1, 2011
Today’s post gives me the opportunity to introduce a new category for Bronze Age comics I’ve called: “Love for the Bronzer”. You may not realize this, but Dr. Strange and the Man-Thing have have something in common: murderous Christians hate them. I suppose in Strange’s case it makes a bit of sense. Since the Julio [...]

Hello, Readers! Jonny here.

Planet Comics started in January of 1940 as a monthly magazine collecting, [...]

Oh fuck my life, I don’t even know where to start. Howard the Duck comics are meant to be absurd, but this is just ridiculous. Last week, I recapped the first half of 1996′s Spider-Man Team Up #5, featuring Gambit. This week, I’m here to guide you through the insanity that was Spider-Man’s team-up with [...]

Whoa. Ok, so I have this Spider-Man/Gambit/Howard the Duck team-up book that I picked up a Goodwill. (Someone’s ex-girlfriend or mom got some serious revenge, the pile of comics also had 2 near mint Watchmen #1s, a bunch of Akira including issue #1, and all four Miracleman trades PLUS the Neil Gaiman uncollected issues. For [...]
