I love the Legion of Superheroes. I could — and probably will — write endless posts about how much the Legion has meant to me over the years. I could write about how fascinated I was when I first read about them, how hunting down back issues was so much fun, how fan fic filled…… Continue reading The New Legion Isn’t Working
Category: Opinions on Comic Books
Opinions on Comic Books features crazy ranting on comic books and comic book related topics, from specific titles to general movements within the industry.
Aging Jon Kent Was a Mistake
Let me start with three opinions: 1. Super Sons (Jon Kent and Damian Wayne) was fantastic and I miss both the series and the relationship that those two characters had. I loved that imaginary stories from decades earlier suddenly became real in the DCU. 2. The actual story that aged Jon was bad. It made…… Continue reading Aging Jon Kent Was a Mistake
Peter Parker Must Die!
Peter Parker needs to pull a Barry Allen (but not come back). The world is ending and when the world ends I tend to look for comfort and I find that comfort in the form of comics. I’m sure I’m not alone. As I was rereading some of my favorite comics, I decided to check…… Continue reading Peter Parker Must Die!
Vertigo is ending because we don’t need it anymore.
DC is shutting down their Vertigo line of comics and a lot of comic book fans and professionals are sad to see it go, with good reason: it was a force in the industry. If the history of comics ever needs to be summarized in just a few minutes, Vertigo would surely make the cut.…… Continue reading Vertigo is ending because we don’t need it anymore.

Macallan (top of the line) Animal Man by Grant Morrison HC Book 01 30th Anniv Deluxe Ed Oh, yeah!

Macallan (top of the line) Border Town #4 You should be reading Border Town. It’s not just that it’s an extremely interesting look into cultures that rarely get screen (or page) time. It’s not just that it connects with current events without being overshadowed by them. Border Town would still be good if that was…… Continue reading Weekly Whiskey: Comics Worth Your Money for 12/5/18

Macallan (top of the line) Well, honestly, there’s nothing coming out this week that I would consider “top of the line.” There are some good books being released, but nothing so great that I would put it up there with Macallan. They can’t all be the best! Jack Daniels (every day) Marvel Action Spider-Man #1…… Continue reading Weekly Whiskey: Comics Worth Your Money for 11/28/18

Macallan (top of the line) Atomic Robo Greatest Hits I love Atomic Robo. Atomic Robo is comics at its finest. I am currently writing an entire piece on why Atomic Robo is great. I have no idea what is in this comic, but it is $1 and it’s Atomic Robo and that is all you…… Continue reading Weekly Whiskey: Comics Worth Your Money for 11/21/18

A solid week with a few interesting debuts… Mcallan (top of the line) Mister Miracle #12 Whenever I read an issue of the current Batman book I am struck by fact that the person writing these stories is also writing Mister Miracle. It’s nearly impossible for me to wrap my brain around. I supposed it’s…… Continue reading Weekly Whiskey: Comics Worth Your Money for 11/14/18
