From the Archives: Deck Log Entry # 3 Titans of Relevancy (Part 2)
The most noticeable one was dropping Aqualad from the roster and replacing him with Speedy, the Green Arrow’s junior partner. Under the prevailing continuity at the time, the Boy Bowman had no official standing with the Teen Titans; he had guest-starred in the title twice before, and was listed again as… Continue

Deck Log Entry # 100 "But I Always Thought . . . .": the Legion of Super-Heroes (Part 3)
Welcome back! As far as misconceptions regarding the Silver-Age Legion of Super-Heroes go, I’ve pretty much gotten the bile out of my system. So we’ll wind it up with a look at some of the minor mistaken beliefs which fans have taken to heart. These don’t crop up too often. Not because they are largely disbelieved, but because they…

The Stars of the Spanish American Style Part Three: A New Millennium
The X-Men’s loss was all of comics’ gain. By the late ‘90s, Joe Madureira, Chris Bachalo, Carlos Pacheco and Salvador Larroca were all finding better or more interesting work outside of the confines of the X-Men family of titles. Salvador Larroca’s stint on the Heroes Return mini-series…

Deck Log Entry # 98 "But I Always Thought . . . .": the Legion of Super-Heroes (Part 1)
I've avoided doing a "But I Always Thought . . . " piece on the Legion of Super-Heroes because, frankly, it was just too easy. It's like shooting fish in a barrel. You couldn't get through a year's worth of Legion stories in the 1970's without coming across at least one significant discrepancy from what had been well-established in Legion lore back in the Silver Age. And, besides, I'd pointed out enough of them in message-board posts. I just couldn't bring myself to take the easy…

'Siege' is the comic-book epic at its best
Scripps Howard News Service
Feb. 2, 2010 -- A lot of comics fans say they have “event fatigue,” meaning they’re tired of sprawling, company-wide storylines. If so, I hope that doesn’t put them off “Siege,” a sprawling, company-wide storyline that began at Marvel Comics in January.…

The Stars of the Spanish American Style Part One: The Age of Apocalypse and Before
If you’ve been reading Fluit Notes for a significant length of time, then you’ve probably heard me mention the X-Men mega-crossover Age of Apocalypse at least once. It was a formative event for me, drawing me back into comics as a college student after wandering away as a teenager. The…
