SUPERMAN: FATHER OF TOMORROW #1
(W) Kenny Porter (A/CA) Danny Earls
THE SOLE SURVIVOR OF KRYPTON — JOR-EL!
A BRAND-NEW ELSEWORLDS SUPERMAN SERIES STARTS HERE! In a corner of far-flung space, a world explodes. A lone rocket escapes the destruction and races through space, ultimately landing on a small farm in small-town Kansas. A kindly couple steps with trepidation toward the alien craft as the door opens. Out steps a man named Jor-El, the sole survivor of the planet Krypton! As Jor-El fits in to his new home, he realizes that he can help the world, not just with his newfound powers but with his intellect as well.
This is the story of a Man of Steel and Science — and the world he saves.
Looks like a good one to get as a collection, and place next to last week's Superman Elseworlds collection on the bookshelf!
DC FINEST: DEADMAN — HOW MANY TIMES CAN A GUY DIE?
Collects Strange Adventures #205-216; The Brave and the Bold #79, 86, 104 and 133; Challengers of the Unknown #74; Justice League of America #94; The Forever People #9-10; World’s Finest Comics #223 and 227; The Phantom Stranger #33 and 39-41; The Superman Family #183; and Aquaman #50-52.
When I was a kid, my "Deadman" collection was pretty spotty. I had the first one, and a random clutch of others. But after the first issue (drawn by Carmine Infantino), it was obvious that the rest of the series was drawn by my new fave, Neal Adams. I wanted the missing issues very badly, but they never seemed to show up at flea markets. And then my dog somehow got hold of Strange Adventures #205, dragged it under the bed, tore it up for a nest, and had puppies on it. I am not making this up. After that, I didn't even have the first issue any more!
So as the years passed, I was always pleased to see a Deadman back issue or reprint, and I snatched up any collection that came my way. They never seemed to be completely comprehensive, until finally DC released the Deadman Omnibus in 2020. It has everything this DC Finest does (except for the mostly superfluous New Gods #9-10), and also includes DC Super Stars #18, Phantom Stranger #18, DC Special Series #8, Challengers of the Unknown #84-87, Adventure Comics #459-466, DC Comics Presents #24, Detective Comics #500, Deadman #1-4, Secret Origins #15 and Who’s Who pages. That's basically everything Deadman-wise (except for those two New Gods issues) from debut to Crisis on Infinite Earths. Which is exactly what I wanted!
That's not to say it's all awesome-sauce. I loved the Adams issues, of course, but then they solved Deadman's murder. That meant the end of the strip. And, evidently, DC didn't want to let the character go. So the murder was DE-solved, got more complicated, dragged in Batman and League of Assassins, and went even more bonkers from there. Especially since Deadman didn't have a strip for a long time after Strange Adventures, meaning all the twists and turns took place in stories where he was a guest star. That means multiple writers, some of whom didn't do their homework. It may have held together better than I remember, but as a reader getting these issues in real time, it just seemed a mess — like they just didn't know what to do with the guy. Someday I will sit down with that omnibus, read it cover and cover, and see if my memories match up to reality.
Or I might do that with this Finest collection. It's a lot easier to read than an omnibus, and it's ridiculously cheap. Plus, I really like those Adams issues, and don't mind reading them over and over!
DC FINEST: SUPERGIRL — DIE AND LET LIVE
(W) Peter David (A) Leonard Kirk, Robin Riggs, Various (CA) Leonard Kirk, Robin Riggs
Featuring stories filled with action, heart, and humor as only Peter David could deliver, DC Finest: Supergirl: Die and Let Live collects Supergirl #19-35 and #1,000,000, Resurrection Man #16-17, Team Superman Secret Files and Origins #1, Team Superman #1, Supergirl/Prysm Double-Shot #1, and a story from Adventure Comics 80-Page Giant #1.
I see the excitement for this book on the site, and I hope y'all have a grand time. Honest! But this isn't for me — I never got into Supergirl-But-Not-Really. Even when she was written by the inestimable Peter David, which I think was for most of her run. But I just knew none of it was going to stick, especially the "Earth Angel" thing that seemed to run counter to DC's established cosmology. I knew, with utter certainty, that someday the original Supergirl would return, and all of this — Lex Luthor clone, All-New All-Different Comet the Superhorse, Earth Angels, protoplasm Supergirl, dead Linda Lee — would be Mopeed away, never to be mentioned again.
And that's pretty much what happened.

This May, behold what makes DOCTOR DOOM Marvel’s greatest supervillain in DOOMQUEST, a ten-issue maxi-series written by current Fantastic Four scribe Ryan North, following his masterful work on Doom in One World Under Doom, and acclaimed artist Francesco Mobili (Daredevil).
No one in Marvel Comics history has had greater triumphs — or more bitter defeats — than DOCTOR DOOM. Now, see him embark on his most ambitious quest yet in this definitive new DOOM saga from two industry superstars. A standalone, evergreen story, DOOMQUEST provides a perfect introduction and all-encompassing exploration of the character as he journeys through time to achieve glory for Latveria — and the ultimate victory over his archenemy Reed Richards! It’s a wild and adventurous odyssey that takes readers into the heart of Victor Von Doom, across the edges of reality, into action-packed battles you can’t see anywhere else, and beyond!
THE DAYS OF DOOM!
Doctor Victor Von Doom is a great scientist, an unparalleled sorcerer and the ruler of his own nation. He is, by any measure, a great man. And yet Doom wants more. And when Reed Richards — Mister Fantastic, his greatest enemy and eternal rival — is showcased at a prestigious international event to which Doom wasn’t even invited, Doom is outraged.
Reed shares his plan for his eventual retirement project: the total optimization of history. He intends to go back in time, to all the eras humanity wasted on war and conflict, and fix them, saving trillions of lives and ensuring humanity can achieve its greatest and final glory. The idea of Reed rewriting history in his own image is, of course, antithetical to Doom, and so he decides to do it before Reed does. But when the Fantastic Four intervene, Doom finds himself in a battle he never intended – across all of time and space!
On returning to the character after One World Under Doom, North said, “I thought we'd left Doom in a really interesting place with the events of One World Under Doom, and I was looking forward to seeing what others do with him now - and I still am! But when the chance came up to do an evergreen Doom story — meaning one set not in the immediate present but instead in the not-too-distant past, unshackled from his current status quo — it was really alluring, especially when I was told I could go as big and as crazy as I wanted. In short, this is the fun one: Doom at his absolute Doomiest as he careens his way through a quest through time, rewriting history in his image — all to ennoble and exalt his beloved Latveria. It's fun, it's bombastic, and I can promise some absolute banger Doom moments (and speeches!) in it.”
“I'm super excited to be part of this great new project!” Mobili added. “It has been a long time since I last worked as an interior artist for a Marvel book, and I can't imagine a better way to come back! Doctor Doom is one of the greatest villains in comic book history, and Ryan North is one of the most brilliant writers we have in the industry right now. This mix makes it super fun to draw, page by page, and I'm loving everything about Ryan's writing here. I can't ask for more, and I can't wait for you to see what we're cooking up!"
Yes, yes, yesssssss! Ryan North is the first writer since John Byrne to give me a Doctor Doom that is A) recognizable and B) satisfying. If he pulls this off, it could become the Doctor Doom evergreen story we never knew we needed.

WICCAN & HULKLING: RAID OF ULTRON #1 (ONE-SHOT)

Musician Tegan Quin of the Grammy-nominated pop duo Tegan and Sara will write a story in WICCAN & HULKLING: RAID OF ULTRON #1, Marvel’s annual Pride special hitting stands on May 27. The singer-songwriter, who makes up one half of Tegan and Sara with her twin sister Sara, will write a story starring Marvel’s own twin super heroes, Wiccan and Speed.
This year’s one-shot spotlights family with stories centered around Scarlet Witch, Vision, Wiccan, Hulkling and more. A longtime advocate for the LGBTQIA+ community, Tegan brings her expertise in an epic team-up tale that tackles the complex relationship between Billy Kaplan and Tommy Shepherd, Young Avengers and twin sons of Scarlet Witch and Vision, exploring their differences and unique perspectives as they battle Ultron!
“As a twin myself, I truly can’t think of two characters in the Marvel Universe I would have been more excited to write than Wiccan and Speed,” Quin shared. “Making my Marvel debut with this story isn’t just a thrill, it feels downright magical! And let’s just say Ultrons aren’t that different from certain folks I’ve encountered in the record industry over the years, so spending a few pages crushing one into oblivion was deeply cathartic.”
WICCAN & HULKLING REUNITE WITH FAMILY…AND DANGER!
Wiccan & Hulkling gather their known & beloved friends and family to celebrate their wedding anniversary – but everything goes awry when Ultron arrives to reclaim Vision and Viv! Here’s what readers can look forward to:
- The issue’s framing story by writer Wyatt Kennedy (Wiccan: Witches’ Road) and artist Stephen Byrne (What If…? Galactus) picks up where Wiccan: Witches’ Road leaves off as Wiccan and Hulkling host an epic anniversary party at their new home, but a certain megalomaniacal robot is eager to have a family reunion of their own and an Ultron army attacks the festivities!
- Tegan Quin of Tegan and Sara joins Marvel’s Stormbreaker artist Luciano Vecchio (Uncanny X-Men) to deliver an introspective Wiccan and Speed team-up where the twins face off against Ultron while clashing about their own unique perspectives and separate journeys.
- Writer Zoe Tunnell (Marvel United: A Pride Special) and artist Rachael Stott (Fantastic Four) bring Hulkling and his alternate universe half-sister Phyla-Vell together to bond over their shared legacy as they combine their mighty Marvelous strength to take down Ultron’s forces!
- And acclaimed writer Josh Trujillo (Planet of the Apes vs. Fantastic Four) and rising star Bradley Clayton, making their exciting Marvel Comics debut, reunite father and daughter as Viv Vision deconstructs her own identity — and how it interacts with being a synthezoid — with her dad, Vision.
Reflecting on similarities she found within the characters, Quin said, “I see so much of Sara and me in Wiccan and Speed, especially in how their lives are starting to diverge. Sara and I are both married, but she has two kids and I don’t have any, and that’s created the first real shift in how we experience adulthood—she’s living a totally different day to day life than me. Still, no matter how different our paths become, the genetic bond — the experience of being identical twins—can’t be replicated or replaced. It’s something singular that binds us, and I thought about that constantly while writing this story. Half of Sara and my career success probably comes down to our banter — people love watching us tease, fight, and resolve conflict — so I definitely leaned into that dynamic on the page hoping people might enjoy that with Wiccan and Speed!”
One of my complaints about the bulk of the Young Avengers is that we've been expected to accept them as A-listers crack out of the box. That sort of thing needs to be earned, but these blank slates just showed up as relatives of other, more popular, characters and zero history and were instantly IMPORTANT. Hulkling and Wiccan became leaders of TWO interstellar empires in their 20s, without so much as real job on their resume.
One of the things that is needful for me to like these characters is the basic building blocks of story: characterization, interaction, motivation. The Young Avengers series helped, but it wasn't enough (and, honestly, it didn't make me like the characters al that much). Maybe stories like this will help. Maybe this time Speed will get enough of a personality that I'll remember him.

CORPSE KNIGHT #2
(W) Michael Chaves (A/CA) Matthew Roberts, Rico Renzi
As Foy and her undead father begin their quest, they encounter evil beyond comprehension. But in these woods, it may be man who poses an even greater threat than monsters ...
I read the first issue and enjoyed it. The premise is that a French farmer girl's father is killed by ... I have forgotten who. Bad guy soldiers. This takes place during the 100 Years War, so probably English bad guy soldiers. Anyway, not important. What is important is that the girl prays really hard and her dead father comes back to life to rescue her from the bad soldiers. He's akin to a zombie, but clearly remembers his daughter, or at least does what she says. And seems unkillable, since you can't kill what's already dead.
The girl was inspired to pray for her father by what she'd heard about Joan d'Arc. So the first issue ended with her deciding that she and Zombie Dad need to find Joan. Who is on the other side of the country. During a war. On foot.
That's a pretty solid quest premise. And I don't believe for a second that Dad was resurrected by God. (Otherwise, a LOT of dads would come back to life in every war, including this one.) There's more going on here, and that's a mystery to be solved.
Oh, fun fact: I always assumed that Joan d'Arc or Joan de Arc meant "Joan from some place called Arc." But when I looked her up (to see where she was during this time), I found out "d'Arc" is her actual surname! Maybe everyone else already knew that, but I was today years old when I found out.

Plus, the first appearance of Ella Mental, an all-new Invincible Universe character from the soon-to-be hit Invincible VS game, in the first chapter of new backup stories by Invincible creators Robert Kirkman and Cory Walker, alongside colorist Annalisa Leoni!
“I’m so excited Capes is continuing to tell stories set in the Invincible Universe but why not also GROW the Invincible Universe at the same time?!” exclaimed Robert Kirkman. “It’s great to be working with Cory Walker again, creating a new character, in Ella Mental. You’ll love her in Invincible VS when that game launches, and you’ll get to read her origin story in Capes. How cool is that? I plan to be creating characters with Cory Walker forever!”
“Thrilled to team up with Robert one last time to bring an original character to life,” added Cory Walker.
Jeff has recommended this one, and I will eventually read it. Seven issues is quite a time commitment for my aging eyes, so it will have to wait for an opportune time. That shouldn't hold the rest of you back, though!
UNIVERSAL MONSTERS: THE CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON LIVES! BLACK & WHITE SPECIAL #1
(W) Ram V, Dan Watters (A/CA) Matthew Roberts
Originally released as a four-issue limited series, Universal Monsters: Creature from the Black Lagoon Lives! picks up years after the events of the 1954 Universal Pictures’ film. Journalist Kate Marsden hunts for a notorious serial killer in the heart of the Amazon. Hot on the trail of this madman, she soon encounters an unexpected new threat--but is he a friend or foe? Or is he simply...THE CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON?
"After the massive success of our Dracula Black & White Special, we’re thrilled to return to the Black Lagoon!” said Alex Antone, Editorial Director at Skybound. “Dan Watters and Ram V delivered an incredible crime story that fans never saw coming, and Matthew Roberts’ stunning art may look even better in black & white.”
In addition to Gill-Man himself, the series introduces new characters like journalist Kate Marsden and serial killer Darwin Collier, along with a returning character from the film - the mysterious Doctor Edwin Thompson.
Released as part of Skybound and Universal Products & Experiences’ expanding Universal Monsters comic line, Creature From the Black Lagoon Lives! followed the Eisner Award-nominated Universal Monsters: Dracula by James Tynion IV and Martin Simmonds and was later joined by titles including Michael Walsh’s Frankenstein, Faith Erin Hick’s The Mummy, James Tynion IV and DANI’s The Invisible Man, and the upcoming Universal Monsters: Phantom of the Opera by Tyler Boss and Martin Simmonds. Each installment pairs top creative talent with one of pop culture’s most legendary horror icons, delivering fresh, standalone stories for longtime fans and new readers alike.

DID YOU HEAR ABOUT MIMI GREEN? #1 (OF 4)
Dark Horse Comics presents, Did You Hear About Mimi Green?, a brand-new comic series with a surreal and grisly take on the wellness industry, “cancel culture,” body dysmorphia and the complex power dynamics of show business. Did You Hear About Mimi Green? will be a four-issue horror series written by Connor Goldsmith in his comics debut, illustrated by Josh Cornillon (Young Men in Love), and lettered by Ariana Maher (Detective Comics, X-Men Red). Issue #1 arrives in May 2026 and will include cover variants by Rosemary Valero-O’Connell and Nick Robles.
About Did You Hear About Mimi Green?:
Tastemaker Mimi Green is a popular essayist with a perfectly curated social media presence — until a blog post she wrote a decade ago, cruelly mocking fat people, resurfaces and sparks a viral furor. Mimi checks into an isolated mental health facility in Topanga to ride out the scandal, but as sound baths and crystal healings by day give way to restless nights, she’s pulled into another version of the building. There, the halls are old and gluttonous and gilded, and the vainglorious like Mimi and her fellow patients are punished again and again. Only local bartender Natalie, the lesbian lover Mimi hid from the public, stands a chance of tracking her down before it’s too late.
“Developing my first comic with Josh has been a joy, and Ariana's lettering has pushed his gorgeous art even further,” said Goldsmith. “Did You Hear About Mimi Green? is a very personal story, and I'm so grateful Dark Horse understands what I'm trying to accomplish with this book. I am so proud of what we've made, and so excited we can finally talk about it!"
"Working on this story, from its first early germination years ago, to the full-fledged surreal dream that it has become, has been an absolute pleasure, and the chance to build this world from the ground up with Connor has been one of the most creatively fulfilling experiences I've had in my career,” added Cornillon. “I'm so excited that everyone who has had the chance to influence the book, from our brilliant editors, our stunning letterer Ariana, my color assistant Alex Buckland, and our community of supporters, has been able to understand our freaky and twisted vision for this world. I can't wait for readers to meet Mimi, I hope she survives the experience!"
I read this, and was left wondering what was going on. That's not a complaint; a first issue ought to leave you with questions. But reading the blurb above really helped! (For example, we weren't told what the scandal was that sent Mimi to this self-help facility. We get hints, but the blurb above spells it out for me, and that won't be bothering me in the back of my head.) The mystery is interesting, the horror aspects suitably grotesque, and the artwork married nicely to the content. Something very bad is going on at this facility, and I'll probably stick around until I find out what.
Dark Horse Books is proud to present the next volume of the Richard Corben Library, the fantasy masterpiece The Last Voyage of Sindbad, (previously titled New Tales of the Arabian Nights). Written by Jan Strnad (Mutant World, Ragemoor), The Last Voyage of Sindbad is illustrated by Richard Corben (Den, Rowlf, Dimwood), winner of top honors like the Spectrum Grand Master Award, the Grand Prix of the Angoulême International Comics Festival, and inductee to the Will Eisner Hall of Fame. This new edition will feature restored art by project art director José Villarrubia, bonus materials, new introductions by Jan Strnad and Academy Award-winning filmmaker Guillermo del Toro, and essays by Harlan Ellison, Maurice Horn, and José Villarrubia, making this the definitive version of this timeless classic.
About The Last Voyage of Sindbad:
When a drunken mistake puts a world-weary Sindbad in the crosshairs of an evil Djinn, Sindbad must summon all his courage and skill for a voyage into the deepest recesses of the Land of the Djinn. Guided by a sensuous stranger, he confronts monsters, deception, and horrors from beyond the grave in a quest that demands everything he has left to give. This is the grand, ultimate climax to the legend of Sindbad!
Here's another for the Richard Corben library, which I have been collecting. I'll repeat for the record that sometimes Corben's work isn't to my taste. But he's a startling original, and has my respect.

Summer might just be starting, but this book will make you never want to go back in the water again! This issue from 1980 with a JAWS-inspired cover is loaded with hilarious stories of mirth, music, and mayhem! From pizza parties to animal antics, this collector’s item is a can’t miss! You’re gonna need a bigger boat to fit all the fun found in ARCHIE’S TV LAUGH-OUT #79, faithfully reprinted in a full-facsimile edition!
This is not, as you might imagine, an issue of Laugh with a slightly different cover title. There actually was an Archie's TV Laugh-Out comic book, which ran for 106 issues, from 1969 to 1986. Sabrina the Teenage Witch starred in every issue, because the title was meant to showcase Archie's TV characters (which included the regular Archie gang and Josie and the Pussycats). Presumably it was named Laugh-Out because Laugh-In was copyrighted. I was aging out of Archie right around the time this launched, so I didn't see many issues.
As to Laugh proper, it had a long and winding road. Top Notch Comics changed to Top Notch Laugh Comics with issue #28. That became Laugh Comics with issue #46 in 1944. Which lasted three issues before becoming Suzie Comics with issue #49. So wait, where did the long-running Laugh come from?
That started out as Special Comics in 1942, which immediately changed to Hangman Comics with issue #2. That became Black Hood Comics with issue #9. (I used to get Hangman and Black Hood mixed up, but for some reason 1940s kids preferred the latter to the former.) That became Laugh Comics with issue #20 in 1946. Which became Laugh with issue #100, and ran until issue #400. That started over in 1987 as Laugh (again), and ran for 29 issues. So the first Laugh Comics was in 1944, the second in 1946, and the third in 1987.

RECORD JOURNEY VOL. 1
A captivating collection of short stories by Ryoichiro Kezuka that explores the quiet, powerful intersections of music, memory, and everyday life.
At the heart of these stories is a young woman working at a small record store in Tokyo. Each story introduces a new visitor to the shop—each with a unique past, a specific record in mind, and an emotional thread waiting to be uncovered. As the needle drops, so do the walls between strangers, revealing bittersweet moments, long-lost connections, and the smooth healing of sound. These stories are richly illustrated and emotionally resonant, blending slice-of-life realism with a gentle, introspective tone.
What a great premise for an anthology!
ELRIC: THE SLEEPING SORCERESS #2 (OF 2)

With Stormbringer and Elric at odds in the middle of battle, the tides of war hinge on Elric’s ability to retain his sanity as he gives further in to the power of chaos. However, the sorcerer Theleb K’aarna plots to usurp Elric as the champion of chaos and steal the power of the mighty Arioch for himself. Will Elric be triumphant or will an army of chaos rain down upon the realm?
For a long time, I've not read any Elric stories not written by Michael Moorcock because, well, he's still alive. Sure, other writers have to write Conan, because Robert E. Howard can't. So, while the original creator is still alive, I'm always thinking, "This isn't the real thing, which is still possible to get."
But the Elric books continue to arrive, and I feel bad that I'm not reading them. And Moorcock was born in 1939, so maybe he's not writing them for health reasons. (Or is just tired of writing them.) The upshot is, I think I'll break my self-imposed embargo and read Elric again. I mean, I really like Elric, so the only person i'm hurting is me!

As alliances shift and secrets surface, Leo must navigate a treacherous landscape where trust is scarce and betrayal lurks around every corner. Amidst the chaos, new players emerge, each with their own agendas and supernatural abilities, further complicating the power dynamics at play.

SPECTORS VOL. 1

SC, 112pp, FC, $17.99
On sale: May 12, 2026
From the award-winning team of Shannon Eric Denton and David Hartman comes a rip-roaring adventure complete with terrifying monsters, sinister cults, and a team of oddballs out to save the world.
Jumping between the 1930s and the modern day, a trio of supernatural investigators band together to stop a cult from resurrecting ancient evils.
From the minds of Oscar-nominated Shannon Eric Denton and Emmy-nominated David Hartman comes a chilling story of a decades-long mission that spans generations of monster hunters as they combat the bumps in the night.
Armed with a mystical knife and a prosthetic multi-tool-gatling-gun, Reginald and Debby are the only people stopping evil cults from breaking the barrier between realities.
However, when they find a lab full of human test subjects, they realize the cults’ experiments date back to the 1930s and that Reginald’s own father was involved.
If you’re a fan of supernatural period pieces and cult conspiracies, this is the book for you!
"Sleeping Sorceress" is far more likely than not a comics adaptation of the identically titled 1971 prose book (also named "The Vanishing Tower" in some editions) by Moorcock himself, so it must be canon enough. It is a tale noted for featuring a complementary perspective of the meeting between Elric, Corum and Erekose that we saw originally in Corum's book "King of Swords", published earlier also in 1971.
I like that they seem to finally be giving up on calling Laura Kinney "Wolverine". Dilluting her identity is exactly what she never needed. Of course, I am biased, being no Logan fan either.
Looking forward to more Ryan North Doom. "Record Journey" looks interesting as well.
To me, my X-Men.
To X, my Me-Men!
... (or, as they style it, "H2SH").
Sounds like someone trying to stifle a sneeze.
MORE COLLECTIONS
Crisis on Infinite Earths - Absolute Edition (2026) was solicited to ship this week, but I see now that's been pushed back to June 30.
SPIRIT OF THE SHADOWS #5 - Here's one that deserves a mention. If you haven't been reading it so far, though, you might as well wait until the inevitable collection. It's a tough one to follow on a month-to-month basis (it is for me, anyway).
MANDRAKE DAILIES v4: I thought this had already come out (because I already have it).
Has it? Do you? (Because I don't.)
May has been something of a lackluster month for me, BUT... if everything that was solicited to ship in June actually ships in June, I'm really looking forward to next month.
I was always under the impression that when George Perez drew a team book, it was the TEAM that was the star, not the individual members. So while he strove to have individual faces, he didn't go out of his way to make them all "handsome" or "beautiful".
I never liked his new version of the Scarlet Witch and I don't care if his wife was a belly dancer, Wanda isn't!
He kept some like Superman, Captain America and, of course, Wonder Woman on point but played around with the secondary characters.
I'm really looking forward to the DC Finest Deadman book for two reasons: First, the great original story by Drake and Adams (with the first chapter by Infantino). I've read it all before, but it'll be fun to revisit it. But then, when the character continues as a guest-star in other books, and his dramatic throughline goes off the rails... that's fun too! It's that point where I think the DC Finests are most illuminating, telling both the story of the character, but also giving hints of the creators behind the scenes, and the push-pull of "what the hell do we do with this character?" One creator zigs, and another one zags, and eventually an approach sticks around for a while.
MANDRAKE DAILIES v4: I thought this had already come out (because I already have it).
Has it? Do you? (Because I don't.)
Sorry, Jeff, this is untrue. I remembered receiving a Mandrake recently, but it was Volume 3.
"Sleeping Sorceress" is far more likely than not a comics adaptation of the identically titled 1971 prose book (also named "The Vanishing Tower" in some editions) by Moorcock himself.
Thanks, Luis! I'll be on the alert for that in future Elric stories. I feel much better about all of it now.
To X, my Me-Men!
I assume Elon Musk is saying this.
I never liked his new version of the Scarlet Witch and I don't care if his wife was a belly dancer, Wanda isn't!
I didn't know that's why he was drawing her like that! I assumed he just had a cliched view of gypsies (like the Cher song, "used to dance for the money they'd throw"), and Wanda and Pietro were indeed gypsies. (Like Dr. Doom and maybe Magneto.) but I'm with you, I didn't care for it any more than Thor's pug nose.
I'm really looking forward to the DC Finest Deadman book
And since you are, so am I!
