AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #61: OK, so, the old Sorcerer Supreme (Doctor Strange) had to fight an evil god once a year. (This is news to me, too.) Now the new one (Doctor Doom), isn't going to waste time doing that, when he's g
As I was reading one of this week's new DC comics I came across an ad for the animated Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths, Part 3 ("The Conclusion to the Epic Trilogy"). "Part 3"? I didn't know there were parts ane and two! Just as well... now

I have been in a "Lone Ranger" mood for a while now and have been meaning to read the Dynamite series for some time. John Cassaday provided the cover art, and with his recent passing, this seems like the perfect opportunity to pay him tribute by spot
This is the first post in a projected series of three. Whenever I go back to re-read a particular favorite series of mine, I generally go to the best of the run, which is often the beginning. Many series feature a resurgance in creativity later in th
