"DICK TRACY #15 (MAD CAVE):
This issue finally brings the first storyline to an end. I started buying this series as a curiosity (and it is that), but the first story just went on, and on, and on. I hate to abandon a series mid-story, plus I kept…"

"DC KO: The Kids Are All Fight Special #1"
"I enjoyed Criminal Volume 6: Last of the Innocent (Brubaker/Phillips), though I thought it rushed towards the conclusion with a couple too many plot conveniences. Still, it is kind of a Blue Velvet take on Archie, without touching the actual Archie…"
"The Avengers #800I Hate Fairyland #47"
"WONDER WOMAN BLACK & GOLD 2026 SPECIAL:
Four stories by a variety of creators. Needless to say, the best of the batch is written by Tom King. That would be true even if the other three were good, which they weren't, particularly. I can't recommend…"

"Due to my situation at home, I've been pulling out some older trades that I had scanned but never fully read.
This week is S.H.I.E.L.D. by Lee & Kirby: The Complete Collection. I am reliving those early days of SHIELD with Nick Fury in command,…"

"JSA #15: I'm growing increasingly disenchanted with this "JSA: Year One", everyone seems way out of character, and I feel like continuity is bing nchanged in unnecessary and unproductive ways. If I keep buying this book, it'll be out of inertia or…"
"Cornell addresses the Beast's lack of involvement on the Korvac Saga, but that really wasn't the intended purpose of the story because it was taken from inventory. He also mentions the fact that Korvac Saga never really did have an adequate…"
"I always thought that its purpose was to explain why the Beast vanished from the Korvac Saga so soon but there already was an explanation in X-Men #111-114 (JU-O'78)."
"That is on my to-read list. Thanks."
"Not to my knowledge, no. His Reckless books seem to me to have a bit of Travis McGee in them, though. There's the great tough-guy action stories, but they tend to have a layer of talking about the changes to the California environment and cities…"
"Brubaker also did a dark take on the Archie gang ("Last of the Innocents"). Has he done Nancy Drew or the Hardy Boys yet?"
"I'm guessing what the Beast might feel needs killing in him -- which might be a different thing than the empathic figure intended -- is a feeling of guilt that he's a sham. That in leaving the X-Men for the Avengers, in a way he's casting off his…"
"I was about 20 when this fill-in came out, and don't remember being impressed. But, like y'all, I am also not the world's greates Gerber fan.
I find it interesting that Buscema's cover, which I found strangely disjointed at the time, was lifted…"

"Other than, "It is, however, a masterpiece"? About the ending specifically he said that it "indicates one of two things: either the business of control in U.S. society is a series of boxes all inside each other and the agents are just as much…"
Comments
They're good fun. I think I'm scratching the itch I had as a kid when I couldn't afford those big lumps of colourful plastic that looked so cool in the ads.
Actually I'm downloading them as I just know I'm going to visit that site some day and see that they've been taken down...
If you happen to find out the creative credits for the different episodes and their publishing dates I'd be grateful for the info. I couldn't find them anywhere.
Here's a birthday present for you.
