"MARVEL'S MIGHTIEST MONSTERS:
Back in 2017, when Marvel releasted the Monsters "Monsterbus" v2, I still hadn't read v1. So I read the first volume, then took what I had intended to be a brief break between volumes and never got back to it. Rather…"

""My" Aunt May? Most definitely not."
"I realize that this was writer's (or editor's) fiat, but would Aunt May have wanted this just to extend her life?"
"CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS: PARAGONS RISING (DELUXE EDITION):
After reading the original CoIE for the first time in 30 years (whcih was great fun!), I moved on to the TV tie-in version of CoIE (for the third time in six years)."

""ONE MORE DAY":
I found "One More Day" to be so offensive that it put me off Spider-Man for 20 years (and counting). I have certainly never read it again. But with Marvel now revisiting Peter and Mary Jane's contract with Mephisto (whcih has now…"

"CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS: I have read CoIE #11-12 many, many times over the years, but I haven't read the entire series in at least 30 years. A couple of months ago (July 9) I bought the "Absolute Edition" and began reading it this week. So far…"
"SUPERMAN: 30TH ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL: Successive chapters are by 1) Rainbow Rowell & Cian Tormey, 2) Louise Simonson & Jon Bogdanove, 3) Karl Kesel & Tom Grummet, and 4) Dan Jurgens & Jerry Ordway. But if I would have known this was just another Mr.…"
"THE NEW YORKER ENCYCLOPEDIA OF CARTOONS: I've just started reading this two-volume, slipcased set. The cartoons are arranged by subject, and so far I'm through the A's (Accountants, Adam & Eve, Adultery, Advertising, Aging, Air Travel, Alternative…"
"I received a digital review copy of Bride of Frankenstein Lives #1, and given my breathless anticipation, devoured it immediately. And my every hope was fulfilled.
The art is terrific. It's not cartooning so much as illustration. Full,…"

"The only other new comics I bought this week (that I haven't posted about elsewhere) are Six of Us #2 and Wonder Woman #38, both written by Tom King."
"On weekends I like to deviate from whatever "projects" I'm currently reading in favor of something different. Today I read Green Lantern #49 and #69, as well as skimmed other issues from #50-75 that were thematically related."
"Captain Britain: 50th Anniversary Special: Three stories, none of them really worth reading. Lightweight. YMMV.
Legion of Super-Heroes #2: I'm enjoying this reboot. (I re-read #1 before I read #2.) It's the kind of a re-boot that, the more you bring…"

"Funny thing with this series. I read issues 2 - 4 but for some reason never picked up the first issue.
Overall one of Walt Simonson's most impressive pieces of work."

"ROBOCOP VERSUS THE TERMINATOR:
I read Robocop Versus the Terminator today for the first time in 34 years and the second time ever. (Can you guess why?) I wasn't necessarily a big fan of either movie series in 1992, but I was (and am) a fan of Frank…"

"Let's face it. They no more worked out the details of Vulcans and their culture before season one aired (other than they had pointy ears and were logical) than Lucas knew anything about the Clone Wars when he shot Star Wars (other than cloning was…"
"He also jammed with the "space hippies," and he and his father took first and second place in the All-Vulcan Music Competition. In one episode he quipped to Uhura that "Vulcan has no moon," yet TMP clearly showed two large celestial bodies in…"

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.
