I got tired of waiting for Marvel an DC to release a facsimile edition of DC Special Series #27, so I went ahead a re-read the 1995 reprint instead. Whereas the second Superman/Spider-Man one seemed to me to be more…"
"Hakumei & Mikochi: Tiny Little Life in the Woods, Volume 13, by Takuto Kashiki
Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid: Fafnir the Recluse, Voume 5, Nouyoshizamurai"
Untold Tales of Spider-Man was a short-lived true retroactive continuity series from the mid-'90s. Great pains were taken by writer Kurt Busiek (and artist Pat Olliffe as well) to indicate exactly which issues of Lee…"
I like J.M. Dematteis and I like Mike Zeck, but somehow haven't read "Kraven's Last Hunt" since it was first released. It's pretty much exactly as I remembered it."
Here it is, just a few short weeks before the release of Romeo & Juliet & Godzilla, and it occured to me that I didn't remember the ending of Godzilla's Monsterpiece Theatre. that in itself is not so unusual, but…"
I have bought all of these P.O.T.A. crossover series even though every single one of them has been objectively awful (perhaps that's why I buy them), and this one is no exception. It starts with the…"
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…"

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,…"
I'm working my way through those Zoids strips myself. I thought I'd read the whole run as the Morrison stuff is right at the end and I wanted all the context.
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.
