You know the drill. I trawl through the books that were out on or around the same date but many years ago. Then I post the ones with the most striking covers and then finish with an attempt at a witty line. So Mastermind’s triple shot latte has added X-Men steam. 5/1 they fight. Evens …

Ah, the return of an old friend. Sort of like a Facebook request from the party animal you used to know who is now a children’s entertainer and Scientologist. Ah Peter, never make that “Hair Don’t” joke around Medusa. There’s definitely some anti-West coast bias in the Big 2 team books Tarzan, you should know …

You may wonder why the second issue of the series, when the first was the introduction of this new, JLA-analogy-with-balls? Well it could be because this was the first time you really see the Authority kicking arse and not bothering to take names (although there was one panel for each character at the end of …

Sometimes commentary isn’t needed. The literal villain strikes again! So many questions, and all surrounding why Nighthawk is holding his …

Soap Confused? You won’t be… Soap for me is classic television, let alone classic television comedy. Parodying daytime Soaps, but with the stories turned up to ludicrous, it has at its centre 2 sisters and their different lives. While the normal soap staples were there (sex, murder, revenge, amnesia, secret children, power etc) very quickly …

Why will the X-Men fall when Kitty Pryde leaves? Because she’s got all the furniture in that case? Or maybe its the 10 speed racer thats up for grabs. Boy does Yellowjacket look like he’s in a funk or what? But wait, if he hurries, perhaps he can win a 10-speed racer. That’ll put …
