Borrowing from past Atom storylines (how many miniature yellow women is Ray going to fall for? Geez!) Basically, this is a flashback issue getting us caught up with … Read more Doc’s Reviews for 9/19/2017 *Turn Back Tuesday*
Due to an urgent call from the State of Illinois, I have been at Jury Duty all day. Without a way to get my hands on this week’s new books, I’m going Flashback style and pay a visit to the super secret archives of Comic History hidden somewhere behind the heads on Mt. Rushmore. aising … Read more Doc’s Reviews for 09/12/17
ACTION COMICS #987 DC COMICS OMG! WTF! And other expressions of disbelief and aggravation! After months of teasing us, this is what we get?! No spoilers but it’s gonna be hard.

DASTARDLY & MUTTLEY #1 DC COMICS Well count another one of my childhood favorites totally crushed. After DC’s short lived revamp of the Wacky Races, I had hope for their take on the beloved Dastardly and Muttley in their Flying Machines cartoon. And I couldn’t have been more wrong. While Garth Ennis’s tale is a … Read more Doc’s Reviews for the Week of 8/30/17

Sandman Special #1 DC COMICS An all-star celebrity cast work magic in reviving the tales of the guardian of dreams. The stories presented here are wonderful remembrances of the comics we read in our youth.

And we are still obsessing over the villainy of Professor Zoom. The Negative Flash design is most assuredly based … Read more Doc’s reviews for 8/2/17
TRUE BELIEVERS BLACK PANTHER #1 MARVEL COMICS A double treat! And such a deal! Flashback to the good ole days and see what the real T’challa was like before you saw him on the screens.

Project Superpowers: HeroKillers #3 DYNAMITE COMICS GROUP One has to take a step back to enjoy this title. While still a love letter to the fans of the Golden Age, this rather warped spoof does have a dark side. At the end of the series, I totally expect to see the final panel being … Read more Reviews for July 18, 2017 (Extended Version) part 2
