DID HORROR COMICS EVER LEAVE US? By Mike Wall
I’ve grown up reading horror comics. I loved when Gemstone reprinted the old EC comics so I can actually read the early horror. Aside from EC, DC comics killed it for horror comics in the 70s and the beginning of the 80s in my opinion. Yet the debate I just had with my employee was, … Read more A Doc’s Corner Special! – Things You Might Have Missed!

SUPERMAN SPACE AGE #2 DC COMICS Mark Russell’s story continues in what I can only refer to as the best Elseworlds Comic that isn’t an Elseworld’s comic. Incorporating multiple storylines into the overall narrative, we bounce from time period to time period and watch as the roster of heroes expands. Aquaman, Green Arrow, Black … Read more My First Comic by David B.
My first comic, Fantastic Four A Death in the Family (One-Shot), was a strange one. Instead of containing only one story it contained three different stories of varying tones. The first was a serious story about helping others even if it hurts you, the second is a story of strange comic nonsense involving a reality … Read more Doc’s Reviews For the Week of 09/21/2022

Mark Waid and Dan Mora really know how … Read more A Quick Look Back at Sgt Rock and Who Made Him By Daniel Seib
Bruce Campbell is bringing back World War II veteran Sargent Rock for DC Horror Presents Sgt Rock Vs the Army of the Dead for some Zombie Nazi punching fun.

MIDNIGHT SUNS #1 MARVEL COMICS Having grown up on Gary Friedrich and Mike Ploog’s Monster of Frankenstein, Gerry Conway and Mike Ploog’s Werewolf By Night, and of course all the talented names associated with Marvel’s Tomb of Dracula series, everytime Marvel reintroduces a new horror series, I hope to get to relive those glory … Read more A Homage to Homage Covers By Luke S.
Nostalgia is one heck of a drug, especially when it comes to comics. Everyone wants to pay tribute to the classics, and a big way this is done in comics is with homage covers. An homage cover is a comic cover that either copies directly or references another, more iconic, comic cover. Comics are constantly … Read more “I wanna start *blank* from the beginning!” By Shawn Spurlock
There are essentially two types of people driving vehicles in your average parking lot. There are S.H.I.E.L.D. people and there are Hydra people. This is also true of the many customers that venture through the door on any given day. Comic shop customers generally fall into the categories of ‘Nerd’ and ‘Civilian’. We love you … Read more Doc’s Reviews for the Week of 9/7/2022
DARK CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS #4 DC COMICS After the moral abomination that was issue #3, I was surprized when this was in my pile for reviews.
