The Spectre stands up in front of clouds.
Why Ostrander’s Spectre is a Tragic Hero

The Spectre is an underrated favorite character of mine. Almost as old as Superman, he first appeared in 1940. He was even made by the same writer, Jerry Spiegel, with a co-credit from one Bernard Baily.  He has a storied history, playing a significant role in many of its events, particularly in Crisis on Infinite […]

Laura Kinney, Wolverine, the best X-Men, stand front and center of the new team roster.
X-Men #1 & Comic Book Reviews 7/7

After Jonathan Hickman’s superb X-Men series about the mutants of Krakoa, we have a new superhero team that gives what the naysayers have been asking for.

Variant Cover of X-Factor with Rachel Gray walking the Krakoan version of the red carpet.
X-Factor & Comic Book Reviews 6/30

While the Hellfire Gala comes to anticlimactic and insulting close with X-Factor, Titans rise with their 2021 Yearbook issue. There’s nothing but surprises this week, with the comics I’m reading. For the most part, that’s a good thing, but X-Factor’s horrendous decisions threaten to taint it. It’s likely best, to talk about the worst book […]
