John Galati's Writing on Comic Book Herald

Essential DC Comics Elseworlds & Alternate Realities!

February 26, 2019 by John Galati Leave a Comment

The Elseworlds were DC’s test kitchen, providing a place for authors and artists to tweak, remix, or utterly break and rebuild certain characters. The stories were meant to deliver stories that were impossible in normal continuity, or to allow characters to break from their normal constraints and… say… fight Lovecraftian monsters or level whole cities.

Below are just a few of the notable works, helpfully sorted into categories for easy perusing. [Read more…] about Essential DC Comics Elseworlds & Alternate Realities!

The Best of Captain Marvel, Carol Danvers – Essential Comics Reading List!

February 12, 2019 by John Galati Leave a Comment

Carol Danvers was, up until very recently, one of Marvel’s most unsung heroes with a story that’s had more rewrites, retcons, rebrandings, and reboots than I care to count.

And that’s what we’ve tried to collect below.

If you’re just looking for a place to begin before Captain Marvel joins the MCU, grab In Pursuit of Flight. But if you want to know how she became Earth’s Mightiest Hero, keep reading. [Read more…] about The Best of Captain Marvel, Carol Danvers – Essential Comics Reading List!

February 5, 2019 by John Galati 5 Comments

Comic books: They’re as much about collecting as they are about reading. But how can one possibly be expected to amass a library of anything without it turning critical and exploding outward in an enormous mess? How can we be orderly and nerdy, all without breaking the bank?

Well good news. I, the reasonably priced Scandinavian furniture solution that is John Galati, have come to you flat-packed and ready to help with all your paper archiving needs. Read on! [Read more…] about How to Store, Expand, and Show Off your Comic Collection

Rick Remender Creator Profile – The Essential Reading List

January 29, 2019 by John Galati Leave a Comment

Rick Remender began in animation, then switched over to penciling and inking comics before making the switch to the big league comics. He grew up in the 80s punk/skater subculture in Phoenix and as a result has a real love for the underdog and the damaged.
