The Best Solo Marvel Villain Stories!

June 11, 2019 by Matt Lehn 8 Comments

Evil-doing adversaries are an integral part to superhero storytelling, but it’s actually kind of a rarity that they ever get to helm their own series. Sure, you have fence-straddling “anti-heroes” such as Venom or Deadpool and even grey-area vigilantes like the Punisher, but the straight-up baddies? Maybe it’s this lack of respect that keeps them on the wrong side of the tracks. Who knows?

However, there are occasions when Marvel’s antagonists get to not only “break bad” but also get their get their due and break out in popular acclaim. Let’s take a look at some of those examples now, or, as Stan Lee would say… “Bring On The Bad Guys!” [Read more…] about The Best Solo Marvel Villain Stories!

Best 100+ Issue Runs in Comics

June 6, 2019 by John Galati 10 Comments

It’s rare that comic creators get to go even a few years on a comic book. Five years is something of an accomplishment. But when creators get to stay for a decade or more, something magic comes out. Something more than just long tales, something more than the sum of its parts. The book gets a kind of consistency that builds up to make bigger ideas possible. Collected here are some of the best examples of what can happen when you break 100 issues! [Read more…] about Best 100+ Issue Runs in Comics

In addition to comics series that likely share connective tissue or inspiration for the Infinity War / Endgame narrative, I’ve put together my picks for where to start with the major players.

Why you should be buying Artist Editions from IDW

April 20, 2019 by John Galati Leave a Comment

I’ve been collecting comics for roughly three decades now, but I think I can split my habit into only two periods: the point where I followed characters from issue to issue, and the period where I followed artists, writers, and creative teams from title to title. You can see the change in the way I organize and show-off my comics as well, with “wings” dedicated to Alan Moore and Warren Ellis, Jill Thompson and Dave Johnson.
