Valkyrie Reading Order!

December 4, 2019 by Matt Lehn Leave a Comment

Like the comic book adaptation of a certain God of Thunder, Marvel delves back into Norse mythology for a long-standing female protagonist: Valkyrie.

By comparison, though, Thor’s saga is far more straightforward. And this is despite its great many twists, turns and occasional mortal alter egos- something at which our “Sword Girl” friend also excels.

However, the Odinson’s district advantage has always been his solo series and the additional pages it affords in fleshing out his character. For better or worse, Valkyrie is historically a team player, always written as part of an ensemble cast and rarely striking out on her own solo endeavors. [Read more…] about Valkyrie Reading Order!

Lobo Reading Order – Our Favorite Bastich!

October 17, 2019 by Dave 1 Comment

Lobo. The Last Czarnian. The Main Man.

The Lobo we all know began life as a satirization of Marvel’s edgy 80’s anti-heroes. He’s hairy, surly, and damn near unkillable just like Wolverine. He’s got Ghost Rider’s chain, bike, and fashion sense. He has the pre-requisite “”healing factor”” which was all the rage at the time, only his is so ridiculous that it allows him to regenerate from a single drop of blood.

All of which is to say, Lobo has an enormous amount of ‘tude. [Read more…] about Lobo Reading Order – Our Favorite Bastich!

DCeased Reading Order & Review!

October 12, 2019 by Dave 4 Comments

While I still wish it was a shockingly transformative piece of DC Universe canon, the “Elseworlds” style DCeased event by Tom Taylor, Trevor Hairsine, Stefano Guadiano, and Rainier Beredo is a hit, and a highly enjoyable one at that. [Read more…] about DCeased Reading Order & Review!

Essential Plastic Man Comics Reading Order!

October 10, 2019 by Dave Leave a Comment

Eel O’Brian, aka Plastic Man, is one of the DC heroes I found most surprising as I got into comics. While his powerset is reminiscent of the Elongated Man (or Mister Fantastic), Eel’s a former criminal who never stops making outlandish jokes. Plus, Plastic Man’s origins date back to creator Jack Cole’s work in the 1940’s Golden Age of comics! [Read more…] about Essential Plastic Man Comics Reading Order!
