I've picked them up from dollar boxes, but I'm worried that the series was cancelled twice, and I think it's still unfinished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raze Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 (edited) 316 Batman 96 This was Ok...Very of the times. I say OK because I don't see how it moves the story forward. But I agree with this review. Edited August 6, 2020 by Raze added t the post Talapas1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each week in August (along with an extra 4 says of September to make an even 5 weeks) you try to read 100 of your back issues. I've done it the last 3 years, and was getting ready to do it again this year when I saw this thread. So I said to myself, Self, 2 birds. So, week 1 of the Challenge is in the books. In the 2017 Challenge I intended to read some Legion of Super Heroes titles, since it was their 70th anniversary. But it was also a Superman anniversary, and I ended up filling my quota with Superman titles. So this week my theme was LSH and Books With My Kids. First up, the LSH issues: Adventure Comics #329-380 - some classic tales of the Legion during these issues, many of them written by the teenage Jim Shooter. So many great stories in this run: Super-Moby where Lightning Lad loses his arm; Starfinger; Computo; Star Boy getting expelled; The Luck-Lords; the Super-Stalag; the introductions of Universo, the Fatal Five, The Dark Circle, and Mordru (not to mention the first appearance of the Khunds in the DC universe); the Sun Eater; and the Adult Legion story that shaped the LSH history for years to come. An essential run of LSH issues for the Legion fan. After their run in Adventure Comics, the Legion moved to the backup feature in Action Comics issues #377-392. Not as many memorable stories here, as they were the backup, but still of interest to Legion completists. Finally on the Legion run, the moved into Superboy as the backup - and later the feature, crowding out Superboy in his own title - and here I read issues 172-173, 176-178, and 183. In the category of Books With My Kids: With my daughter, we continued on with Saga, reading issues #19-33. We also started the recent Martian Manhunter miniseries, reading issues #1-7. With my son, we read the first 5 issues of Fables, What Happened to Rose Red? A very interesting Fair Play mystery, highly recommended. The current total is now 296.

That Deadpool issue always leaves me misty eyed. The same for Immortal Hulk 13; when Hulk says he was always there to protect him. Not of fan recent comics from the big 2. It feels like they insert PSAs into the comics that don't propel the story at all. I'm all for changing the cultural landscape, but at least be clever and creative about it, instead of a ham-fisted beat you over the head type thing. (Immortal Hulk the exception but it suffers the same problems at times) cgcsketcherz, Raze, Ken Aldred and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raze Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 321 Judo Joe 1 I found this "Gem" in a box in the back room of a LCS. It made me laugh. Im a big MMA fan so I had to get this along with a few other books. Needless to say I didn't pay for it but worth every penny! There is a Atomic Bomb panel and in a 4 page story he dresses as a woman to catch a purse snatcher! I highly recommend this odd ball title so if you want to read it here's a link https://digitalcomicmuseum.com/index.php?dlid=18799 Ken Aldred 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
