I didn’t have much to say when Steve Gerber died because, believe it or don’t, I have read very little by the man. Yes, it’s true! However, I have read this, so here’s some kind of epitaph. As always, there are plenty of SPOILERS below, but not as many as usual!

“Torment” - a great Spider-Man story, or the greatest Spider-Man story? The debate begins below!

Yes, it’s time for another flashback, to a time when my skills at writing these up weren’t as refined as they are now. Yes, I know many people think my writing skills still aren’t terribly refined! So I apologize for the rather short post. I’d add more, but I think these work nicely as a […]

Long-time readers of Grendel might wonder where their issue #47 is. But they can probably figure out what issues #41-50 are, too. Always remember, there be SPOILERS in these posts!

You know, I always wondered if the bananas should have been more important … but that’s all I’m going to say until I warn you that there will be massive SPOILERS in this post! It’s probably more pertinent for this one than a lot of others, because there’s such a doozy in this story arc!

Instead of so many Grendel-related posts in a row (I have at least two more to go, and possibly more), I thought I would again get in the Way-Back Machine and update another of my old posts in this series. This time it’s the excellent Bendis/Gaydos comic, another of those books, like Fury, that came out early in this millennium, […]

It’s another section of Matt Wagner’s epic. It’s an odd group of issues, but they’re still excellent! And, as usual, SPOILERS abound in these posts!

Matt Wagner’s masterpiece is our next installment. For now, I’m only looking at the first twelve issues. Next time, we’ll go beyond that. And, as always, SPOILERS abound in these posts!

Occasionally I don’t think I’m going to include a series in Comics You Should Own, because I don’t remember it measuring up to greatness. Then I re-read it. Case in point: Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson’s rather odd tribute to everyone favorite’s S.H.I.E.L.D. director. I remembering enjoying it when it first came out, but it’s a […]

Alan Moore and Eddie Campbell’s brilliant masterpiece is next on the hit list. If you think I’m even going to scratch the surface of this thing, you’re probably sadly mistaken. But I’ll try to give it a somewhat thorough examination. And, as I’ve been told that I need to stop ruining books for people who […]

While I’m trying to wrap my head around the latest installment of this series, another Alan Moore-penned comic (I’m in the letter “F,” so you can probably guess which one it is), I thought I’d re-post a different Alan Moore-penned comic, which is a bit less serious but no less essential.

If you’ve ever wondered if Sam Kieth is awesome, well, the answer is: Yes, yes he is.

Ah, yes - the Holy Grail of modern comics. Let’s see what all the fuss is about, shall we?

Firestorm? Firestorm???? Yes, Firestorm. Two words: “John” and “Ostrander.” Read on!

Why those issues, you might ask? Why indeed …
