Yes, it's time for another trip down memory lane with Comics You Should Own, as I reprint a post I originally wrote back in February 2005 on my far-less-popular blog. So let's look at the original Hobgoblin Saga, shall we? Complete with big-time SPOILERS!

Comics You Should Own - Hellstorm #12-21 and Druid #1-4

As with Garth Ennis's Hellblazer, these are comics that are not truly great, but they are really fascinating. Call them the ur-Ellis comics, as you'll see. And, of course, SPOILERS are all over these posts!

Insane? Completely over-the-top? Outrageous? Ultra-violent? It must be a Frank Miller comic!

Why don't we take a look at a somewhat problematic but still worthy run by a Mister Ennis, shall we?

For only the second time, I look at one issue exclusively. But why this one? WHY????

Comics You Should Own - The Heckler

Another short-lived series that was perhaps released at precisely the wrong time ... but that doesn't mean it's not fantastic!

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!

Comics You Should Own flashback - Amazing Spider-Man #229-230

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, [...]

Comics You Should Own - Grendel #13-23

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!
