No.3 SUPERMAN: THE MOVIE (WB, 1978)
Are you familiar with director Frank Capra’s iconic Christmas film “It’s A Wonderful Life” (1946)? Let me walk you through it…

Quinones' mimicry is astonishing and his characters are warm and engaging, Jordan Gibson's colors are glowing while undertaking a gargantuan task, and Humphries finds an emotional angle to the almost-ubiquitous Save-The-Multiverse type story...

Just Finished: DIAL H FOR HERO #1-12
This is included in my recent run of superhero comics that are a lot of fun to read, but it's worth mentioning that it's also genuinely one of the best books to come out of DC in this century.

Jack Cole's masterpiece, Plastic Man, had one of the most cunning secret identities in comics history -- he was a well-known crook! This is one of those comic stories that should remain in constant publication, it's a basic text on creating fun, engaging superhero comic adventure

No.30 WALT DISNEY'S VACATION PARADE #1 (Dell, 1950)
At 100+ pages, it's a handsome volume. There's both a Mickey Mouse and a Chip'n'Dale story by Paul Murry but three Carl Barks' Donald Duck adventures all but own the book, particularly the exceptional "Vacation Time"...

I hope they go full impossible stupid with Three Jokers. It's been so dull so far but they can still pull out, y'know, the Joker? It's Batman. All three Jokers are Batmans. All the Batmans are clones and Batmans become Jokers, Batmans and Jokers all the way down...

Just finished: Thor Annual #18. Much discussion is made around Herb Trimpe's Liefeld impression in Fantastic Four Unlimited, but how about Grindberg and Nyberg doing a dynamic Mignola-meets-Kirby spectacle here. The Venn diagram for all three artists overlaps anyway, but still!

Just finished: Blackhawk No.263. Goddamn. In this issue, Stan is tested as leader while the Nazi's monstrous War Wheel is unleashed from a mysterious berth in the sky. Meanwhile, Blackhawk confronts the killer Domino, whose whole tragic life story is told and also she gets shot.
