Marriage in DC and Marvel: Lois and Clark, Peter and Mary Jane

September 11, 2011August 17, 2016 Walt

There are many changes coming to the DC Universe in September. Information on the “New 52” is being released and some previous suspicions are being confirmed. One in particular involves Superman and Lois Lane. Lois has been the love interest for Superman/Clark Kent since they all first appeared in 1938’s Action Comics #1. Their courtship lasted decades and finally they were married in 1996’s Superman: The Wedding Album. Now after fifteen years, the marriage will be over. This is something quite popular in the comic world right now with the…

Superman #713 “Must There Be a Superman?”

July 18, 2011August 21, 2016 Walt

SPOILER WARNING: Superman #713 was not what I expected from a J. Michael Straczynski story line I respect him and his writing skills.

This surely is brought out by the depression he feels from the destruction of…

Thor #9 Review

June 5, 2008October 21, 2016 Walt

J. Michael Straczynski has written a masterful recreation of Asgard with Thor, Balder, Loki and all the wonderful characters from Marvel Norse Mythology. And Olivier Copiel, Mark Morales, Danny Miki have captured the flavor and greatness of Asgard in their art. The Norse Gods should be bigger than life in story and visual art and I really enjoy the direction Straczynski is going with the surprises of a female Loki and the return of Doctor Blake. Plus he includes a story about the fate of his father Odin. A good…
