Josh Looks Back at John Byrne’s Great (Unfinished) West Coast Avengers Epic!
After reading for the first time the first few years’ worth of stories from the old West Coast Avengers comics (in the handsome new collected editions that Marvel has been publishing for the past few years — click here, here, here and here for my reviews), I decided to com
From the Mighty Marvel Archives: The West Coast Avengers!
Surprising myself most of all, I’ve been really enjoying Marvel’s recently-published hardcovers collecting the early issues of their Avengers spin-off, The West Cost Avengers. (I wrote about my thoughts on the collection of the original West Coast Avengers mini-series here
DC’s Infinite Crises — Part Three!
My rollicking journey through several years-old DC Comics events continues! I’ve already written about Identity Crisis here and Infinite Crisis here, so now my attention turns to Grant Morrison’s 2008 mini-series Final Crisis. Final Crisis — Vastly superior to 2005

More fun from the Mighty Marvel Archives!
A few weeks ago I wrote about the collected editions I’d ben reading of old, classic Marvel Comics story-lines. Here are some more of the Mighty Marvel collections I’ve been reading lately! West Coast Avengers: Sins of the Past — Picking up right where the previous
From the Mighty Marvel Archives!
I’ve written before about what a sucker I am for the gorgeous Premiere Hardcovers that Marvel Comics has been issuing for the past number of years, collecting seminal story-lines from their long history. I grew up a HUGE fan of Marvel Comics (I have always been more attached t
