http://randomlongbox.blogspot.com/2009/06/cerebus-241.html

I remember that Cerebus. Was huge, right as I was getting into comics. I remember either a barbarian Cerebus. Or a Wolverine Cerebus. From my earliest collecting days. Obviously, the beginning issues by that time were way out of my price range, so I never did really start reading. After all, there were. Next up, we get t...

One man's journey through his 50 long boxes. One issue at a time, completely at random. Wednesday, June 24, 2009. Comic Book Review: Captain Atom #85. TITLE: Captain Atom #85. COVER PRICE: $0.35. This book, I'm going in stone cold on. I've never read it before, nor have I ever read any of the original incarnation of the Charlton characters from the 60's. My only experience with them has been from DC Comics, when they were incorporated into the DCU. Crisis on Infinite Earths. Strings of Punch and Jewelee.

COVER DATE: November 1979. COVER PRICE: $0.40. The 70's was an awesome period for The Avengers. For me, it doesn't get any better than this. The stories were fun and fantastic, and moved at a frenetic pace from issue to issue. If that wasn't enough, you had the likes of Neal Adams, George Perez, and John Byrne. So caught up in his ...

COVER DATE: January 1993. COVER PRICE: $1.75. I had recently got on board The Sandman. Bandwagon, and this liked it could be something similar so I gave it a shot. From the first issue I was hooked. I was familiar with John Ostrander. From his work on Grim Jack. And Mandrake were responsible for just about the entire run.

TITLE: Nick Fury, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. #23. COVER DATE: May 1991. COVER PRICE: $1.50. Nick Fury's a badass. That's what I remember. In a perfect world, that's all you need to remember. Unfortunately. The world has not been a perfect place for Nick Fury. I was too young (read not born yet) for the classic Lee/Kirby and Steranko. Has call...

COVER DATE: April 1997. COVER PRICE: $1.95. Heroes Reborn was a linewide. Titles too, although more in the way that you enjoy a good train wreck when you're not actually driving the train. From the beginning. I always liked that idea. For all I know that's the way it was in the 616 universe. Which suits his style p...

COVER DATE: March 1988. COVER PRICE: $0.75. The other day, I didn't even know that I owned this issue so what I remember is pretty much nothing. Short preamble today, so let's just get to the book. We then cut to Steve Rogers in the midst of a nightmare. His foe? It would appear that the hulking form is the embodiment of the...

Garth Ennis is another creator that I've followed a lot. Over the years. I may not always stay with his series, but they're usually worth checking out anyways. The first title that I remember reading from him was Hellblazer. But neither of them were able to top what Ennis had done and I soon moved on. Title that was 60 ...

COVER PRICE: $1.95. I actually don't remember a whole lot about this title, other than it had some killer artwork by Dave Johnson (which I touched upon here already), and that it was more fun than I thought it would be going into it. Erik Larsen's Savage Dragon. Color Separation: Digital Chameleon. SuperPatriot do...

COVER DATE: November 2005. COVER PRICE: $2.50. 2005 was a good year for comics, or at least it was if you were a DC fan. Things started out especially strong at the beginning of the year with the Countdown to Infinite Crisis. The bigger contraversy at the time, however, was how DC pulled it off. Within this supposedly "self-c...
