Aquaman #1 - written by Jeremy Adams. Not bad, if not as good as the last two "first issues" from the New 52 and Rebirth eras, though both of those were essentially the same series since one lead right into the other, and we've since had a break. Aquaman no longer looks like Jason Momoa, ...

Finishing up GL/GA #87 What Can One Man Do? Script - Elliot Maggin Pencils - Neal Adams Inks - Dick Giordano It's nice to see a short history of Green Arrow kick off this backup story, complete with the fact that Oliver Queen used to be wealthy. We even get the beardless GA in his old costume in one...

I remember seeing reruns of TAS on Nickelodeon when I was little. Although the only two I remember the plots of are "The Eye of the Beholder" and "The Ambergris Element". We had a recording of those, so I watched them many times growing up. I appreciated that they had aliens and...

Green Lantern/Green Arrow #87 December 1971-January 1972 Beware My Power! Script - Denny O'Neil Pencils - Neal Adams Inks - Dick Giordano John Stewart makes his debut in this issue, giving us our fourth human GL after Charley Vicker and Guy Gardner. John fits into the social issues themed book that...

I've seen bits and pieces of this show way back when, but I don't remember any of the plots, so I'm essentially watching most of it for the first time.

Continuing Batman #92... Batman's Guilty Neighbor! Script: Dave Wood Pencils: Sheldon Moldoff Inks: Charles Paris For a while I was keeping up with descriptions of Bruce Wayne's house in the first couple of Golden Age omnibuses. It was in a neighborhood, but had a very large yard around it, and befo...

Batman #92 June 1955 Fan-Mail of Danger! Script: Bill Finger Pencils: Sheldon Moldoff Inks: Charles Paris Once again, only in this era! Modern Batman wouldn't waste his time answering fan-mail, even if he gets it. This really is an absurd premise for a story, and written by Bill Finger no less. Thi...

Detective Comics #220 June 1955 The Second Batman and Robin Team! Script: Bill Finger Pencils: Dick Sprang Inks: Charles Paris Now relax upon those chairs, and I'll use the hypnotic time-science I've mastered to send you across time! - NOT Carter Nichols! Both the cover and the splash page set up t...

Detective Comics #219 May 1955 Gotham City's Strangest Race! Script: Bill Finger Pencils: Sheldon Moldoff Inks: Charles Paris Strictly speaking, the title should be "Millville's Strangest Race" since the bulk of the story takes place there, not in Gotham. The cover of the omnibus is taken...
