Threeboot:The Threeboot era is what really killed the Legion for a lot of people. Not even that it was particularly BAD, but just the fact that fifty years of stories meant NOTHING, yet again- Legion fans had suffered through this once before, and more if you count all the Retcons and “fixes” that just buggered things up further (the origin had been retold about four … Continue reading Jabs Legion Of Superheroes Overview, Part 2
THE LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES: The Legion of Super-Heroes is one of the oldest super-teams in all of comics, and one of its most original ideas. Which is kind of funny, because it was dealt with very off-handedly at first in your typical Superboy adventure. Superboy at the time was basically “The Adventures of Superman when he was a boy!”, and the Legionnaires introduced were just the original … Continue reading Jab’s Reviews: The Legion of Super-Heroes
It’s been a while since I was able to write an article, as the last few weeks have been mayhem. First, I was in beautiful Punta Cana for my sister-in-law’s wedding, and while I was there, my Mac died, so I had to get it fixed upon my return. I’m of two minds on the matter: first of all, thanks to AppleCare, my laptop was … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: Tower of Babel
As I’ve gotten older, I’ve learned more and more about how much I actually really like the character of Superman. For the vast majority of my comic book reading life, I have viewed the big blue boy scout as the apotheosis of boring comic characters. Too powerful, too plain, too unrelatable, and too predictable. I would occasionally read some Superman titles, but if you asked … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: Secret Identity
It’s the fourth entry in our series on the contributors’ of SWO Productions’ favorite artists for certain characters, and can you believe we are at number FOUR in the series before we get to The Bat? Arguably the mot popular comic book character of all time–he’s had NINE solo starring movies, another movie in which his name was in the title, two versions of one … Continue reading Our Favorite Batman Artists
What is this, my…third consecutive DC book? And the two before this stretch were both independent books? I know how the internet works! Accusation of anti-Marvel bias is going to kick in any minute now! Actually, throughout my history here, I have taken pride in maintaining something close to a one-to-one ratio of Marvel-to-DC books (with the odd indie books sprinkled in and my whole … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: Power Girl
The last time I read a modern comic book that starred Conner Kent, the results were… less than ideal. So less than ideal that I’ve been scared off of reading the ongoing title of one of my favorite characters (Tim Drake: Robin) because the same writer has been at the helm of that series. But things are different now! No longer under the Dark Crisis … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: Superboy: Man Of Tomorrow
The weekend is over, and thus my second ever visit to New York Comic Con is in the books! My visit to one of the great comic conventions was planned in a rush less than a month before the show, so I was only able to attend one day this year, Saturday the 14th, but it was a very full day of exploring the Javitts … Continue reading New York Comic Con 2023 Review
I just signed up for the DC Universe Streaming Service! I put this off for a while, but eventually my desire to see if the Young Justice cartoon is as good as I had always heard won out. And when I went to the site to see what all was offered and spied all the comics free to stream? Well, that was the decisive blow. … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: Hunter/Prey
I kind of occasionally regret that I’m, so bad at watching television shows. But they are such a huge commitment, and I’m already smack dab in the middle of watching the entirety of Buffy The Vampire Slayer. I’d almost always really rather watch movies. But I remember really enjoying the first season-and-a-half of CW’s Stargirl show. Brec Basinger really nailed the role of Courtney Whitmore, … Continue reading Stargirl: The Lost Children review
Welcome to a new feature here at SWO Productions! Some of our contributors will be getting together with me to review each of our favorite artists for some of the most popular comic book characters of all time. These characters have existed in the culture for decades, and the number of amazingly talented artists that have leant their abilities to them is absurd. But who … Continue reading Our Favorite Superman Artists
I feel like I read the original DCeased story arc a few years ago for my previous podcast venture, but I’m not actually 100% sure. The past was so long ago, you know. I do definitely recall having read it; what I don’t remember is whether I talked about it or not. DCeased was basically DC’s attempt at a Marvel Zombies style story where the … Continue reading DCeased: War Of The Undead Gods Review
I covered the Death of Superman a few months back, and I had previously forgotten that, while it may not be an objectively well-made book, I really did enjoy it. It’s a delightful bang-up of a comic. But what’s more, I really dig some of the stuff it wrought in its wake. So we’re moving on to what will be part two in a… hmmm… … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: Return of Superman
By the time you read this, I will hopefully have had the DC Universe streaming service for a few months. I haven’t purchased it yet, but I probably will by the time the weekend passes. What brought on the desire to get the service is that I have wanted to watch Young Justice for quite a while, but I had never found a service that … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: For The Man Who Has Everything
Is Ollie’s a national chain, or is it somewhat local? Do you know what Ollie’s is? It’s terrific. They have the cheapest random assortment of stuff in the world. It’s an occasional boon for finding discontinued Pop-Tarts for the Pop-Tart Quest. But beyond that, they just have so much great stuff. Including discounted comic books sometimes! I went out to Ollie’s last night, and they had … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: JSA – Mixed Signals
