  • 248 - Starman by James Robinson & Tony Harris + Thunderbolts #21
    Jul 26 2025

    It's time for some Starman!

    We're taking a look at James Robinson's 1995 reboot of the golden age character with art from Tony Harris, and we get to meet FIVE Starmen in this book!

    He's not exactly a household name. I barely even knew there was one Starman. We learn all about them in issues 0-5.

    Then we're continuing with Thunderbolts #21, where Hawkeye is offering to lead the team!

    Next Time: Superman Smashes the Klan!

  • 247 - Wolverine by Claremont & Miller + Thunderbolts #20
    Jun 21 2025

    When you mix Chris Claremont with Frank Miller, you get Wolverine and ninjas. It's as simple as that.

    We're taking a look at Wolverine's first self-titled comic, a 4-issue mini-series from 1982 where Logan goes to Japan and lots of people die.

    Then the Thunderbolts start heading in a new direction with issue #20, where a surprise guest wants to join the team!

  • 246 - Batman: Creature of the Night by Kurt Busiek & John Paul Leon + Thunderbolts #19
    Jun 6 2025

    Hot on the heels of Kurt Busiek's take on a real-world(ish) Clark Kent, we're reading his Batman focused followup called Creature of the Night from 2017, with art by John Paul Leon.

    We meet a young kid in a non-superhero world named Bruce Wainwright who's obsessed with Batman comics, and that doesn't really change after his parents get murdered by robbers.

    So what's the deal with this Batman that starts showing up immediately?

    Then we move onto Thunderbolts #19, featuring the winner of the Wizard Create-A-Villain contest!

    Next Time: Wolverine (1982) by Chris Claremont & Frank Miller
