22. RADIANT BLACK VOL. 6: INFINITE EARTHS: Switching between issues for the split timelines is clever, and goes on just long enough to not wear out its welcome. The Supermassive interlude was a bit confusing but only because I haven’t read those other books yet. (Higgins/Costa et al) (137)

21. MIDNIGHT SPIDER-MAN #1: Body horror has always been kind of underlying thing for Spider-Man- The Six-Arms Saga, Curt Connors, a lot of the symbiote stuff- but this book really turns it up to eleven. A grim twist on the usual origin, which was already pretty grim. (Johnson/Scietronic) (131)

20. MIDNIGHT FANTASTIC FOUR #1: More table-setting but much more of a different (and more frightening) take on the classic FF concept than Midnight X-Men was. Looking forward to more of this one for sure. (Percy/Walker) (130)

19. RADIANT BLACK VOL. 5: CRISIS: The Catalyst War is one of the most believable cosmic crises I’ve encountered in a comic, in the sense that I barely understand what’s happening and that’s how that sort of thing would really go. (Higgins/Costa et al) (129)

18. MIDNIGHT: X-MEN #1: A lot of table setting but good stuff. Just not all that scary for the first issue of a horror-themed line. Also features a moment that falls squarely into my long-held position of “If you don’t like Cyclops, you don’t like superheroes.” (Hickman/Della Fonte) (123)

Late in the 2011 AL Wild Card race, Boston explored the possibility of trading prospects for Chen to start a potential Game 163. He would have been ineligible for the postseason, so would have basically pitched one do-or-die game for Boston. If it had happened there'd be a movie about it by now.

Look for a deeper exploration of this in my upcoming memoir “Midlife Crisis on Infinite Earths.”

... and that “my” preferred version of the DC Universe and its primary characters is either too new (for the older guys making the stuff) or too old (for the majority of the people watching and talking about the stuff.)

Lanterns and a lot of the discourse about it has made me realize that my DC Comics fandom exists in this weird gray area where most of the people making the shows and movies are a little bit older than me, and most of the people posting about it on the Internet are a little bit younger than me...

16. INFINITY (plus AVENGERS and NEW AVENGERS tie-ins): Something else I read as it came out and have very little memory of, and I realize now that I have very little memory of it because it reads like the trailer for a version of itself that's three to four times as long. (Hickman et al) (116)

I read this as it came out and have forgotten a lot of it, but could never forget this immediate classic moment.

15. NEW AVENGERS (2013) #1-7: The introduction of the multiversal incursions that would eventually lead to Secret Wars. Hickman makes great use of the Illuminati, swapping in Hank McCoy for Professor X, who was dead at the time. (Hickman et al) (96)

14. RADIANT BLACK VOLUME 4: TWO-IN-ONE: I’m continuing to enjoy the “Massive-Verse” but I suspect there’s some things I’m missing or just haven’t gotten to in the right order yet (most notably what the deal is with Nathan’s backup mask in #19?) But it’s still very good. (Higgins/Costa et al) (89)

13. GREEN LANTERN: KYLE RAYNER VOL. 1: The early adventures of the GL of the 90s. In Kyle’s first eight issues, TWO love interests get killed, his ring gets stolen twice, he meets Wong (yes, that Wong) and puts an alien in the Scorpion Deathlock. Comics are the best. (Marz/Banks et al) (83)

12. AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #1,000: Like most milestone issues this featured some advancement of the title’s actual storyline & a bunch of shorts of varying quality. Dan Slott & Marcos Martin’s closer about a minor character from Amazing Fantasy #15 was (unsurprisingly) the standout. (Various) (73)
