CRITIQUING COMICS: "Ra no Tabi" is a comic made with (ulp) A.I. The human creator cops to using it for the art, but the story also as an A.I. feel. Is it any good? Is it ethical to present it as "art"? Tim and Adam discuss. deconstructingcomics.com?p=9148

Fantastic Four Annual 1980 (back when they didn't always number annuals "#1"!). I remember this story because FF members get sent forward in time and meet themselves, which blew my 15-year-old mind! A dimension of time travel that I hadn't considered before. What #comics issue is memorable for you?
