Remember when Superman killed his boss?

Clark Kent slugs his editor, Perry White, on the back of the head hard enough to knock him out. "I hate to do this to poor old Perry -- but I can't let him learn my true identity."

Hama still represents the wellspring, certainly. but rewatching the GI Joe cartoon makes me appreciate again the fact that Steve Gerber used the show to explain to kids succinctly - in 22 minutes! - how the global petro-economy could be ground to a halt with control of shipping choke points.

in which Atlantis Attacks reaches a troublesome nadir - a crossover chapter starring a team who weren’t on Earth at the time, featuring a slew of new characters who were immediately shuffled off to Limbo … it’s chapter nine, the furniture is beginning to shake.

Review excerpt - We begin with the acknowledgment that the X-books were behind the eight ball in terms of participation in crossovers. The regular X-Men were believed dead at the time, and we saw how their Annual sidestepped the problem by giving them a side quest where they fought the Serpent Society. But the summer of 1989 also saw both X-Factor and the New Mutants enmeshed in extended off-world adventures: X-Factor were halfway across the universe fighting the Judgement War, the New Mutants in Asgard, and neither team returned to Earth until year's end, long after Atlantis had finished Attacking.
Our specimen today even begins with the New Mutants looking for X-Factor and their giant Ship, but X-Factor are still in space and nowhere to be found - or, at least, nowhere to be found at the present moment, we'll see how X-Factor squares this circle next time around.

New Mutants Annual #5, cover by Rob Liefeld. But I would bet you money there’s some Romita paste-ups on here.

A rather splendid Brian Bolland ad for a Palitoy take on Darth Vader’s T.I.E. Fighter, from Dec 1st 1979’s Look-In. I’ve never seen this particular Bolland take on Star Wars merchandise before, and his ads for the franchise during the period are always fun.

in which we crack open another milestone - my first real exposure to The Good Duck Man in all his glory, with Donald and the boys on a full-length road trip to a hidden valley of dinosaurs, all to stop a fiendish tycoon from cornering the market on … pickled rutabagas? it’s a living, one supposes.

Review excerpt - This comic book right here stands as my first exposure to Barks in his glory - a full-length Donald Duck adventure from 1957, featuring Donald and the boys once again shipping off to South America, this time to find a lost valley of dinosaurs hidden in the Amazon basin. What's more, the issue carries a backup text feature which proved extraordinarily influential for young me, containing as it does an extended digest compiling many years of Barks' own correspondence, constructed from sources at the Walt Disney Archives. It outlines the master's life and career: he never actually traveled much, and his employment options had been limited by sinus problems that forced him to quit his job at the Disney studios in order to relocate to the dryer desert of San Jacinto, there to try his hand full-time at the comics work in which he'd already been dabbling.

Kenshiro could, no question - he’s already the son Odin wishes he had. Jonathan Joestar probably could, but none of his descendants come close. Gear Five Luffy is a god of freedom so yes, but probably not regular Luffy, and not a soul else aboard that ship.
