"The Lindbergh Child (Treasury of XXth Century Murder)" by Rick Geary

WORTH CONSUMING!

A great read. This is a book for people who love comics, but are afraid to read them in public.

I want to read the entire series.

Worth Consuming.

Essential Spider-Woman, volume 1

I remember owning many of these issues when I was real young. Like 2,3,4. Do I remember anything other than the pictures? Not a bit. But I did like them. I think it had to do with being big on Spider-Man at the time.

So now, 30 years later, I’m back giving them the ole college try. Some of these issues are really good, especially the Marvel two-in-one issues, and the first 7 issues of Spider-woman. But when she starts to become a bounty hunter, the series loses it spark some. The interesting thing about this series is the weirder the story, the better. Plots involving a killer clown, Werewolves, and spies are really kitschy. But, involve an ego-maniac trying to take over L.A. and I couldn’t care less.

BTW, is it just me, or does anything think that the Shroud is a huge knock-off of Batman???

"Star Trek #13 (DC Comics 1989-1996, 2nd Series)"

NOT WORTH CONSUMING

So Billy Mumy is writing the issue and the cover says “Danger, Danger!” what do you expect? The crew of the Enterprise meeting the Space Family Robinson, right?

Wrong. Dead Wrong. Instead we get this family of people called the Worthy, who look like trashy Andorians and have a plotline similar to the “Bread and Circuses” story in which earth gods travel to other planets only to often misuse their powers.  In other words, I thought this story stunk. What’s worse, I’ve got to sit through at least 1 issues of these “Worthy”. That in itself is the real “Danger, Danger, Will Robinson”.

"Marvel Adventures The Avengers Volume 4: The Dream Team Digest (Marvel Adventures)"

WORTH CONSUMING!

Finally, some info on the origin of Giant-girl and a little clarity about her place in Marvel Canon.

   Some really good stories in this volume. Thor was grossly underused. The Kang story was very clever. And Wolverine’s reaction when Capt. gives him temporary leadership of the Avengers was hilarious.

"Star Trek #11 (DC Comics 1989-1996, 2nd Series)"

WORTH CONSUMING!

The courtroom goes insane when witnesses for the Klingons enter the courtroom- ending with the appearance by the Gangster race encountered in the original series episode, “A Piece of the Action”

All great fun, and for once- the cover actually is truthful to content inside the book.

Worth Consuming.

Star Trek #12 (DC Comics 1989-1996, 2nd Series)

WORTH CONSUMING!

If you’re a Klingon, the last thing you should ever do is insult Kirk’s son, who was killed by Klingons while defending Spock and Saavak.

The trial of Kirk comes to a close. This 3-issue arc is like Christmas for any Trek fan and is very much worth consuming!!!

"Star Trek #10 (DC Comics 1989-1996, 2nd Series)"

WORTH CONSUMING!

In Star Trek IV, the Klingons demanded the Kirk be brought to trial for his actions in the Search For Spock. Finally, after the fiasco of the Nasgul’s attempted hit on Kirk, the Klingons get their chance.

Lots of great cameos and nostalgia.
