Decided to just group all three annuals together rather than when they came out a month at a time. I’m pretty sure from here on it’s going to be a blind read for a bit barring a random issue or two.
Simple and to the point.
Yup and all can get from cheap bins!
One of three perfect single Marvel Comics issues along with:
Now just down to issue 2 and then I’ll have all 125 issues
If I had a nickel for every Superman/Mr. Miracle team-up where Scott was looking down in a skylight, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird it’s happened twice.
Nothing like listening back weeks later to realize the phrase I should have used to describe Quarrel and Crackerjack’s relationship is “Team-Up with Benefits.”
So far it’s been a good read overall, granted I’m still in parts I’ve read before so I know what to expect.
Poor Tellus is missing.
New episode up! @jsa4e.bsky.social and I talk one of the best Astro City stories, The Tarnished Angel!

It has Dr. Light!?
The only Justice League Identity Crisis I need.
A two-parter editorial ABSOLUTELY should have told Byrne “No!” on.
This was such a great, disgusting villainous tale for Lex.
The Legion plucked Clark out in high school and was only Superboy in the future and mind wipe each time. Plucked out during his early Superman time and just yadda yadda them as kids they were in early 20s whole time and are youthful for longer in 30th century.
Regardless of everything else, the pocket universe is an incredibly rickety explanation that has never worked for me, and there were easier explanations.
I think this is the first actual reference to Pete Ross since the reboot?
This is still a great team shot of the Legion.
This series needs more credit.
… w/o dumping everything else. So far in this read there’s not be enough changes that I don’t think the hard cut was needed. Byrne coming on inherently brings on a newer energy to the books that was needed. A softer reboot would have been better for DC continuity as a whole.
When I say softer reboot: Ma & Pa still alive, Clark is more real ID, CEO Lex (doesn’t have to known Clark), depowered, younger & hipper. But still Superboy, doesn’t go to Fortress b/c following Kara’s death doesn’t want to be alone anymore even if not talking about it, emphasis on what you want…
Even as a non-smoker, I miss seeing casual smoking.
She-Hulk!*
Guess which random 90s issue with Toyman I have read.
Knowing the places they will take her is going to be interesting seeing how that goes.

This is not the only time Stan ever wrote over a panel with this description, and I hate it every time.
Not in a Jack and Stan comic Ben.
Dang, got my timeline messed up. Thanks!
