And albeit this is me, here, the guy who made such a mess of LOEG but [Moore]’s basically saying that comics are dead because they dare to draw from past continuity ... everything of note [Moore]’s written was the reinterpretation of someone else’s work. Marvelman, Swamp Thing, Watchmen (Cha...

The Reread Reviews -- The Last Heroes
The Last Heroes is incomplete. It's also a supposed deconstruction of superheroes that tackles a different approach, but isn't that different or unique. There's a sense of 'been there, read that' with the book. But, it's still a good read -- and a worthwhile read, because Grant and Kane do ap...

Unless you were watching the old Marvel made-for-TV movies in the 1970’s like I was, I don’t think you have any idea how glorious it felt for this aging fan to see these characters realized on the big screen with such care and affection. 3. The Dark Knight. 2. Comics scholarship.
