Great series! Milligan is a hall-of-famer to me. Shade, Enigma, X-Statix, and some truly great Batman stories

Also, I'd suggest Dinosaur Jr as a 90s band that's come back with a run of strong albums in the last few years (although I don't know if anyone buys them but me)

I think some of it is that people don't buy albums anymore! Whereas the 90s were a peak for CD sales

Great essay! DeMatteis' Captain America was one of my favorites as a kid and Arnold Toth was a terrific character. Glad to see he is not forgotten by you or by Anthony Oliviera - I will have to check Avengers Academy out

Beautiful art, and that one bit with the crossword is a great scene, but yeah, this one didn’t hit for me. I always assumed I was missing something because I wasn’t well-read or lacking some cultural context

RJ is great on profiling some key band members and their individual contributions. McBride’s book is wonderfully written and provides some helpful correctives to some James Brown myths, plus it gets more into JB’s political / economic / sociological impact. But the best thing I’ve ever read about…

Great list - lots of deep cuts I'll spend the rest of the day checking out. I appreciate the honorable mention for Oklahoma USA. But where is Do It Again?

My dad put a hole in a rubber ball and mounted it on the top of my Atari 2600 joystick to make it more comfortable for my little kid hands. When I learned to drive stick shift years later, I was already acclimated to the feel of the gear shifter (and I still drive stick today, too)

I'm just glad that there are still 100s of George Perez comics I have yet to read! What an amazing body of work - so, so good for so, so long

As a kid, I would just skip over everything that wasn’t superheroes on the spinner rack. Now I look back with longing at all those Sgt Rocks and King Conans I passed up

Marvel’s barbarian comics were just day in day out plugging away at stunningly high levels of quality throughout the 70s and 80s. DC’s war comics, too.
