The third part of the Convergence crossover takes place in Challengers of the Unknown #6. This is more of a standalone story than the other titles, with the Gemworld connection not really made apparent until the conclusion of the story. The cover shows the Challengers ducking away from an orb emitting a strange yellow light. [...] Here’s a brief story about library staff who claim they were fired for not allowing an 11 year old to check out League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. There seems to be an odd amount of grandstanding going on in the article. The second issue of the Convergence crossover takes place in Night Force #8. The cover shows The Child attacking Prince Topaz. Poor Topaz. I made fun of him so much in the main Amethyst series, but he really really doesn’t deserve what happens to him in this crossover. Night Force is about a [...] The 90s were an awkward time for comic books.

The cover shows Amethyst soaring above Topaz Keep. The text on the cover says “The Last Enchantment!” and the title of the issue is “After the Fall.” The issue opens at the Diamond Vatican, the rebuilt dwelling of the diamond priests. All remaining [...] The cover of this issue shows a giant ghostly purple Amethyst looming in the background as the brothers Donal and Mordu square off for a fight. The text on the cover says “The Sacrifice!” The title of the issue is “Bloody Sun at Noon.” That all sounds fairly ominous, doesn’t it? When [...] Prince Valiant Volume 1: 1937-1938 by Hal Foster Fantagraphics is reprinting Hal Foster’s classic Sunday strip Prince Valiant in handsome hardcover editions. I’m semi-familiar with Prince Valiant because my Mom is a fan, but I don’t remember reading any of the earliest comics. It was interesting to see how the comic developed in its [...] Power Pack Classic Volume 1 by Louise Simonson and June Brigman This is a title I read as a kid that I’m excited to see in print again. Although Power Pack has had new adventures, this trade paperback reprints the first 10 issues of the series from 1994. Alex, Julie, Jack, and Katie Power [...] |
