And Gerber was odd throughout his previous run. The problems collected in Defenders Epic Collection: World Gone San aren’t that the book ultimately hit the most flashy Dadaist trail.Gerber was not someone who didn’t know what would make Marvel strange. He handed over the adventure to the terrifying man in 1972, and introduced…
Geoff Johns and Ivan Reis’ Hyde Street are relatively new books, but they’ve won the spinoff with a cleverly crafted, creepy one-shot. The one-shot introduced the world to Miss Goodbody, a fitness guru whose treatment takes a rather terrifying shape. Hyde Street #5 focuses on missing out on Goodboy’s past life and shows what happened to her before she came to Hyde Street.Just as Johns used Hyde Street #4 as an commentary on Hollywood’s Golden Age, and how it wasn’t “golden” for the actor that made a hole in the role, Hyde Street #5 is a takedown of 80’s dining…

Batgirl #6 by Tate Brombal and Takeshi Miyazawa is thankfully not the end of this series. However, this issue still functions as a landmark in that the book is six months old! Amazing, love it for my girl. Let’s dig into the content.This really feels like a certain pinnacle. Even if you are technically charged as one, it doesn’t necessarily include six stories wrapped in neat little bows. It feels more like a thematic conclusion than the storyline one, and I’m cool with it! I like long-term formats over the “made for trade” style with long shots, so I can…
