I’ve Got Issues
Each week, Rob Dean looks at some comics of yesteryear to find the fun, weird, wacky, bad, and more.
The Incredible Hulk, #378
Rick Jones tells a story about when Joe Fixit (the gray hulk) fought a mall Santa…who was actually the Rhino in disguise! Holiday hilarity and hitting ensues.
KINGS OF PAIN, PT 4
The final chapter in the four-part KINGS OF PAIN storyline from 1991 that wraps up in X-Factor Annual 6 with an unexpected conclusion.
KINGS OF PAIN, PT 2 and PT 3
Continuing the revisit one of Marvel’s 1991 summer annuals events, KINGS OF PAIN. The New Warriors enter the fray and then it’s a trip over to Muir Island to hang out with (not) The X-Men in this compelling storyline. (Part 2 is in The New Warriors Annual 1 and Part 3 is in The Uncanny X-Men Annual 15)
KINGS OF PAIN, PT 1
First of three parts revisiting Marvel’s 1991 summer annuals event, Kings Of Pain. It all starts off with The New Mutants, Annual 7……even though the New Mutants weren't really a thing anymore at this point.
Marvel’s Nightcat (1992)
A look at the slight Marvel Comics misfire that was “Nightcat” in 1992.
ROCK & RULE (1983)
Rock & Rule’s story is…a blend of PHANTOM OF THE PARADISE, Akira, and 1980’s THE APPLE. But those three great tastes are pretty bland together and made especially worse in comic book form.
Spider-Man: Hooky (2012)
What is Spider-Man: Hooky about? That’s a bit fuzzy. But it has magic, cool monsters, an attempt at a lesson, and a mildly batshit story.
