to be continued tomorrow with 25 comics that I need to reread.
Are you counting Eerie/Creepy as two?
Space out the X-FORCE/X-STATIX ones a bit. I love those comics (and Peter Milligan comics about fame and identity, in general), but that attitude can get pretty insufferable if you read too much of it in one go.
Also very good: the X-STATIX/DEAD GIRL mini with Dr. Strange.
For sake of the list, I’m counting Eerie and Creepy as one for now.
So, where is the 25th title?
Don’t know what you’re talking about, Derek. The 25th is there. It always has been.
Yeah, that’s the ticket.
Never mind.
Definitely recommend reading From Hell, which reads as if Moore were writing a contemporary piece on Jack the Ripper in the 19th century. (Mostly due to Campbell’s art). A little dense in places, but it’s Alan Moore.
Also have a soft spot for the original G of the G – the initial story was written by Arnold Drake. It’s atypical 1970s Marvel madness – it’s fun space opera. (In fact, in one issue, it talks about the exciting future where the last space shot was made in….1986! And deodorants killed the ozone layer!)
