Dan and Marcel have a conversation about the importance of comics in the 80's, specifically around the year 1986. Which comics and creators made history, shifted the landscape of the industry, and are still having an impact on what we read today?
We occasionally refer to an article that sparked this conversation, 1986, The Year That Changed Comics, a very informative and thought-provoking piece.
Once again, DC Comics made an announcement that darn near cracked the internet in half. New mini-series' are coming out based on the characters from Watchmen, written and drawn by some of the best talent the industry has to offer.
Naturally, the Alan Moore and the fans had something to say about that. And so do we.
This pretty much sums everything up. Run, Dave Gibbons, run.
We also give an update on the state of Robert Kirkman & Rob Liefeld's book, The Infinite. Hint: it's not good news.
We managed to squeeze in a few book reviews as well: Walking Dead 93, Justice League Dark 5, Voodoo 5, I,Vampire 5, Lobster Johnson: The Burning Hand 1, Prophet 21 and Secret Avengers 21.1.
