DetailsWelcome back to Strange Times & Places, where we’re celebrating the opening of the Power Rangers movie this past weekend. To that end, I found the most Power Ranger-y alternate universe story I could (other than the actual alternate universe Power Rangers story currently ongoing in their monthly book) – Marvel Mangaverse: Avengers Assemble! #1!…
DetailsWelcome once again to a brand spanking new RETRO REVIEW! And this week it’s time to take a look at a Marvel Comics book or two, okay maybe three! So without further ado, I bring you The Mighty Thor # 179 through # 1981. Issue # 179 is cover dated August 1970, # 180 is…
DetailsWelcome to Tokusatsu Gesundheit, where we’re deviating heavily from the usual format to talk about an American feature film still in theaters right now. However, it’s not every summer that an American studio knocks it out of the park with a Kaiju picture, much less one set in the wider Godzilla franchise, so Kong: Skull…
DetailsI am often looking at 1960’s and 70’s collectibles in my Fabulous Finds, but this week, I thought I’d pull out something a little more recent. So for your , hopefully, enjoyment, I present the 1993 Tick M.O.A.V. Fan Club Kit. It’s copyright Ben Edlund / NEC Press Inc. NEC, I believe, stands for New…
DetailsWelcome back to Strange Times & Places, where we examine comics and other media that answer the question “what if”. Seeing as FX’s Legion has made David “Legion” Haller far more popular than he’s ever been before, we’re looking at What If? #77, “What if Legion Had Killed Magneto?” How’s It Different? This, like most…
DetailsThis week, I’m looking at an independent comic book. So digging for something unusual, I’ve unearthed, Tex Benson # 1, published in 1986, from a little known comic book company called, Metro Comics. Metro Comics seems to be the comic book publishing arm of S.Q. Productions, Inc., owned by Sal Quartuccio. S.Q. Productions was mostly…
DetailsWelcome to Tokusatsu Gesundheit, where today we’re examining another modern, nostalgia-driven remake of a 70s series. This time, it’s Karate Robo Zaborgar. Plot Rundown The criminal syndicate known as Sigma is out to conquer the world and only Japanese secret policeman Yutaka Diamon stands in their way. With the help of his robot partner/motorcycle/kind-of sibling…
DetailsI’m hungry, but I need to write this week’s Fabulous Find. So maybe I should combine the two! This week I bring to you, the 1976 Marvel Lunchbox. It’s a metal lunchbox made by Aladdin Industries and it features Marvel Comics’ characters on all six (6) sides. Plus it’s got a cool, plastic thermos…
DetailsWelcome back to Strange Times & Places, where this week you’re in for a bit of a mind-flip, because we’re looking at Timeslip: The Collection. How’s It Different? This is a slightly strange example, since it’s a For Want of a Nail story…applied to the real world. Timeslip was a feature that ran in Marvel…

DetailsOkay fans, it’s time for a new RETRO REVIEW. Yippee Kay Ai! And this week, it is time to visit the DC Comics portion of the secret comic book vault buried in a super secret location (think Superman’s Fortress of Solitude) ((or if you’re even older, think Doc Savage’s Fortress of Solitude)). Wait a minute,…
