Welcome back to Strange Times & Places, where today we’re celebrating the release of Avengers Infinity War this weekend with a look at What If? Infinity: Thanos, which asks the question “What If Thanos Joined The Avengers?” How’s It Different? It’s a For Want of a Nail story, in which Thanos is tapped by J’Son…
DetailsIn the words of Roy Orbison, I’m lonely and blue on a rainy, cold day in April, when it should be warm and sunny! But it brighten up my day, and hopefully yours, here is this week’s Fabulous Find. Lately I’ve been digging into my fanzine collection and so I’ve unearthed a nice fanzine for…
DetailsWelcome back to 1 out of 5 – Would Recommend, which has been awoken from its eldritch slumber to celebrate the impending release of Avengers: Infinity War. Since it’s the second MCU flick in which Dr. Stephen Strange will play a major role (after his solo flick, natch), we’re watching the good doctor’s first feature…
DetailsHey there everyone! Time for a new RETRO REVIEW and this week it’s time once again to look at Marvel Comics. And with the movie doing so well, I thought I better select a Black Panther comic book, so I chose two, Black Panther # 14, cover dated March 1979 and Black Panther # 15,…
DetailsWelcome back to Strange Times & Places, where we’re a bit bummed about the sad, strange saga that Stan Lee’s golden years are turning into. To that end, we’re looking back to a simpler time and a happier reality – What If? #11, What If the Fantastic Four Were the Original Marvel Bullpen?! How’s It…
DetailsWelcome back to a new Fabulous Find. This week I’ve pulled out another terrific fanzine from my collection, it is The Golden Age # 2, published in 1966 by G.B. Love. Love was very involved in comic fandom during the early days and through the sixties. He is probably most well remembered as the publisher…

DetailsWelcome back to Strange Times & Places, where today we’re going back to high school once again! This time, we’re visiting the Marvel Universe’s unsuccessful analog to the DC Super Hero Girls, 2010’s Marvel Her-oes mini-series. How’s It Different? I’d say this one is an Imaginary Story, with character histories and relationships liberally altered to…
DetailsI’m a little under the weather this week, so I’ve got to hurry this Fabulous Find, so it will be a “down and dirty” review of Abraxas # 1, a fanzine published in 1972 by Rickey Shanklin. It features a pretty cool cover by one of the great amateur fanzine artists that ever put pencil to…
