Genderqueer parent and community college STEP coach. I also wrote Forgotten All-Star: A Biography of Gardner Fox! My next big project is a biography for Jerry Bails, who is often referred to as the father of comic book fandom.

Now that both movies have been out on streaming for a couple weeks, I thought I would add my two cents to the discussion around Superman and The Fantastic Four: First Steps. I liked First Steps far more than this makes it sound! 😅

The Books With Pictures here in Eugene has become my favorite shop and I have heard nothing but good things about its sister location. These are the comic shops we need to stay open.

There were probably better films this year, but none we needed more, I think.

TOP 10 COMIC BOOKS
# 2
HAWKMAN 4
This is the 1964 first appearance of Zatanna
$516(F) ⬆️ $59
🔥🔥🔥🔥
FACT: James Gunn makes a casual Zatanna-positive remark and there's a buying spree of early appearances. Still, not a lot of available copies at any given time of Hawkman 4.

This month's "Books With Pals" is on Absolute Wonder Woman and I am so glad I finally gave it a try. I wasn't interested in the premise because I didn't want a hard-core, sword-wielding Wonder Woman, but that was a misjudgment. Y'all were right to give it so much praise.

I am sure they were going for Skeleton Captain America fighting skeleton Black Panther, but it looks a lot more like Cap is giving Black Panther a lap dance to me. 😂 🤷
