Some of My Friends Read Comics 186 – Batman by Alan Grant + Superman: For All Seasons #4

With the recent passing of Alan Grant, we take a look back at some of the 80’s Batman he wrote alongside John Wagner in Detective Comics #583-586, which feature the first appearances of Scarface & The Ventriloquist in the first story and then The Ratcatcher in the next.

They’re two quick, fun Batman stories that go down smooth, with nice art by Norm Breyfogle too!

Then we finish our read of Superman For All Seasons by Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale with issue #4: Winter! Superman gets his groove back by making a snow angel and stopping a classic winter flood.

Some of My Friends Read Comics 184 – Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Return to New York + Superman: For All Seasons #2

We’ve got Turtle Fever! The new TMNT game reminded us how great the Ninja Turtles are, so we go back to Eastman and Laird’s original series to read the now classic Return to New York story from issues 19-21. Why is it so classic? There’s a worm-filled Shredder. Nuff said.

We then continue our long-read of Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale’s Superman for All Seasons with issue #2, the Summer issue. It’s hot outside too! How topical!

Some of My Friends Read Comics 183 – The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask Manga + Superman: For All Seasons #1

A couple years ago we read the Ocarina of Time manga, so we thought we’d revisit the Zelda series with the sequel, Majora’s Mask.

Zelda’s not even in this story and Link might be dead, or maybe dreaming, or maybe he just fell in a big hole. We’re not sure, but we know there are monkeys and that’s cool.

We also start our next long-read: the 4-part Superman for All Seasons by Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale, in which we get a nice little retelling of Superman’s origin.
