Welcome to Litsy!

After the success of StarWars and the associated toys and a Marvel licensed comic, Editor Jim Shooter was looking for the next big toy/comic tie-in. A deal was struck with Parker Brothers and this Omnibus collects the result. It starts off childish, as you might expect, but as the toy was flopping, the comic had its own life & actually gets interesting. Nothing new to see here, but we get an entertaining, paranoid, “Body Snatchers” type thriller.

My latest Little Golden Book rescued from an Op shop.

I liked how much this one added to the first series. It addressed a few questions I had and felt a bit more cohesive compared to the first Marvel Zombies. Still absolutely chaotic 😂

Fun, lighthearted and entertaining.
Featuring vibrant artwork.

I am a fan of the X-MEN comics from the ‘70s and ‘80s. So I missed the whole Krakoa saga when it happened. This book is about the downfall of the Mutant homeland. If you‘re up on all the lore and politics of the rise and fall of Krakoa, then you might enjoy this. I, on the other hand, can‘t get past the ‘bring dead characters back to life‘ pods. Comics are notorious for people coming back from the dead, but this is a bit much.

81/100 Did I need to read yet another Thanos story where he courts Mistress Death and seeks the meaning of life? Not really, but I'm a big fan of Jim Starlin, as writer and artist, so I went in for another round. Typical Thanos, seeking power and coming with a new perspective as to what he really wants. The art was excellent, especially the more psychedelic parts, but the story was only so-so. 3.25/5 ⭐ #Read2025

A mysterious event turns the Earth‘s population into super-humans. Interesting premise, utterly destroyed by terrible framing. The entire book is a dialogue between a Watcher and his apprentice. The complete opposite of the maxim ‘show, don‘t tell‘. The action is stunted and clipped. There are pages of dull text between chapters. The medium is comics. If the author wanted to write a novel, he could have done that instead. Avoid at all costs.

This book is a bible. It‘s the O.G. The first brick in the foundation of all Superhero comics that exist today. The 1st 38 issues of Spider-Man. This weighs nearly 3 kilos. My forearms are like Popeyes after reading it. Steve Ditko‘s art is sublime. It‘s a shame deadlines made it sometimes look rushed. But when he put the effort in, he drew the quintessential Spidey. I met Stan Lee once. I said “I love you Stan”. He said “Thanks” ‘‘Nuff said

Exiled to the planet of Sakaar by Earth‘s heroes, the ship he was sent on explodes, killing his new wife and allies. HULK returns to his home planet seeking revenge on the ones who betrayed him. Amazing sequel to one of the best HULK stories ever. Brutal non-stop action, bathed in emotional resonance. Greg Pak deserves high accolades for these back-to-back masterpieces.

A new group of teens with powers similar to the original X-Men emerges. They are not mutants, but humans wielding alien technology. Can they work as a team against real threats? Can they gain the acceptance of their heroes? A fun addition to the X books, and a new wrinkle in the always simmering conflict between human and mutantkind.
