"We found ourselves holding our breath almost in expectancy, as though we might stand on the threshold of a great event, transfixed in the portentious moment of waiting, although inwardly we were perturbed since this new, awesome, orchestration of time and space which surrounded us might be only the overture to something else, to some most profoundly audacious of all these assaults against the things we had always known." ~Angela Carter

F.O.O.M. #1, #2, and #3 are live!
This past Tuesday, Comics Bulletin launched a new series of columns that I hope will continue to build as the weeks go on. It's called FOOM (Flashbacks of Ol' Marvel), and features CB writers crafting columns that discuss their favorite Marvel Comics issues and/or storylines from the past.
Jason Sacks kicked it off with a nice and focused column about a Black Panther storyline from the early Seventies: "Panther's Rage!"
This was followed by Dave Wallace putting together a very nice commentary on The Amazing Spider-Man #32 (Vol. 2) and how it got him into reading comics.
And I posted a long, not-very-well-constructed essay, summarizing the saga of Deathlok the Demolisher, through five different titles and over 10 years or so. It's the dud of the bunch, to be quite honest.
But don't let that stop you from checking them out!
Hopefully, there will be more of the good stuff to come!
