It would be fun to see all of their personalities clash. ## [Blind Bag Oracle: On Terminal Issues One, Two, Seven, and Ten](https://graphicontent.blogspot.com/2026/08/blind-bag-oracle-on-terminal-issues-one.html) _2026-08-20 · Chad Nevett · GraphiContent_ \[ If you wish to avoid spoilers about Terminal #2, 7, and 10, you may not want to read this piece. \] I’ve been waiting on this comic for a long time. In the spring of 2023, I got an email from Joe Casey asking if I would be up for jumping on a Skype call with him at some point. I’ve been writing about Joe Casey’s comics work for pretty much the entire time I’ve been online writing about comics… ## [Batman and Speed Racer in "The Mechanics!"](https://braveandboldlost.blogspot.com/2026/08/batman-and-speed-racer-in-mechanics.html) _2026-08-20 · Ross · Super-Team Family: The Lost Issues!_ Ah, the Whirly-Bat. It looked so cool but seemed so dangerous. What if Batman stood up before the propellers were off? And doesn't his flapping cape aver get caught in the blades? It was like an accident waiting to happen. Batman and Speed Racer previously met on the blog way back in 2010, one of my earliest covers... ## [Swamp Thing and Tigra](https://braveandboldlost.blogspot.com/2026/08/swamp-thing-and-tigra.html) _2026-08-19 · Ross · Super-Team Family: The Lost Issues!_ A new Swamp Thing movie has been discussed but can't seen to get off the ground. Director James Mangold has expressed interest in directing, which is an encouraging sign. Hopefully any delays and setbacks are due to a desire to get a script and direction for the property just right. ## [Stomping on a Box that I Thought was Empty 03 – Venom #260 and Queen in Black: Thor #1](https://graphicontent.blogspot.com/2026/08/stomping-on-box-that-i-thought-was_01248218770.html) _2026-08-18 · Chad Nevett · GraphiContent_ I’ve mostly been focused on the release schedule and the way it impacts Queen in Black so far. With the first issue delayed by four weeks, pretty much every release for the event’s first month was rescheduled, producing a different impression. Last week, I speculated that the delay may have actually benefited how Queen in Black reads as its various comics come out given how strong the two weeks… ## [Creature Commandos and The Beast](https://braveandboldlost.blogspot.com/2026/08/creature-commandos-and-beast.html) _2026-08-18 · Ross · Super-Team Family: The Lost Issues!_ Creature Commandos is coming back for a second animated season and I will be interested to see where the story goes. Will any more DCU characters be introduced? Will it connect to the upcoming Man of Tomorrow at all? The Beast was just back in the second season of X-Men '97, and will be back in live action soon, as Part of Avengers: Doomsday . Hopefully, he'll get some great moments and won't just… ## [Steel and The Mandalorian](https://braveandboldlost.blogspot.com/2026/08/steel-and-mandalorian.html) _2026-08-17 · Ross · Super-Team Family: The Lost Issues!_ I missed The Mandalorian and Grogu in theatres - my local cinema closed down and now I'm about 40 minutes away from the next closest one. Even though I thought the third season of the series was a step down from the first two, I do enjoy the characters and look forward to checking out their new adventure once it hits Disney+ in a few more weeks. ## [FSC: DREADSTAR #1](https://tombrevoort.com/2026/08/16/fsc-dreadstar-1/) _2026-08-16 · Tom Brevoort · The Tom Brevoort Experience_ In 1982, the comic book marketplace was expanding. The Direct Sales network of comic book specialty shops had proven itself as a viable alternative to mainstream newsstand distribution, and so suddenly all sort of publishers were jumping into this new market with a variety of releases, some more polished than others. It was an exciting … Continue reading FSC: DREADSTAR #1 → ## [BC: BATTLESTAR GALACTICA #1](https://tombrevoort.com/2026/08/16/bc-battlestar-galactica-1/) _2026-08-16 · Tom Brevoort · The Tom Brevoort Experience_ My grade school friend David Steckel was a huge fan of the science fiction media of the time, in particular STAR WARS and BATTLESTAR GALACTICA. In fact, that’s a huge part of how we became friends in the first place. Having seen me making my own home-grown comic books, David wanted to enlist my help … Continue reading BC: BATTLESTAR GALACTICA #1 → ## [BHOC: AVENGERS #19](https://tombrevoort.com/2026/08/16/bhoc-avengers-19/) _2026-08-16 · Tom Brevoort · The Tom Brevoort Experience_ One of the things that the Batcave comic book shop was notable for during this late 1970s period was in having affordable copies of relatively old and key comics. These were typically more well-read copies, but for my purposes, i didn’t care. there was some elusive magic in holding an actual vintage book from a … Continue reading BHOC: AVENGERS #19 → ## [Pirate.io on Google Play (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/tXHnOwS6LB86) _2026-08-16 · **Sponsored**_ Open the Pirate.io listing on Google Play to view the app’s details. ## [The Warriors Three and Superman](https://braveandboldlost.blogspot.com/2026/08/the-warriors-three-and-superman.html) _2026-08-16 · Ross · Super-Team Family: The Lost Issues!_ It's time for another all-Kirby classic! The Warriors Three got the short end of the stick in the MCU, but who says they can't battle on here in the pages of STF? ## [Lee & Ditko: The Storytelling Snafu of AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #30](https://tombrevoort.com/2026/08/15/lee-ditko-the-storytelling-snafu-of-amazing-spider-man-30/) _2026-08-15 · Tom Brevoort · The Tom Brevoort Experience_ The question of who did what on the early Marvel books is going to be something that’s debated and argued ad infinitum, so long as the characters remain worldwide icons as they’ve become in recent years. Speaking for myself, while I enjoy weighing in on certain aspects of these questions, I’m of the broad belief … Continue reading Lee & Ditko: The Storytelling Snafu of AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #30 → ## [BHOC: MARVEL TALES #20](https://tombrevoort.com/2026/08/15/bhoc-marvel-tales-20/) _2026-08-15 · Tom Brevoort · The Tom Brevoort Experience_ On my unanticipated trip to the Batcave comic book shop that weekend, I needed to make my meager funds stretch to their furthest. There was a cornucopia of back issues laid out before me. But I had only limited money with which to make my purchases. And so one of the books I wound up … Continue reading BHOC: MARVEL TALES #20 → ## [The Punisher and The Equalizer](https://braveandboldlost.blogspot.com/2026/08/the-punisher-and-equalizer.html) _2026-08-15 · Ross · Super-Team Family: The Lost Issues!_ In addition to getting a new aged up T'Challa Jr. in the next Black Panther movie, Denzel Washington is said to have a role in it. Washington is one of my all time favorite actors and he has hinted that this may be his final performance, so I can't wait to see what he and director Ryan Coogler have in store. Thanks to Brian C, a Patron of this Blog , for suggesting this pairing! ## [Aliens Vs. ALF](https://braveandboldlost.blogspot.com/2026/08/aliens-and-alf.html) _2026-08-14 · Ross · Super-Team Family: The Lost Issues!_ Have the Xenomorphs finally met their match? Or will Gordon Shumway get the stuffing kicked out of him? The answer is only 60 cents away! ## [Stomping on a Box that I Thought was Empty 02 – Queen in Black #2 and Queen in Black: Venom Unchained #1](https://graphicontent.blogspot.com/2026/08/stomping-on-box-that-i-thought-was.html) _2026-08-13 · Chad Nevett · GraphiContent_ Last week, I wondered if you should read Queen in Black #2 or Queen in Black: Venom Unchained #1 first given that, in the original release schedule, Venom Unchained was meant to come out several weeks earlier. So, that’s how I read these two issues. Turns out, it didn’t matter, which is nice, I suppose. If it seems weird that I’ve devoted so much attention to the release schedule, I don’t think… ## [Captain Carrot & His Amazing Zoo Crew and Sasquatch](https://braveandboldlost.blogspot.com/2026/08/captain-carrot-his-amazing-zoo-crew-and.html) _2026-08-13 · Ross · Super-Team Family: The Lost Issues!_ It's probably be a while before we see Sasquatch on the big screen, but I hope it eventually happens. A Zoo Crew animated series feels overdue as well! ## [Metamorpho and 3-D Man](https://braveandboldlost.blogspot.com/2026/08/metamorpho-and-3-d-man.html) _2026-08-12 · Ross · Super-Team Family: The Lost Issues!_ Uh oh! It looks like The Grandmaster and Mr. Mxyzptlk are back for another round of their superhero championship! Who will with this round of The Infinity Wager? ## [Daredevil and Rorschach](https://braveandboldlost.blogspot.com/2026/08/daredevil-and-rorschach.html) _2026-08-11 · Ross · Super-Team Family: The Lost Issues!_ This would promise to be a gritty tale that pulls no punches. These are two more characters that I have a hard time imagining working well with one another - but it would certainly be interested to read about. ## [Spider-Man and Flash Gordon](https://braveandboldlost.blogspot.com/2026/08/spider-man-and-flash-gordon.html) _2026-08-10 · Ross · Super-Team Family: The Lost Issues!_ What if Spider-Man had made his debut a few decades earlier? Maybe we would have seen the wall-crawler appearing in some classic movie serials, like the one above. Ah, what could have been! ## [Non-Custodial Crypto Gateway (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/cez4BXgyTv3G) _2026-08-10 · **Sponsored**_ Accept multi-chain crypto, automated fee handling, and trustless escrow with real-time settlement. ## [FSC: MARVEL AGE #1](https://tombrevoort.com/2026/08/09/fsc-marvel-age-1/) _2026-08-09 · Tom Brevoort · The Tom Brevoort Experience_ In 1982, I was still ordering my comics through the mail order service offered by Geppi’s Comic World in Maryland. I didn’t yet have a driver’s license, and my family’s new homestead was in a new development that was too far away from any center of civilization to get to easily by walking or bike-riding. … Continue reading FSC: MARVEL AGE #1 → ## [What If We Kissed on the Blue Area of the Moon? 06 – What If...? Captain America #1](https://graphicontent.blogspot.com/2026/08/what-if-we-kissed-on-blue-area-of-moon_0504306363.html) _2026-08-09 · Chad Nevett · GraphiContent_ “What if Captain America wasn’t revived until 2099?” by Marc Guggenheim, Ron Lim, Andrew Dalhouse, and Clayton Cowles This fucking pap... What If...? Captain America #1 has Captain America revived in the year 2099 with familiar 2099 characters surrounding him somehow. It’s a future ruled by corporations, including one actually occupying the presidency. Captain America is recruited to help… ## [BC: SHAZAM #29](https://tombrevoort.com/2026/08/09/bc-shazam-29/) _2026-08-09 · Tom Brevoort · The Tom Brevoort Experience_ And on and on it went! I continued to steadily eat my way through the complete run of DC’s SHAZAM, which had been lent to me by my grade school friend Donald Sims. I have to say, it’s fun looking back at these issues and seeing how deftly (or not) the editors were in avoiding … Continue reading BC: SHAZAM #29 → ## [BHOC: MEET THE DEALERS #13](https://tombrevoort.com/2026/08/09/bhoc-meet-the-dealers-13/) _2026-08-09 · Tom Brevoort · The Tom Brevoort Experience_ That next weekend, my family had some reason to journey down to the South Shore Mall in search of some time or other that couldn’t be so easily procured closer to home. This was fine by me, as I’d earlier discovered that the mini-strip mall that was adjacent to the main South Shore Mall structure … Continue reading BHOC: MEET THE DEALERS #13 → ## [Guy Gardner and U.S.Agent](https://braveandboldlost.blogspot.com/2026/08/guy-gardner-and-usagent.html) _2026-08-09 · Ross · Super-Team Family: The Lost Issues!_ Oh boy, something tells me that these two hotheads would not get along. Let's hope that they can find a common enemy that will get them fighting on the same side. ## [Brand Echh: WAR DANCER #1](https://tombrevoort.com/2026/08/08/brand-echh-war-dancer-1/) _2026-08-08 · Tom Brevoort · The Tom Brevoort Experience_ The next title that Jim Shooter’s post-Valiant start-up DEFIANT issued was perhaps the strangest series in their line–and that’s saying something. You can’t say that Jim wasn’t trying to chart new ground here. The book was called WAR DANCER, and it was largely the creation of Shooter’s longtime friend artist Alan Weiss. Weiss had been … Continue reading Brand Echh: WAR DANCER #1 → ## [BHOC: SUPERMAN #339](https://tombrevoort.com/2026/08/08/bhoc-superman-339/) _2026-08-08 · Tom Brevoort · The Tom Brevoort Experience_ This was another comic book that my household had two copies of. For whatever reason, my younger brother Ken was apparently on a buying spree, picking up his own copies of books that I’d already purchased. And again here, there isn’t anything so noteworthy about this random issue of SUPERMAN to justify that choice apart … Continue reading BHOC: SUPERMAN #339 → ## [Expansion Team in: "Whatever Lengths Necessary!"](https://braveandboldlost.blogspot.com/2026/08/expansion-team-in-whatever-lengths.html) _2026-08-08 · Ross · Super-Team Family: The Lost Issues!_ Presenting the sixth appearance of the Expansion Team ! I was very happy to hear that Incredibles 3 is in production, it will be great to see more Elasti-Girl action. Reed Richards will be back in Avengers Doomsday , but the trailer shows that he still has that stupid mustache. Either shave it or grow a beard to go with it, Pedro Pascal! ## [Blue Beetle and The Fantastic Four](https://braveandboldlost.blogspot.com/2026/08/blue-beetle-and-fantastic-four.html) _2026-08-07 · Ross · Super-Team Family: The Lost Issues!_ Nothing like a Kirby-Ditko combo to deliver some Silver Age action! Blue Beetle previously met the FF along with Booster Gold in STF #3590 . The FF met the Jaime Reyes Blue Beetle in STF #1632 . ## [Vigilante and Cloak & Dagger](https://braveandboldlost.blogspot.com/2026/08/vigilante-and-cloak-dagger.html) _2026-08-06 · Ross · Super-Team Family: The Lost Issues!_ I'm not sure where the Vigilante identity rests at DC these days. I seem to remember Adrian Chase dying (suicide?) and that there was a female version for a bit. But with all the reboots and restarts, who knows, maybe Chase returned at some point? Or is the character currently in limbo? ## [Crush Every Threat in Real Time (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/pLxlA08VSM1Z) _2026-08-06 · **Sponsored**_ One agent for real-time detection, exposure tracking, and active defense. ## [Blackhawk and The Human Torch](https://braveandboldlost.blogspot.com/2026/08/blackhawk-and-human-torch.html) _2026-08-05 · Ross · Super-Team Family: The Lost Issues!_ It's about time that Blackhawk me some other high-flying heroes from World War II. let's just hope that he can keep his balance up there! ## [Green Lantern Corps Vs. The Wrecking Crew](https://braveandboldlost.blogspot.com/2026/08/green-lantern-vs-wrecking-crew.html) _2026-08-04 · Ross · Super-Team Family: The Lost Issues!_ The new Lanterns trailer was a lot better than the teaser but I still have my reservations about the show. It still feels a bit like it's embarrassed to be a Green Lantern show, and I don't like some of the rumors I've read regarding the fates of some of the characters. Still, it's an HBO series and they are usually well written, and I do like the cast. A lot is riding on this series, so I hope it… ## [What If We Kissed on the Blue Area of the Moon? 05 – What If...? Spider-Man #1](https://graphicontent.blogspot.com/2026/08/what-if-we-kissed-on-blue-area-of-moon.html) _2026-08-03 · Chad Nevett · GraphiContent_ “What if Kraven survived his ‘last hunt’?” by JM DeMatteis, Yildiray Çinar, Alex Sinclair, and Joe Caramagna What If...? Spider-Man #1 is a bit of an anomaly in this year’s crop of What If...? issues in that the writer of it is the writer of the story it’s jumping off from. JM DeMatteis wrote the famous “Kraven’s Last Hunt” story and, here, returns to present an alternate version where, instead of… ## [Sgt. Fury and G.I. Robot](https://braveandboldlost.blogspot.com/2026/08/sgt-fury-and-gi-robot.html) _2026-08-03 · Ross · Super-Team Family: The Lost Issues!_ I'm not sure when Season Two of Creature Commandos is coming out, but it will be interesting to see where G.I. Robot's story will go next once it does. Will he make the leap to live action eventually? only time will tell. ## [Deadman and Wolverine](https://braveandboldlost.blogspot.com/2026/08/deadman-and-wolverine.html) _2026-08-02 · Ross · Super-Team Family: The Lost Issues!_ Thank you to Yuri Volte, a patron of this blog , for suggesting this long overdue team-up! Deadman met Wolverine with the rest of the X-Men in STF #1991 , but I've never featured a cover with just the two of them. There's definitely story potential here. ## [Hawkwoman and Hela](https://braveandboldlost.blogspot.com/2026/08/hawkwoman-and-hela.html) _2026-08-01 · Ross · Super-Team Family: The Lost Issues!_ Hela is one Marvel Villain that I would love to see make a return to the big screen. Cate Blanchett's performance and the visual depiction of the character in Thor: Ragnarok were spot on, and I'd love to hee her intereact with some of the other heroes of the MCU. ## [Stomping on a Box that I Thought was Empty 01 – Queen in Black #1, Queen in Black: Defenders of Light and Dark #1, and Queen in Black: Hela #1](https://graphicontent.blogspot.com/2026/07/stomping-on-box-that-i-thought-was.html) _2026-08-01 · Chad Nevett · GraphiContent_ It’s probably not a great sign when your next big event starts four weeks late. You probably don’t want that to be the first thing that people talk about either. You want people to talk about the spectacle and how cool it is and how fantastic the writing is and the amazing art – or Hel, in this case, the blind bag promotion for the first issue. (If you’re curious, I did grab a blind bag since the… ## [Iron Man and Richie Rich](https://braveandboldlost.blogspot.com/2026/07/iron-man-and-richie-rich.html) _2026-07-31 · Ross · Super-Team Family: The Lost Issues!_ Tony Stark has often clashed with other billionaires, so I don't know how well he's going to take this new development. It might be fun to read about, though! ## [The Destroyer and Batman](https://braveandboldlost.blogspot.com/2026/07/the-destroyer-and-batman.html) _2026-07-30 · Ross · Super-Team Family: The Lost Issues!_ I had to groan when I saw that The Batman Part II has been delayed yet again and now will not come out until 2028. That probably also meant that we won't see Batman join the DCU until after that (if the DCU lasts that long between poor reception and company mergers). Hopefully whatever Matt Reeves has planned will be worth the six year wait for a sequel. ## [Sgt. Rock and Werewolf by Night](https://braveandboldlost.blogspot.com/2026/07/sgt-rock-and-werewolf-by-night.html) _2026-07-29 · Ross · Super-Team Family: The Lost Issues!_ Recently, I found some reasonably priced Artist's Editions on sale an picked them up. These are books that collect full size images of original comic art. One that I got was The Best of DC War , which features lots of Joe Kubert pages. As if I didn't already consider him the best comics artist ever, seeing his techniques up close is truly a thing of beauty. ## [Mr. Terrific enters The Laff-A-Lympics](https://braveandboldlost.blogspot.com/2026/07/mr-terrific-enters-laff-lympics.html) _2026-07-28 · Ross · Super-Team Family: The Lost Issues!_ This cover comes about at she result of a suggestion by Marc Tyler Nobleman, comics' historian and Patron of this Blog . Thanks, Marc! I'm looking forward to Mr. Terrific's return in Man of Tomorrow, hopefully he will get another cool solo action scene. ## [What If We Kissed on the Blue Area of the Moon? 04 – What If...?

Look, there are some strong bits in this issue, pretty much any of the flashbacks to the time right after Jessica Jones got bitten by the radioactive spider instead of Peter Parker. And I do admire the central conceit being that Peter Parker is a… ## [The Beast & Wonder Man Vs. The Brotherhood of Evil](https://braveandboldlost.blogspot.com/2026/07/the-beast-wonder-man-vs-brotherhood-of.html) _2026-07-27 · Ross · Super-Team Family: The Lost Issues!_ Of all of the X-Men returning for Avengers: Doomsday , I am looking forward to seeing The Beast the most. He was cool in X3 , but we didn't get to see him in nearly enough action scenes. Hopefully that will be remedied in this new appearance. ## [Dick Tracy and The Atom (Part Three)](https://braveandboldlost.blogspot.com/2026/07/dick-tracy-and-atom-part-three.html) _2026-07-26 · Ross · Super-Team Family: The Lost Issues!_ For the conclusion of this Three-Part Epic, we get our third Atom and the revelation as to who has been behind these time twisting shenanigans! Let's hope Tracy and Choi can put an end to Chronos' evil plans! ## [Dick Tracy and The Atom (Part Two)](https://braveandboldlost.blogspot.com/2026/07/dick-tracy-and-atom-part-two.html) _2026-07-25 · Ross · Super-Team Family: The Lost Issues!_ For the second part of this three-part epic, We see that Tracy has tracked down Ray Palmer's whereabouts. Who is the secret villain behind this case? Make sure you return tomorrow for the thrilling conclusion! ## [Dick Tracy and The Atom (Part One)](https://braveandboldlost.blogspot.com/2026/07/dick-tracy-and-atom-part-one.html) _2026-07-24 · Ross · Super-Team Family: The Lost Issues!_ As a short redhead growing up, I couldn't help but feel a certain kinship with Al Pratt. I was glad to see him eventually prominently featured in All-Star Squadron . This tale is only Part One of a Three-Part Epic, so make sure you come back tomorrow for the next chapter! ## [Fantastic Four and Space Cabbie](https://braveandboldlost.blogspot.com/2026/07/fantastic-four-and-space-cabbie.html) _2026-07-23 · Ross · Super-Team Family: The Lost Issues!_ More recent versions of Space Cabbie depict him with a very futuristic looking taxicab. There was something cool to me about the original version, just a regular looking taxi with a big ol' fin in the back, zipping through the cosmos. ## [What If We Kissed on the Blue Area of the Moon? 03 – What If...?

If you’ve followed my writing about comics for any length of time, it’s easy to tell that I’m very writer-focused. While I’ve tried many times to overcome this flaw in my approach, it never quite sticks. I’d loved to lay it on my interest in looking at broad bodies of work by writers or big runs focused on a character where… ## [What If We Kissed on the Blue Area of the Moon? 02 – What If...?

Unlike the first, it tells a coherent single story rather than a series of montages punctuated by truncated scenes. The premise is very simple: instead of…
