A fairly quiet week of comic news brings with it a long discussion over recent casting announcements (from Captain Marvel to Mandrake, the Magician), as well as a debate over the viability of a certain long-lived no-end-in-sight cinematic superhero franchise (hint: it’s the X-Men!).
After that, it’s review time, as we go over the first issues of Copra Versus, The Revisionist, Control, and ending with a series review for the recently completed masterpiece The Omega Men.
