You can always go home, but you can never go back.

My current obsession with Pre-Crisis Wonder Woman hasn't shifted my buying habits back to DC it seems. I have Avengers Academy, Heroes for Hire, and Captain America and the Falcon on my order this week.

That's pretty much the problem with DC's supposed Silver Age nostalgia. As much as they attempt to bring back the past setting, they're missing the spark. Here I am, a genuine Silver Age lover in the middle of a full-blown Silver Age Wonder Woman obsession and I have all Marvel on my list. For all their resurrections and realignments... I'm reading the reprints.

  1. 1. You missed out on Secret Six.

    2. You hooked ME on Avengers Academy now. I'm on my second issue.

  2. Secret Six is awesome. I am also enjoying the Doom Patrol trades and have decided to add it to my list.

    T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents has been interesting so far as well.

    ...Wait. "Missed out" on Secret Six? Has it been canceled? Say it ain't so!

  3. No, Tom, the Six is still with us, thank God. A new issue came out yesterday, but it was apparently not on Ragnell's pull list for the week, so I said SHE missed out on it.

  4. Thank goodness! Six is a great series and I would miss it terribly if it was canceled.
