What do you get when you combine classic EC horror with classic EC's social justice tales (as seen mainly in Shock SuspenStories and their SF titles), and add a contemporary twist? You get the revived EC's Catacomb of Terror. For example, here's the story of a malevolent architect who takes the concept of urban renewal to monstrous extremes.

Warning for gore.

Readers who wanted to see Reagan in an actual Captain America story could get one the following year, in Captain America v1 #344, 1988. This issue doesn't feature much of Reagan's real personality for obvious reasons, but it does acknowledge his weird tendency to call Nancy "Mommy."

( I mean, it's better than if she called him 'Daddy.' )

I am of the camp that thinks 2000ad's Dark Judges are overused. But a Halloween special, with a story on each one of them, and an excuse for a new Bolland cover piece? No complaints!

Oh, great, another relaunch/re-titling for Ghost Rider. Yaaay...

But wait! This title actually contains some cool stuff!

Great looking new villains (could use a little less alliteration on their names, though):

It probably only exists to maintain a trademark, but the art here is really nice! Some Young Avengers and Runaways get trapped in a Jumanji/D&D hybrid, and only the Scarlet Witch can save them.

Someone on Twitter said "We are witnessing levels of yaoi never conceived before" and yeah that seems apt.

Good morning, afternoon, and evening!

We're doing some database and other light server maintenance this weekend (upgrading the version of MySQL we use in particular, but also probably doing some CDN work.)

I expect all of this to be pretty invisible except for some small "couple of minute" blips as we switch between machines, but there's a chance you will notice something untoward. I'll keep an eye on comments as per usual.

Ta for now!

Reagan starred in one of DC's highest-profile "graphic novels" of the 1980s, but he could have starred in both. The idea of using Nixon as President didn't occur to Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons until some time after Watchmen's initial outline, and there are times when its Nixon is more of a stand-in or proxy for Reagan (Watchmen #8).

The Stephen Strange we saw in Doctor Strange of Asgard was still stinging from the loss of his Sorcerer Supreme status, and his focus was on gaining enough power to return to Earth, give Doctor Doom a bloody nose, and reclaim his title. None of that happened, because just when he’d gained the power, the way home was cut off from him.

The journey he’s on now is a difficult one. He’s still preoccupied with Earth, still feels that urgent need to return to Clea, to deal with his responsibilities there, but now he finds himself dealing with the responsibilities foisted upon him by his title of Sorcerer Supreme of Asgard. He originally sought that power out of a selfish need, so now he has to deal with those ramifications.

1985 was a bye year for Reagan, prominent-comic-book-wise. The Crisis on Infinite Earths passed without a single presidential address.

( My fellow Americans, and all citizens of the world, I call upon us all to stand together against the white menace of the Anti-Monitor. No arsenal, and no weapon in the arsenals of the world, is so formidable as the will and moral courage of free men and women, except maybe an antimatter wall that destroys everything it touches...Bobby, this needs a rewrite. )
