My Marvel Life Presents : Fabulous First Issue – X-Factor 1

November 15, 2020November 22, 2020 ~ Munky ~ 1 Comment

Why I picked this comic: It's another one in the history of the X-titles and it was either this or the New Mutants OGN I think this was a better choice.

My Marvel Life Presents : Fabulous First Issue – Man of Steel 1

November 15, 2020November 16, 2020 ~ Munky ~ 1 Comment

Why I picked this comic:I wasb't going to do an X-Title so soon, (despite how much fun it was) and I have recently watched several of DC's recent-ish TV output. This left me inspired to pick a DC property and if it's firsts we are looking at then you can't get more first than Superman … Continue reading My Marvel Life Presents : Fabulous First Issue – Man of Steel 1

My Marvel Life Presents: Fabulous First Issue – Hawkeye 1

October 26, 2020October 27, 2020 ~ Munky ~ 1 Comment

Why I picked this comic: I was given the remit of finding something different from the last issue we looked at. With the silver age melodrama involving a team of super-powered teenagers battling a villain, the furthest from that without going outside of genre was the Matt Fraction/David Aja run on this title. It's also … Continue reading My Marvel Life Presents: Fabulous First Issue – Hawkeye 1
