Assessing the Spider-Man ‘Clone Saga’ Twenty Years after its (Merciful) End / R. W. Watkins
Mr. Watkins attempts to analyse one of the biggest publishing fiascoes of the 1990s.
It isn't going to be easy. Definitely a two-parter. Maybe three.
Speaking of Spider-Man, your dear editor has been conversing with the non-mutant
who revolutionised the fan film in the ’90s when he gave us The Green Goblin’s Last Stand...

Prelude to a Review of Batman v Superman / Mark Jarret Chavous
(If he ever actually brings himself to write a review, you can be sure we’ll be posting that as well!)

Using Marvel Comics as his lab rat, Mr. Tolworthy has crunched the numbers and done the maths.

He's also been checking out some mainstream collections as of late...
Eye on an Era: A Look Inside DC: The New Frontier / Matthew Quann
Comics in Remote Corners: The View-Master Experience / R. W. Watkins
The first in a series of short essays exploring the most unusual deployments and adaptations of the comics medium.
Update: A few months down the road, and Mr. Chavous finally comes through with a review.
Is time conducive to objectivity? And is it a good thing? Who knows. Who dares.
OK, About this Batman vs. Superman Thing... / Mark Jarret Chavous
