This issue saw print the same month as ASM 53, and it, too, has 4 pages slightly taller than the rest of the book. A systemic problem! This cover is about as…

PPSM 56
Sam Keith! His stuff is just plain weird, very loose and very cartoony, and you either like it or don’t, but what’s rather fascinating to me is how big he got in…
PPSM 43
I never really mark the passage of time on this blog. I do these things so far in advance. I don’t even want to speculate what January 2025 is like from May…

PPSM 22

ASM V2 17

PPSM 16
The way it feels like storylines just keep wandering in and out of these books instead of progressing is kind of crazy. This month has the odd credits “Howard Mackie – story…
PPSM 12
Electro’s arms are weird on this cover. We don’t pick up with last issue’s cliffhanger. Instead, we start with a bomb going off and throwing MJ out of bed. He’s having his…
