I wanna say the first shiny foil cover I can remember is Jim Lee’s WildCATs (Covert! Action! Teams!) #2, and it looked a lot like this.Silvery with the rainbow hologram effect. That…

TAC 199
And we’re back. Castle’s still falling, heroes are recapping, it’s all happening. Archangel, being all tough and mean since he got transformed by Apocalypse, thinks they should just leave, but Cyclops won’t…
TAC 198
It is utterly insane to me that this is a 3-issue story. Professor. Power. Is meant to keep Spider-Man and the X-Men at bay for a 3-issue story! Bonkers. Bananas. Other such…
TAC 197

TAC 127
Here’s another one that just screams “filler.” While the other titles are in chaos, I wonder why so many of the Spectaculars of this moment are fill-ins. Maybe Peter David just didn’t…
TAC 126
Would you expect this issue to have the same creative team as last issue? You fool. Alan Kupperberg swaps in on pencils and Art Nicols is the sole inker. Danny Fingroth and…
