This time it’s the KO and Return of Superman, where I discuss the classic one-shot Superman vs. Muhammad Ali.
Also at PCS is a roundtable discussion about Secret Invasion #1, involving both 4L writers and Funnybook Babylon writers. Or as I call the collective group, The Corporate Ministry.
On another note, today is 4/4. That should be the official 4th Letter Day. Make it happen, politicians!

That article about Superman vs. Muhammad Ali is the very best kind of review. I hadn’t thought about that comic in many years, and took it for granted at the time…but your description made me realize it was a lot better than I remembered and you made me want to pull it out and read it again right away. Many thanks for letting us see it in a new light, Gavok!
Thank you, I really appreciate that. I remember first finding out about that comic years ago and thinking that I just had to read it because it sounded so goddamn stupid. Then I found myself surprised by how much I actually enjoyed it. Even though the comic isn’t too obscure, hermanos and I agreed that I had to do a review of it.
Loving the Corporate Ministry reference, even if the concept of the Mean Street Posse as Satan Worshipers was pretty out there, even by wrestling standards…
