Wolverine V2 (2000’s)

Posted on by EHT Comics

An ongoing Wolverine series started publication in 1988 and lasted until 2003 when it was relaunched after issue 189. The original creative team consisted of writer Chris Claremont and penciler John Buscema. Claremont described the series as “high adventure rather than super heroics, sort of a combination of Conan meets Terry and the Pirates.” As a visual manifestation of the series’ break from the traditional superhero genre, throughout Claremont’s run Wolverine wears either civilian clothes or a mask-less, all black outfit instead of his superhero costume, and costumed characters in general were few and far between. Nearly half of the series’s run was written by Larry Hama.

Superman V1 (2000’s)

Posted on by EHT Comics

In the middle of 1999, the Superman titles relaunched with pretty much all new creators, and folks like Jerry Ordway, Louise Simonson and Dan Jurgens who had been working on the books for years moving on. That relaunch, which starts with Superman #151 by Jeph Loeb and Ed McGuinness more or less jettison most of the triangle era’s supporting cast, with a focus on more action and less character drama.

After Loeb moves on to Superman/Batman, we get a 12 issue run on Superman by Brian Azzarello and Jim Lee, Gail Simone takes over Action Comics for a year, with John Byrne on art, as all three Superman titles begin setting up the next major crossover, Infinite Crisis.

After Infinite Crisis, the DC Universe leap forward “One Year Later.” Geoff Johns and Kurt Busiek are the writers on Superman, starting off co-writing an 8 issue relaunch of the Superman titles. In the wake of Geoff Johns’ final storyline involving Brainiac, the Superman titles got intertwined again as a massive storyline spanning two years involving the creation of a New Krypton in Earth’s solar system, with Supergirl, Action Comics, Superman, the World of New Krypton miniseries, several specials, all culminating in the “War of the Supermen” miniseries.

Stray Bullets – Sunshine and Roses (2015)

Posted on by EHT Comics

A story about violence, love, and really bad decisions. The Baltimore underworld is falling apart at the seams and blood has been spilt. Where and when things went to hell in a handbasket can be traced back to a time a few years earlier, when a man named Harry ran the city, Spanish Scott and Monster enforced the rules, and an insecure young man named Orson met a wild and crazy girl named Beth. The two together cooked up the boldest, most outlandish, and just about the stupidest plan ever devised-a plan to steal a whole lot of Harry’s money and drugs and get a little revenge along the way.

Impulse (1995)

Posted on by EHT Comics

Suffering from a hyper-accelerated metabolism, Bart Allen was aging at a faster rate than that of any human being thus causing him to appear the physical age of twelve when he was chronologically, and mentally only two years old. To prevent him from developing mental health problems, he was raised in a virtual reality machine which created a simulated world that kept pace with his own scale of time. When it became clear that this method was not helping, his grandmother, Iris Allen, took him back in time to the present where The Flash, Wally West, tricked Bart into a race around the world. By forcing Bart into an extreme burst of speed, Wally managed to shock his hyper-metabolism back to normal. Because he had spent the majority of his childhood in a simulated world, Bart had no concept of danger and was prone to leaping before he looked. The youth proved to be more trouble than Wally could handle, and he was pawned off onto retired superhero speedster Max Mercury, who moved Bart to Manchester, Alabama. In Impulse #50, it was revealed that Batman actually named Bart “Impulse” as a warning, not a compliment.
