I liked this armour as a kid, and y'know what? I still kinda do. The garter pouches are stupid, but minus that, I think it's a perfectly sleek design, well-suited for a darker take on Batman. I fully concede the later evolutions of the armour are ass, though. I actually don't know what the consensus opinion on Mysterio's Clone Saga redesign is, but I hated it at the time. Now, though? I don't think it's half-bad. ASM #413 restored the fishbowl, synthesizing the new and classic designs, which I thought would've been the perfect look going forward, but AFAIK, it was retired following the Clone Saga. A shame. Even as a kid, long before my current political beliefs took shape, I disliked this costume. The wings ... the "A" on the forehead ... the scales ... the buccaneer boots ... it's just so nauseously busy. Almost every redesign has been an improvement. I have a soft spot for Az-Bats as well. It's glorious 90s schlocky but I enjoy it. As for Captain America, only person that got it right with the chainmail, was John Cassaday. His detail to the chainmail is perfect. Also the face mask is more functional than the hood originally drawn.

Never cared for the Green Goblin costume. Those stupid elvish books; who the hell would wear something like into combat? You'd lose your footing and stumble. Game over. And the old fashioned sleeping cap? The tunic and face mask are okay but the green unitard? Is that shading or scales? It's a terrible look. Hobgolin's look is a bit better with the cowl, but it's a terrible costume. I'll take Ditko over this: So would I but it's still a s**t design. Ditko wasn't on his game with that one.

Not quote an immediate purchase but a future one but I backed from Larry Welz the Cherry Omnibus. Celebrating 40 years of his iconic underground creation. All 22 issues in a nice hardcover, signed by Welz. Too good not to pass up.

Without a doubt, the greatest page in comics history I'm afraid I don't have context regarding this page. Was she imagining the encounter in her grief ? Speedy is saying good-bye to everyone. He wasn't found dead just yet. Is it a premonition, did Izzy actually talk to her brother? That's the power of that page. Gorgeous storytelling

Hal Jordan- Let's give the mightiest weapon in the universe to the most dull as dishwater person that lacks imagination. Wolverine- Used to be cool, then like Batman became oversaturated in every title; also giving him a definitive origin made him less interesting Ben Reilly- Should've never gone that route. Ever Hank McCoy- Was cool, even with the blue fur but then turned into a major d**k over the decades
