Superhero Crossover Classics! Back Issue Comics Review Show #759
Are you Powerman 5000? Cuz this is what it’s like WHEN WORLDS COLLIDE!
In this episode: we look at the superhero crossover comics that led to the Amalgam Universe (as seen in our LAST Back Issue Show)! Superman and Spider-Man, Batman and Judge Dredd, Green Lantern and Silver Surfer…and MORE! Each back issue comics review ends with a rating from THN’s “Buy It,” “Skim It,” or “Leave It” system, which is pretty washed up these days, despite having some crossover hits in the 80s. Get ready for some world burpin’ because…it’s BACK ISSUE COMICS REVIEW TIME IN THE ZIGGURAT!
