Elsewhere, I’ve covered the many identities of Reagan in superhero comics. Gorbachev’s portrayals are fewer but no less fascinating. In GREEN LANTERN CORPS #209, 1986, he is intelligent and charming…far more so than Reagan in the same issue (one of the few portrayals I missed). But he is also, at the end of the day, a two-faced bad guy.
( Not Two-Face, though. His scar isn’t THAT pronounced. )
Moonshine Bigfoot #1-4
Nov. 27th, 2025 06:38 pmzylly posting in scans_dailyThis year saw the publication of the greatest mini series of all time. Not DC KO, not One World Under Doom, not Age of Revelation…
No, I’m talking about the one, the only, MOONSHINE BIGFOOT!
Featuring Bigfoot, hippie chicks, moonshine, car races, Bigfoot Hunters, ghosts, degraded kids' show hosts, and the Cobra Commander you get on Wish!

I planned for the next part in this series to be the Max Lord spotlight in Justice League International #24, but that’ll come early next week.
Warning for some discussion of age-inappropriate relationships and creators with tainted histories.
DC’s Secret Origins series did all JLI-themed origin stories for three issues, after doing the Justice Society and the original Justice League of America. Each issue had three stories: this one includes Mister Miracle and Oberon, Fire/Green Flame, and Ice/Icemaiden. No, Fire shouldn't be able to fly on that cover; just go with it. YES, ice-bridges are more Iceman's thing, JUST GO WITH IT.
Mister Miracle and Oberon’s story is “Escapism” by Mike Carlin and Don Heck. It’s a split-page compare-and-contrast exercise.
( You see, Mister Miracle is...TALL, and… )
The First Appearance of Marvel's The Hulk...

Yup, Dani Moonstar is getting a solo miniseries!
