We typically think of the ways in which monthly comics changed in the 80s with series like Watchmen, Doom Patrol, Batman: Year One, and a host of others.

The Curator of Schlock #370: Syndicate Sadists
How about Nic Cage as “the Spider”? Yes, it’s cool that we have a Spider-Man set in 1930s New York and played by Nic Cage who spends more time getting sloshed rather than wearing the mask. I even like the fact that you can watch this show in black and white. So, yeah, Spider-Noir is a winner.… Continue reading
