Comicdom Wrecks! is a mish-mosh of comic book commentary put together by three friends who have spent most of their adult lives rambling about comic book hijinks.
J.R. is the editor-in-chief that keeps us all churning about on schedule. He makes the rules and we stick by them! He also has a DC fancy, if that's your bag.
Jacob is the sleep-deprived, cynical Marvel-loving X-Men fan that tends to yammer on about stuff.
Casey is the slap-happy chappy that pops in with bursts of wisdom and nonsense about Marvel and pop culture topics!
This is Comicdom Wrecks.
Black Cat wins after Catwoman unexpectedly slips and cracks her head on the balance beam. Bad luck powers for the win.
Does she still have bad luck powers?
Spider Man and Black Cat were the leading characters in one of the most beautiful story arcs I’ve ever read. It is rather short (it starts in Amazing Spider Man 226 and ends in the following issue), but every single panel of it is pure awesomeness.
In that period Spider Man had started to become more and more similar to Batman: the series passed from a sunny setting to a dark one, Peter started to cooperate with a female version of Commissioner Gordon (Jean De Wolff), and, most of all, he developed a detective approach he never had before. His relationship with Black Cat was a part of this project: Black Cat is Marvel’s Catwoman, so the affair between her and Peter deliberately reminded of the one between Batman and Catwoman.
This magic period ended with the death of Jean De Wolff. She is one of the Spider Man characters who should have been employed more and in a far better way, along with Eddie Brock, Cletus Kasady, Betty Brant and so on.
