I'm Max. I read comics. It's kind of my thing.
Hey, there! Welcome to another installment of the New Comics Update here on the MRC! It seems that I hit a bit of a hiccup recently, with the passing of our cat Benson, and my brief bout of general malaise about new comics recently. I even toyed with the idea of jumping back onto the […]

Read More Indie Comics Spotlight Presents: Space Crusaders #2!Greetings, and welcome back to our series of posts about Smash Comics #18! Yes, this is the eighth post in the series, focusing on the seventh individual feature in the book, and we’re still only covering the contents of one solitary issue of a comic book!

Read More Smash Comics #18 Presents: Wings Wendall!Looking for something a little different than the usual comic book fare? Something that isn’t the legal property of a major corporate entity (yet)? Something that’s owned, produced, and sometimes even published by the creators themselves? Well, that’s what the Indie Comics Spotlight is for, people! This time around, we are turning the spotlight back […]
Read More Indie Comics Spotlight Presents: The Quick and the Dad Strikes Again!We’re going to have to start this one on a serious note. My wife Gayle and I lost our very special feline son Benson on Thursday night, October 24th, 2019. Even though we have another cat, his older “sister” Calypso, Benson was always the star of the show. He was a big boy, in more […]
Read More New Comics Update for 10-23-19!Welcome back to another (very brief) New Comics Update here on the MRC! This week, we’re only covering three new books. I read more comics than that over the past week, but those will have to wait until my shameful “okay, so I’m peeking back into the DC universe” post. For NOW, though…onto the trio […]

Just check the lettering atop the following splash panel, eh? I like […]
Read More Smash Comics #18 Presents: Invisible Justice!Here we are once more, with a look into new comic books…from one week in the past! This is another light week for me, so it should be easy to make this brief, eh? Let’s give it a shot, at least! Okay….Go! Battlepug #2: I still haven’t gone and read the material preceding this new […]
Read More New Comics Update 10-9-19!Welcome to the middle-or-so of this series of posts based on the contents of one single issue of Smash Comics! Specifically, Smash Comics #18, originally published in 1940! Now, 1940…that was before the United States joined in on the whole World War II thing, right? And yet, this comic book seems awfully preoccupied with the […]
Read More Smash Comics #18 Presents: Black X!Hello and welcome to a post about the new comic books that I picked up last week! We’ve got six books to talk about this time around, so let’s get down to it, shall we? Copra #1: Yes, this is a first issue, but it’s not, really. There have been 31 issues of this series […]
