With Busiek on the script and Ross on the art, this series never misses. About the series itself; it is a fairly veritable time capsule of the decades depicted: the 40s and then the mid-60s through the early 70s. You get the broad strokes versions of events through the Marvel Universe during the decades, but this is through the eyes of an aging photographer and his disillusionment not with the heroes (which he calls “Marvels”) but with how the common people treat them. Pictured here are my copies of the 25th anniversary annonated editions; which contain the original scripts, covers, concept art and whatnot.

The way Spidey and Supes stand in the back cover is literally the most thug-gangster ass-shit like holy hell it’s so badass

Okay yeah, this movie was engaging as hell. This was one of many movies that got me understanding the appeal of Detective Conan There’s like a hundred of these movies, and this one will be a tough act to follow in my eyes
I think Mr. Byrne deserves to be dunked in an deep fryer, I never like what I hear of or about him. Byrne was also the guy who wrote a Superman run explicitly designed to not make him an immigrant anymore. His goal with Superman was to affirm him as an American and rid him of any "alien traits" to make him more "human" And the wild thing is; both Man of Steel and the 2025 movie were based on this exact run. First because it fits Hollywood’s vision and second, it was collected and reprinted a lot.

Marvels (1994). It’s actually one of my favorite comics ever, so much so that I consider it a masterpiece. It’s a “extraordinary world through the eyes of an everyman” kind of story. But what I feel sets it apart from other stories like it is the way it’s written Busiek is a man who can capture the exact kind of story that would be made at the time while making it modern and actually being invested in the characters involved.
Yeah. This IS really good. It’s not hard to see WHY this got as big as it did. It started off as a whimsical on-the-surface but lowkey existential cartoon. And it ends on what I would say a rather personal note on the creator’s end. They told the story they wanted to tell uncompromised, and these days, there is a beauty to that.

As for this movie itself, The Prince and Pauper story they had going on with Ran was cute. The Lupin side of the crossover is well-done in the sense they act like themselves with Iconic Moments: Lupin does his thieving and getting one-upped by Fujiko. There’s even the classic “shed my clothes leap to bed Fujiko, and stake a spring-loaded boxing glove to the face” bit here Jigen being the cool guy, but with the added bonus of being proud of training an entire country’s military in this one Goemon has sparse appearances and aura farms like he usually does Fujiko takes the Princess-as-Ran and go on this neat little trip of the Princess experiencing the fun commoner’s life The Conan part is no slouch either: The Detective stuff with a nice flavoring courtesy of well, the Lupin cast. Minor spoiler but the ending’s cute. With the Lupin gang taking Conan back to Japan and basically going “We know who you are”

Instead of an introductory track, the album opens with a cover of Ultra Q’s OP. Meaning this one comes out swinging. The vocalist Eizo Sakamoto sings and screams his ass off like any good metal vocalist should. They really let the bassist cook in certain tracks. The Ultraman Leo->Tatakae! Ultraman Leo->Hoshizora no Ballad segment of the album almost makes up for Leo’s show really.
That last part especially cause it brings up the question “Does he intend to survive the events of CCA” and I strongly feel he doesn’t To paraphrase a video essay, “in Paul Schrader terms, he thinks he’s Ethan Hawke in First Reformed. But he’s actually Mishima, creating a broke excuse to end his own life.”
