After some news we reviews Afterlife with Archie, the Transformers Dark Cybertron mess, the Superior Spider-man Annual, and Longshot Saves the Marvel Universe. Then we give thanks to the comicbook creators we are thankful for this gobbly-wobbly holiday season. Wibbly-wobbly. And support our friend's Kickstarter project for Bio-Mechanical Ordnance Gestalt toys if you could.

The Beano has changed 1) Modern art styles.
The Beano is a thing I love. It's a British comic book, an anthology of gag strips. I have Beanos from nearly every single decade of its existence except the 1930s and 1940s. Yup, that's right, the Beano started in 1938 making it one of the longest-running comic books in the world!Especially since DC cancelled Action Comics and Detective comics and restarted them, relatively recently.
Obviously with such a long lifespan the Beano has changed a lot over the years. Still it's maintained a strong continuity with the old comics slotting in very well with even the most modern comics. At some other time I might pull out some of my collection and do a thorough through-time with one of the characters. But today I wanna target something specific from one of my recent issues of the book.
