Issue by Issue
This column was created to focus on comic books that are interesting for one reason or another. Not just single issues, but full runs in particular. Most of these are not those that are extremely popular with readers today, though you never know when one of these particular characters could show up in a book you might be reading. If you want to see a series get covered or know of one that you think would be of interest, then share your thoughts below in the comment section, Tweet it or Facebook it. All suggestions are welcome.

You should revisit some of these issue by issue titles and add in the appearance of the character from the
“try out” books that preceded them getting their own self-named series.
For instance add:
First Issue Special #8 for Warlord
Marvel Spotlight #1 for Red Wolf
Marvel Spotlight #12-23 for Son of Satan (I always thought these were far better than the issues in his own title)
Marvel Premiere #3-14 for Doctor Strange (if not all the Strange Tales issues as well)…..

I know, I’ve thought of it, but I wanted to try and keep it at self-contained series. I might do it at some point as it only makes sense.
