The New Teen Titans: Runaways

Well, I've seen the first episode of Titans, and actually, I enjoyed it quite a bit. There are a few problems, the biggest for me being the gleeful and excessive violence. Maybe the fact that this Robin has a few issues will pay off later on down the line, but for right now, a sweary Dick Grayson doesn't feel hard and street and cool like they're obviously hoping, but actually comes across as quite juvenile.
But the script is good, the actors are very good ( especially standout Anna Diop as Starfire ) and the necessary changes from one medium to another I can live with.
What is unforgivable, of course, is that Marv Wolfman & George Perez don't even get a cursory credit...

Meanwhile, back in the Teen Titans heyday, Marv & George are presenting the first part of an all-time classic:

Daredevil: A Night In The Life

Literally every character did an issue like this during the Bronze Age, but tonight it's Daredevil's turn to show us what he gets up to when not fighting costumed super-villains.
You'd think, what with him not having invulnerability or a healing factor or anything, he'd be nursing his many wounds and necking down nurofen, but not a bit of it, as for a simple night off, DD's actually busier than ever in this one.
Like most of the 'day / night in the life' type stories of the time, this was probably a filler no one thought twice about, but I love it because Sal & Jim make a perfect art team, and Marv writes a script that's the very definition of a good story well told. Everything set up in act one pays off by act three, as they say.
And if there's a more quintessentially 1970's Marvel last panel than the one in this issue, I've yet to come across it.

What Is It That Disturbs You, Stephen?

The 1976 Dr. Strange annual was, I think, one of the last things Craig Russell did during his initial time at Marvel, and like pretty much every piece of his ever, it's a tour de force.
Not that Craig was overly pleased with it, over the years trying to convince Marvel to reprint it with better production values.
Getting the go-ahead in 1997, Russell initially tried adding 12 new pages to the piece in order to reprint it as a graphic novel, before realizing how much his style had changed over the years, and sitting down to do the whole thing from scratch. It was released as Dr. Strange: What Is It That Disturbs You, Stephen? and I obviously recommend it massively.

But here's the original. If I'm honest, having read both versions, I'm still not 100% sure what the story ( co-written by Craig with Marv Wolfman ) is actually about, and what really happens, but what I can't resist about it is that it looks, in places, like it's taking place on Killraven's Earth, Russell being fresh from that strip at the time.
What I also like is the same thing that occurs to every single person who reads it: None of what happens to Doc would've been necessary if he'd just realized one simple, eternal truth.
When your hot girlfriend from another dimension tells you you're not paying her enough attention, the one thing you don't do is 'turn inward to study her words, and understand yourself'. That's exactly why she's pissed off at you, dude.
