11 O’Clock Comics Episode 149

After raising our glasses to the life and work of the recently-departed Dwayne McDuffie, we retreat to our corners and begin this week’s tag-team tussles with Chris and Jason taking on the landmark Alien Legion series from Marvel/Epic, and King DAP and Vince traipsing across Hal Jordan’s mental landscape in J. M. DeMatteis and Seth Fisher‘s awe-inspiring Green Lantern: Willworld! Plus, we have plenty of time left to discuss B.P.R.D.: Plague of Frogs and Hellboy, creators we allow an occasional “pass” (Walt Simonson, Neal Adams, Todd McFarlane, John Byrne, John Severin, Russ Heath, Tony DeZuniga, Sal and John Buscema, and more), Warriors of the Shadow Realm, Godland, First Wave, Richard Starking and Elephantmen, American Vampire, The Dark Tower, and much more!
