Flashback
By Dr. Jon Suter
The first issues of Marvel’s “Flashback” series are out, and some are surprisingly good. Each story takes place before the first issue of the original titles they are based on even though some of those titles are thirty or more years old.
There is wide variance in the quality of art and storytelling.
In “Amazing Spider-Man”, Tom DeFalco’s story and Joe Bennett’s art give a credible story of a young Peter Parker’s discovery of his Uncle Ben’s Golden Age comics. Young Peter dreams of becoming a Captain America type of hero. This segment is lighthearted and foreshadows Peter’s responsibility for his uncle’s death.
Far darker is the depiction of the rise of the villain, Kingpin.
Other nice touches include the hiring of reporter Joe Robertson by Pete’s future boss, editor J. Jonah Jameson, and, best of all, a brief appearance by the amnesiac Submariner.
The art is influenced by John Buscema. The cover is a tribute to artist Steve Ditko.
Also interesting are “X-Men” and “Uncanny X-Men”.
The first again explores the early friendship of the X-Men’s mentor, Professor Xavier, and villain, Magneto. A new element is the appearance of very youthful superheroes, the Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver.
The second delves into the origin of the Sentinels group and illustrates just how complicated time travelers have made this series.
“Cable” is not as good as the two above series, but is much better than “X-Factor”. Jeff Matsuda’s cartoonish depiction of the young superhero, Havoc, is irritating. Howard Mackie’s plot is easy to overlook because of the art.
I concede that Matsuda is showing events from a child’s perspective, but it doesn’t work.
The depiction of Stan Lee in the opening pages is beyond caricature.
Similar to “Flashbacks” is “The Unknown World of Captain Marvel”. This three0ussue series explains just how characters Mar-Vell, Yon-Rogg, and Medic Una came together just before their ill-fated expedition to Earth. The influence of artist Jack Kirby and popular SF films such as “2002”, “Star Wars” and “Aliens” is seen throughout.
This was taken last year when my daughter was taking riding lessons. I'm hoping to start them back up soon. I love how this pic looks so old and vintage.

My mom made the costume by dyeing a bed sheet and drawing on it with markers (I think. mom?). The belt is actually from Guatemala? And I love my awkward pose and the dirty white keds.
esta foto es del año 1986, cuando tenía casi tres años. En Febrero de ese año nos fuimos de vacaciones al sur. Esta foto es a la vuelta, salgo con mi mamá en el Salto del Laja.
Esta foto es foto de una foto, por eso la mala calidad de la imagen, pero bueh, se hace lo que se puede no mas.
Flashback to when I first met Sally-Anne, and had a lot of troble getting her to pose for this portrait shot, just wearing her bra! Now I seen to have trouble getting her to keep her clothes on!
It could be a steo back to the times she enjoyed when she was young, and free!
As I was taking this photo with the camera's self-timer, my neighbour popped her head above the fence to say "hello!" Gave me a bit of a fright.

Forgive me for having a flashback to last christmas. I liked this small candle of bee wax very much. I liked it so much that I didn't light it until today. Well, here it is...
