Guide to Energon Universe – GI Joe & Transformers (New for Patrons!)

March 19, 2025 by krisis Leave a Comment

After a few months packed with catching up on reading new releases from Marvel, DC, and Image for my weekly YouTube show “The Pull List,” I’m excited to get back to launching new comic guides to Patrons of CK! And, I’m especially excited about this first new guide, because it breaks ground on covering a comics property that is incredibly close to my heart. Fire up your 80s nostalgia, grab your favorite action figures, and get ready to shout “YO JOE” and “AUTOBOTS ROLL OUT” because it’s time for a Guide to the Energon Universe – GI Joe & Transformers!

Guide to the Energon Universe - GI Joe & Transformers

This guide is available exclusively to Patrons and will be available to the public in June 2025 with the release of the first trade of the new G.I. Joe (2024) ongoing series!

As I’ve been catching up on my Energon Universe reading I’ve looked around the web to see what collecting guides and reading orders exist. Some of my colleagues have put together handy quick guides to each series, but from my perspective they were all missing something.

Guide to Kraven The Hunter (New For Patrons!)

January 1, 2025 by krisis Leave a Comment

Happy New Year, comic fans! I’m kicking off the year with a new Marvel Comics reading order for Patrons of CK. Sometimes I make a reading order because I love a character. Other times I launch a guide because a character has so many series and appearances. And, occasionally, I make a guide just because a character will be starring in a movie with a hunky actor, not realizing that film will be one of the biggest super-flops of all time! Of course, that means today I am sharing a Guide to Kraven the Hunter!

Guide to Kraven the Hunter

Kraven the Hunter Reading Order & Collecting Guide, excerpted from the cover of Amazing Spider-Man (2018) #19 ComicXposure Exclusive Variant

I knew virtually nothing about Kraven The Hunter before working on this guide. I mean, yeah, I knew had a penchant for animal prints, but that also describes Michelle Visage. I was often puzzled by his appearances in the past six years of Spider-Man comics, where he was himself, but also undead, but also his own son, but also a clone?

Well, now I finally get it, and so can you.

Kraven began his life as one of Spider-Man’s signature villains in Amazing Spider-Man (1963) #14. However, the thing I quickly realized about the original Sergei Kravinoff and all of the subsequent Kravens is they really aren’t typical Marvel villains, except for some recreational poaching and coming from a family of Russian oligarchs.

No. Kraven would have been perfectly content to continue his endless safari in the plains of Serengeti if it wasn’t for the emergence of American superheroes – especially animal-themed heroes. After all, Kraven is a hunter, and what is more dangerous game than man with a superhero costume themed after a beast? [Read more…] about Guide to Kraven The Hunter (New For Patrons!)

a brief rest stop

February 12, 2024 by krisis

Happy Monday, y’all! This is just a brief note to let you know that I am in the middle of seeing all 650 kilometers of North Island’s Highway 1 right now as I head on a road trip from Wellington to Auckland and back.

That means no new comic guide for Patrons this week (and maybe not next week, either). Plus, some of my regular Drag Race coverage might be slightly delayed as I get back to my daily routine.

This is my first “away from the house” vacation since 2019, if you can count more than 16 hours of driving in a 60 hour period as a vacation. But, if all goes to plan I should get to go on proper amusement park rides with the kid for the first time since she was not-quite four years old, so we’ll call it a win!

If you’re seriously missing my comic book opinions, mark your calendars now for this Thursday @ 1pm US ET (Friday @ 7am NZT)  – where I’ll be continuing my string of appearances on Near Mint Condition’s YouTube channel with a major Marvel live stream. In fact, you might call it “oversized”… but, more on that later this week.

Guide to Howard the Duck (New for Patrons!)

January 22, 2024 by krisis

He’s trapped in a world he never made, but I finally made a guide for him! Today, debuting exclusively for Pledgeonaut Patrons of Crushing Krisis is a brand new guide for a Marvel character who just celebrated his 50th anniversary in the world of pink hairless apes. It’s a Guide to Howard the Duck, including a complete reading order of his every appearance!

As with many children of the 80s, I’ve always primarily known Howard the Duck from his flop 1986 film with Lea Thompson. I don’t explicitly recall watching it, but I know in my heart that we absolutely rented it at some point. After all, it was the only Marvel Comics movie released since the 1940s, and it was produced by George Lucas! I’m sure plenty of kids came home from the video story with this odd duck of a film clutched to their chests based on that credit alone.
