Then And Now of Comics is a semi-regular show about comic books, and the history of titles. One part history lesson about a given title, two parts of reviewing the very first issue of a title and then the latest #1 in that title and then coming up with some conclusion. Think of it as an Old Versus New, except it's not a versus! Yes, that does mean sometimes it gets convoluted.

Then And Now of Comics
Sensational She-Hulk #1 (1989/2023)
29 DEC 2023 · While we work on making the video versions of our previous episodes (with many still on YouTube as is), we say thank you to our 150th follower on X/Twitter. That follower being We Have Issues and their choice of Then and Now was SENSATIONAL SHE-HULK, with the Then being John Byrne's irreverent classic and the Now being the surprisingly great Rainbow Rowell sequel to the She-Hulk run from last year!
Birds Of Prey #1 (1999/2023)
4 DEC 2023 · Support the Now! comic BIRDS OF PREY #1 written by Kelly Thompson, art by Leonardo Romero, colors by Jordie Bellaire and lettes by Clayton Cowles!
Yes, try as I might, history is history and while I could have started at the one-shots, I set a precedent with Spectacular Spider-Man and Suicide Squad that I should cut to the main first volume for the Then. That means it's Chuck Dixon's Then and Kelly Thompson's Now!
As always, stay golden, and be respectful, inklings!
Alan Scott: The Green Lantern #1 (1941/2023)
4 DEC 2023 · Support the amazing Now! with ALAN SCOTT: THE GREEN LANTERN #1 by Tim Sheridan, Cian Tormey, Matt Herms, and Lucas Gattoni!
Yes, the Internet goaded me into it. Yes, the Title History is basically 75% JSA. Yes, the conclusion is very related to the current state of the comic community (and those that leech off it)...
TL;DR - Comics have always been a vehicle for socially minded storytelling, despite what the New Wave Werthams televangelize.
