CSN #2036

This issue celebrates the return of That Texas Blood by Chris Condon and Jacob Phillips, as the acclaimed neo-noir series begins its new arc, "Hell Comes to Allison Ranch." The DC Universe reaches a climax in the "Kingdom of Zod" crossover event, pitting the Super-Family against General Zod in a special one-shot finale. Feature articles look back at the history of "Comic Ads That Made Us Dream," exploring everything from Charles Atlas and Sea-Monkeys to Hostess Fruit Pie ads, and revisit the 1980s Madballs toy craze. Previews include The Amazing Venom, Twelve-Toe Maggie, and the TMNT: The Hunger zombie special. The Bullpen note asks readers to consider which lesser-known superpower they would most want to possess, and the issue debuts a new comic strip, Adventure Guy, by Marc Jackson.
