  8. 28 - The Twenty-Eighth Time

    Just in TIME for Easter, the Time Bubble comes hippety-hopping down the timestream with a big basket of back-issue reviews, from Murd to you!

  14. 22 - The Twenty-Second Time

    At last, the TIME has come: Murd reacts to the first issue of Grant Morrison's New X-Men run! (A little less 'New' than it was in 2001, but no less worthy of comment!)
