On a whim I have decided that I want to re-read the Marvel comic Sleepwalker from the ’90s. To make it feel like an accomplishment in some way, I will write about it on my little website here. That’s correct, I will be posting thoughts about a Marvel character other than Rocket Racer. He’s not even a character I’d want to cross over with Rocket Racer. Just a whole different thing.

I remember liking Sleepwalker as a kid. I’ve read the whole run, I’m pretty sure, but I don’t remember much. As I recall, it’s the tale of an entity from mental realms that is bonded with a human and thus winding up in the physical world whenever his host, Rick, went to sleep. It’s a decent supernatural setup that I have since decided would have fit in with the Midnight Sons books I also read in those days, but which I think I could have been greatly improved by having a character like Sleepwalker in there.

From what I recall, I don’t remember caring much about Rick. I do remember liking some of the book’s villains (8-Ball and Bookworm stand out). I feel like the book went off the rails, but probably not as bad as its contemporary Darkhawk. But anyway, I’m just here to make the announcement, not to make predictions. So now the Summer of Sleepwalker begins.
