Hey guys, welcome back, this week we’re gonna take a look at a few heroic attempts at bringing comic books to life on the super nes. While I think comic book games have had a much higher success rate than movies turned into games, you still had to be careful thanks to every kids mortal enemy LJN being responsible for some of the worst superhero atrocities ever released to the public back on the NES. Thankfully a lot of the games on this list rectified those dark times with some really great comic book games on 16-bit consoles. But like you'll see with a couple of these, there was always still a chance that you might get a half-assed game.
