A couple of months ago, I came across a creative writing notebook that had survived a purge. It was from 2023 and while it was mostly filled with drafts of blog posts and podcast scripts that have already been published, there were bits and pieces of stories, poems, and outlines, along with a st of …

DC Animated: The New 52
I've had the three-part Crisis on Infinite Earths animated feature on my list for a while but had thought it would be a good idea to perhaps start at the beginning of what I guess is known as the DC Animated Movie Universe and then work my way through Crisis. So I went to Wikipedia …

Army @ Love
When I rifled through the bins at last year's Baltimore Comic-Con. I came across several issues of a Vertigo series from several years back called Army @ Love. he covers looked intriguing enough, and though it would be interesting. I mean, how do you combine romance and war books? Cynically, it seems. Written by Rick …

Kid Stuff
My basement with the model painting work area. Notice how clean the floor is. I was a pretty sloppy teenager. Not in a really gross way; my room was usually cluttered with papers, books, comics, and other things that I was working on at one point or another. It was a continuation of my elementary …
The Year in Uncolleting 2025
2025 was, I'm not going to lie, a hit or miss year. My life had some milestones--my kid graduating from high school and then going to college--but the state of the world being what it was made for a year of constant stress and anxiety. I spent time this summer and fall working through a …
Speed Running My Comics Piles
I know that I've tried to catalogue the individual comics that I've read here either in individual entries or groups of small reviews, but I've spent the last several days reading a huge stack of comics. While reading, I thought about doing those reviews but then realized the entry or entires would be incredibly tedious …
The Scorched, Sonja, and The Lot
Here we go with another small stack of indie comics and one graphic novel that I got at both my LCS's quarter bin sale and the mystery pack from the Baltimore Con. I've been trying to get through as much as I can lately, but stacking them in an "order" that makes some sort of …
