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 …
Firestar #1-4
Like many people in my generation, I'm familiar with the Marvel character Firestar from Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends, and while I do know that she made her way into the Marvel Universe back in the Eighties, I wasn't 100% sure how except that it somehow involved the X-Men. I'd read maybe one or two …
A trio of Bat Books
Among the books that I gathered up at the Baltimore Comic-Con either from bins or mystery boxes were several Bat-books from different eras. Two of them were signed--Robin #40 and #41, which were signed by Chuck Dixon. I've automatically decided to keep those (in addition to a Superman issue signed by Dan Jurgens) without reading …
Indie Comics from the Quarter Bin
I'm working my way through the big pile of comics, many of which are from the Baltimore Comic-Con and my LCS' quarter-bin sale over Thanksgiving weekend. I thought I'd try and pop in from time to time with lists of mini reviews covering what I've read. For this, it's a smattering of comics from Image, …
