During his first year of stories, Will Payton became a hero, got to the bottom of his origin, and faced off against the Power Company, who were not only created by the scientists who inadvertently gave Starman his powers but were sent to capture and destroy him. At the end of issue 12, that storyline …

The Massive
A little while back, I reviewed the first trade of Northlanders, Brian Wood's viking saga. In looking at my trade paperback collection, I notice that I also own most of DMZ (the volume 11 trade is proving a pain in the ass to acquire on the cheap), the graphic novel/trade paperback collections of The New York Four and The New …
The 4400, Season 3
While I mentioned in my review for season two of The 4400 that the 13-episode season was nice and tight and that made it really enjoyable, it wasn't as helpful here, even though without the need to fill a full 22 to 26 episodes, the writers could stay right on track with whatever they had planned. And …
Badger #47-48
Is it overly snarky of me to say that the best thing about these two issues is that I accidentally spilled a glass of water on them and therefore, I don't have to contemplate the ranking and can just chuck them in the recycling bin? The story is something about Amazon Nuns in the Jungle …
Badger #46
We roll along with these Badger issues, slotting them in here and there between stretches of other books like Suicide Squad or Starman, which I can read in batches. This one is cover dated April 1989, but more than likely came out in December or January of 1989 if the classic "four months ahead" cover dating of the 1980s is …
Starman (1988) #1-12
Okay, before I start this, I have to laugh and say that every time I start blogging through a series or run I've read, I think about where I got these particular comics, then realize it was probably in one of two places: a massive sale at my LCS or a convention. In this case, …
Zombieland
I can't tell you how long this one has sat in my Netflix DVD queue. Okay, I can say it probably has been a decade, because the film came out in 2009 and I probably put it on the list when it hit DVD in 2010. Not only that, I've had the DVD in my …
The Witch
It's 1630. A family is exiled from its village in colonial Massachusetts. They set out into the frontier and find a place to build a home and a farm. As time passes, things are tough but they seem to survive. Then, one day, the family's eldest child, Thomasin, is playing peekaboo with her baby brother, …
