The other day, I was trying to write a Thanksgiving-themed post in my notebook and it was a complete mess. I could not get beyond feeling like things had not gotten better than they were last year, even though I was glad that my suspicions that I was suffering from depression were confirmed. I guess …

With more than half the week off, I've actually been able to do a little bit more than watch just one movie, and while I wanted to start another book, I opted for reading all trade paperbacks and graphic novels while also making my way through some of the stuff I've saved on DC Infinite. …

Despite this piling up, there's not too much …
The #WarComicsMonth in Uncollecting
It's November, and for the uninitiated, that means it's War Comics Month (shout out to Luke Jaconetti, btw). I'm a fan of comics of all genres, and while I don't own a ton of them, I do enjoy a classic war book; heck, I did an entire podcast on one. And with a pile of …
