So I will be the first person to admit that my experience with Superman comics has been spotty at best. When I was a kid, I owned a few because I loved the movies and shows like Super Friends, but I think that amounted to an issue here and there during the pre-Crisis era and …
Month: December 2024
Mystery Box Marvels
At this year's Baltimore Comic-Con, I once again bought a mystery box from Third Eye Comics. It was the second time I'd done so and even though I probably didn't need a box of random comics, I had so much fun going through all the books last year that I had gotten in that mystery …
Nostalgia and heart done wrong and right
In my quest to get back into watching some of the many films that I have on my list, I decided to make a concernted effort to at least stream something once a week (or so) during December. The criteria for what I would stream more or less depended on what I was in the …

And this will wrap up #WarComicsMonth …
Dear Sirs
After his grandfather Silvio passes away, Mark Pedri is left with a house full of his things, which goes untouched for a while until he decides to sift through what's there. He knew his grandfather, or at least knew him to be a miner who played the accordion and the man with whom he'd spend …
Light Brigade
My LCS had a quarter bin sale this past weekend, and while it is contrary to this blog's mandate, I have said time and again that quarter bin sales and comic conventions are the exceptions to the rule. Conventions, of course, are about meeting creators and attenting panels in addition to the rows upon rows …
Blackhawk (1989 series)
I've got four posts to write about items associated with #WarComicsMonth, which I finished reading and watching yesterday, and I want to start with what I was looking forward to the most this year, which was reading my way through the 1989 Blackhawk series that was written by Martin Pasko and Doug Moench (who wrote …
