I'd like to say that this book was unrecognized or underrated during the time it was published, but I don't know if that's true considering that I never read it when it first came out and wasn't even reading comics at the time. I begin with this because even at this early stage, it's starting …

Personal Archaeology 6: I’m Through With the Past, but the Past Isn’t Through With Me
I recently bought a new journal. It's an off-brand Moleskine-type book that I picked up at Target because the leather-bound one I had been writing in was getting completely filled. Funny enough, these are the frist two fancy-looking journals I have ever owned or written in because with the exception of a number off lears …
Suicide Squad #1-7
The John Ostrander-penned Suicide Squad book is probably one of the more seminal runs of the late 1980s.

The Abandoned Carousel
I think that I love listening to podcasts so much because it reminds me of going to the library when I was a kid--there's something for all of my interests. Thus, I have an eclectic collection of shows that reflect the way I bounce from topic to topic. And it's not surprising to me that …
Some Comics in Brief 11/21/19
The last month or two have not wanted to let go of me. Between doctor's appointments, after work meetings, before work meetings, professional development days, podcast recording podcast editing, grading, planning, and teaching, I have not been able to see an ending in sight and it's almost Thanksgiving. I mean, what I am thankful for …
