Sitting in the back of one of my long boxes behind some old Wizard magazines (all of which I will be offloading on eBay for very cheap) are some free graphic novel catalogues that I picked up from my LCS at one point or another. More importantly, when I picked them up, I went through …

Lingering Melodies
So "uncollecting" music has not been a huge priority in this venture, and I was thinking about this a couple of weeks ago when Dave Holmes' piece "A Decade of Music is Lost on Your iPod. These Are the Deleted Years. Now let us praise them" was published on Esquire. Holmes is a few years …
Eclipso #17
I literally bought this comic because I had heard that there was an issue of Eclipso that was a complete bloodbath with a bunch of heroes being killed off in an assault on Eclipso's base/temple in the Amazon. It wasn't. I will say that I've heard good things about this series, which spun out of …

Lots of continuing my read through my incomplete run of Secret Origins, and I continue to enjoy at least one story per issue, sometimes even both. I'm going to wind up keeping all of these because the missing issues are on my want list and then I plan to read along with Ryan Daly's now-defunct …
