One of the advantages of the Netflix DVD queue was that I didn't have to hunt high and low for a number of movies that are getting increasingly hard to find on streaming platforms. One such movie is 1988's Shoot to Kill, a movie I saw around the time I came out (I want to …

Manhunter
There exists a Michael Mann film that clocks in under two hours. I am sure there are others, but I had been putting off watching 1986's Manhunter because I didn't know if I wanted to make the commitment to a Michael Mann film. I'd also seen it before, having watched it back in high school, …

Superman in the Seventies
My history with pre-Crisis Superman stories is spotty, to say the least. While I owned a few individual comics in the 1980s and count Superman: The Secret Years as the official "start" of my comics collection, I haven't owned or read a heck of a lot. In recent years, I've picked up some individual issues …
Revival
Called a "rural noir", Revival by Tim Seeley and Mike Norton was a series I first started noticing in Previews about halfway through its run (which happens often when I flip through Previews). So I decided to start reading it issue by issue on Comixology, sort of as a way to "test" the book without …

If I Disappear
I'm not a huge mystery novel reader. Now, I have nothing against the genre and enjoy it when I do read it, it's just not my go-to. But last year, I was bumming around my local Barnes & Noble and saw the rather striking cover to Eliza Jane Brazier's novel about a woman who goes …

I knocked quite a bit of those episodes out while also handling new episodes of my …
Starman vols 7-10
So what do you even say about this comic book that hasn't already been said? I know that I already wrote a review of the first six books of James Robinson's Starman series, but as I sat down to write this one, I was at a loss because I really do feel that I'll be …
Personal Archaeology 24: Awarded for Showing Up
Want to know a little secret? At one point, I received a participation trophy. Actually, it wasn't just one trophy. I used to have multiple participation trophies. I know, right? I'm from the tail end of Generation X. I'm not a Millennial. They're the ones who were constantly given reinforcement, handed trophies for just showing …
