What is it about January that can just kick your ass? …

V: The Comic Book #5, 6, 9, 11
You know, I'm not trying to pay a lot for some of the comics that I need, but books like V can be hard to come by, even in cheap bins, so when I saw a stack of them at my LCS for about $3.00 each, I decided to grab a few. After all, there's …
The New Teen Titans Vol 2
I don't know if I said this or not when I was writing about the first trade paperback of the Wolfman-Perez Titans, but it's weird to "review" something that you know you're going to keep both in trade and single issue format, and you only own in trade because you don't want to have to …
Classic G.I. Joe Vol. 4
As I move through these trades of Marvel's "A Real American Hero" series, I find myself getting closer to the year and a half's worth of stories that I read and collected in 1987 (for the record, I read issues #59-66 as they were published and my back issues stretched continuously to issue #46). I …
The Year in Uncollecting 2020
Well, I’ll start with an update for December before I get into the year as a whole. Media consumed # (remaining/total)Physical Comics Read: 18 (32/398)Digital Comics Read: 11 (500/538)Trade Paperbacks/Graphic Novels Read: 7 (21/91)Books Read: 0 (122/167)Movies Watched: 2 (120/135)TV Shows Completed: 1 (37/38)Podcast Episodes Remaining: 178 I completely eliminated that last longbox this month and everything is now in a "currently reading" shortbox that includes both unread back …
Favorites of 2020, Part 3: Podcasts
So I looked at things read and things watched, and this time I wanted to write about what I have listened to. This could conceivably cover music, but my listening on Spotify and iTunes this year was mostly random instrumental folk music that I used for background noise while working as well as Bruce Springsteen's …
Favorites of 2020, Part 2: Movies, TV, and YouTube
Yesterday's entry was what I read throughout the year (with a quick note that I'm probably going to have a book-related one on the Required Reading blog at some point before December 31); today's is going to be about what I watched. 2020 being a weird year is an understatement, and as I said in …

Favorites of 2020, Part 1: Comics
You know, I don't think I've done a "Best of" list for any of the years I have been blogging (save for an end-of-year list at Required Reading). I think the reason for that is because I tend not to be "with it" when it comes to most entertainment. Aside from MCU and Star Wars …
Star Trek (1st DC Series) #37-56
I guess when I start reading the second DC Star Trek series, which I have entirely in digital format (except for the adaptations of the fifth and sixth movies), I'll get to read an official lettercolumn explanation as to why the first series ended as abruptly as it did, because I went into the final …
Star Trek (1st DC Series) #31-36, ST IV: VOY Adaptation
I'm pretty sure I've said this more than once, but if there is a bar set for how to work an expanded universe/comics adaptation between two sequels in a movie series, it's the Marvel Comics Star Wars series between Empire and Jedi. Following a close second, however, has been this first DC Star Trek series, …
