Green Arrow (1988) #9-12, Annual 4; Brave and the Bold (1991) #3
My experience with Mike Grell's Green Arrow run is cursory at best. I've read The Longbow Hunters as well as the prestige-format Shado series and a few random issues, but for the most part it's been a blind spot in my late 1980s DC reading. I know that the first 30 issues or so are …

Star Brand and The Pitt
If I have ever read a New Universe comic, it's been in passing. I remember the books coming out back in the late 1980s because I would see them on the shelves while I grabbed my G.I. Joe books and definitely remember seeing the ads for the line, but it never really seemed interesting to …
Devil House
I was on a horror kick a few years ago--well, a "horror buying" kick, which means that here and there, I'm on a "horror reading" kick, but anyway--and when I was in my local independent bookstore (oh God that sounds so pretentious, I'm sorry), the cover of John Darnielle's Devil House caught my eye. I …
Stay Cool
It's extremely rare that I don't finish anything. I've gone back and watched the last, sad season of a television series that I'd stopped watching just to make sure I got the whole experience. I have collected comic book series way past the point where I realized I was reading them for obligation. And I …
A roundup of books I’ve read (that aren’t Star Wars books or for Required Reading)
When I look at my monthly lists, I'm seeing that most of what I've been doing this year is reading books (and I have to admit that right now, I'm struggling to sit down with one for long periods of time. But I have read quite a few already and I thought that I'd do …

The Intervention
I dont know why I went on this run of "everyone in the same house" movies or reunion movies recently. I think it's because I've also been on this hunt for "smaller" movies that are more character driven and let actors perform rather than rely on set pieces. Nothing against blockbusters or other big movies …
Aliens: Bishop
So over the years, I've dipped into the comic books and novels that make up the "expanded universe" of the Alien/Aliens franchise. While I wasn't "on the ground" with issue #1 of the first Dark Horse series, I did buy one of the issues (#5, I think) off the stands and have an early edition …
