I am, quite frankly, worried. Earlier this week, Steve Geppi, who is the big man in charge of Diamond Distribution, announced that they were going to stop shipping after this week due to the COVID-19 pandemic and measures put in place to prevent its spread. Now, I understand the reasoning behind what is essentially a …

Trinity (2008) #1, 3-23
After Infinite Crisis, DC Comics decided to experiment with regular weekly and bi-weekly series, starting with 52 in 2006. 52 was not only critically acclaimed (and I'll have to check it out of my library to see if it still holds up--I sold my copies years ago) but also was a huge seller, so they went for it again in …
The Badger #24, 25, 27, 30, 31, 32, 33
Here we go again ... and I think that by finishing these issues, I'm about halfway through my collection of Badger comics that I pulled out of the quarter bins at my LCS. So far, I haven't hated this title, but I confess that I haven't exactly thought it was the most awesome thing I had ever seen. …
Damage Control vol 2 #3 and 4; vol 3 #2 and 4
Yunno, I'm not sure why I have these. I think I was going through my LCS' back issue stash during one of their Shortboxtober promotions a year or two ago and threw them in there because I thought they might be fun to read. I'd heard about the Damage Control series and I did like just about …

Conan: The Destroyer #1
Yesterday, I looked at Blade Runner. Today, it's issue #1 of Conan: The Destroyer, a Marvel miniseries that was also taken from a treasury-sized Super Special. Now, I didn't take the time to watch the movie along with it because it wasn't on my list or in my queue, and I don't recall being particularly fond of it …
Blade Runner
How hard is this one to write? I mean, it's not like I'm completely unfamiliar with Blade Runner, but I have to admit that up until last week, I'd only ever watched the film once, when I was in high school and the "Director's Cut" version had come out on VHS. I remember liking it at the time, although …
It’s not emasculating. You just need to get over yourself.
So about a month or two ago, I'm starting to think about what I can do to better my journaling. My personal journal was turning into a long tome of complaining about myself as well as throwing my worries onto paper, and while that can be healthy, I found that it was also overwhelming anything …

Minimally Curious
So I watch some YouTube videos on my lunch period at work, mainly because I need something to distract myself. One of those has been the Abundantly Minimal channel, which is hosted by Sarah, a former teacher who has been both documenting her "journey" into this lifestyle and offering tips on how to take your …
Moon
Okay, so it was just by total coincidence that I watched this film and the PBS doc Chasing the Moon right around the same time. But hey, maybe this is "moon weekend" at The Uncollecting or something? Anyway. So whereas the documentary was all about the space program, Moon is a 2009 science fiction drama …
Chasing the Moon
I guess that I have to start by wondering if making a documentary about the Apollo 11 moon landing was ever really that necessary. I mean, considering that the show I just watched was broadcast in July 2019, a full fifty years since the mission, it was inevitable. But as someone who has watched a …
