So I am a mark for 1980s DC science fiction books, especially since they tend to be the oddballs in the company's collection (alongside the licensed property books that aren't Star Trek). I've grabbed a couple here and there, most notably an issue or two of Hex, Atari Force, and the Atari Force-related graphic novel …

Siegel and Shuster: Dateline 1930s
Billed as "Previously Unpublished Works from the Creators of Superman", this is a comic book that was published by Eclipse comics in 1984 that I'd never heard of until I saw it for pretty cheap (definitely less than a new comic) in my LCS' back issue bins. I've never been the hugest aficionado of Golden …
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 …
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 …
The Essential X-Men Vol. 7 and Vol. 8, The Essential X-Factor Vol. 2
We have reached the end of a reading project! Well, sort of. There is definitely more X-Men to read after this if I want to keep reading Chris Claremont's legendary run on the title. But this does mark the end of the reading project that began with the Essential Classic X-Men #1 a few years …

Starman vols 1-6
I think I might have mentioned how I've been doing a read-through of James Robinson's Starman series, so forgive me if this is a bit of a repeat, but I'm so backlogged on reviews and have been trying to sort through so much that it seems to be a blur of "Did I do this? …
All-Nighter
So I have this pile of comics on my guest room dresser that's all independent-label stuff that I've already read. But in curating my collection (i.e., going through what I've already read and deciding what to keep), I feel like I need to reread a number of them in order to make a full decision. …
The Essential X-Men Vol. 5 and Vol. 6; The Essential X-Factor Vol. 1
I took a break from my X-Men read-through for a little bit so that I could focus on some of the smaller trades that I had as well as some books and newer stuff I got for Christmas, which seems to be the way to go with these read-through projects (see also: Titans, Star Trek, …

Titans Together Again
So I went back and checked and it seems that I haven't written about my Titans read-through project since January 31, 2021 when I reviewed the second volume of the trade paperback reprints of the Wolfman-Perez stories. Since then, I've made my way through all of the trades that were available and then through the …
