The !mpact Comics line from DC was never something I ever got into. I think that I may have mentioned this in a previous post, but i picked up the first issue of The Legend of the Shield because of the Captain America pastiche and The Comet for the Tom Lyle artwork, and I wound …

The Week in Uncollecting, 11/21/21-11/26/21
With more than half the week off, I've actually been able to do a little bit more than watch just one movie, and while I wanted to start another book, I opted for reading all trade paperbacks and graphic novels while also making my way through some of the stuff I've saved on DC Infinite. …

The Week in Uncollecting, 11/1/21-11/14/21
This is really a multi-week update because I've been "compiling" reviews in my notebook for a few weeks now. Plus, my most recent "weeks in ..." have been horror-themed and war-themed multi-review posts instead of one of my usual ones, so this is making up for that. Despite this piling up, there's not too much …
The #WarComicsMonth in Uncollecting
It's November, and for the uninitiated, that means it's War Comics Month (shout out to Luke Jaconetti, btw). I'm a fan of comics of all genres, and while I don't own a ton of them, I do enjoy a classic war book; heck, I did an entire podcast on one. And with a pile of …
The Spooks in Uncollecting, 10/31/21
Again, it's been a while since I have posted anything, but seeing as it's Halloween, I thought I'd write about the spooky/horror stuff that I've been clearing out of my lists lately. Now, I'm not a huge horror fan. I dabble in some movies and books throughout the year and like to read at least …
Books, Trades, and Graphic Novels in Brief, 9/1/21-10/1/21
Aliens: Hive: One of the original Dark Horse series that came out after Earth War, which was the final one I bought. I probably had every intention of keeping Aliens going but didn't have the money, to be honest, because Dark Horse's comics were $2.50 in the early 1990s. Anyway, this was enjoyable but I …

Zeroed Out
Yesterday, I read the DC Comics adaptation of Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country. That means I can officially say that I have read every single physical comic that was in my "unread" pile. I knew this day was coming, and it would have come sooner if I hadn't stalled out on reading the digital …
Starslayer #1-3
I have to be honest, I wasn't expecting to find the remaining issues of Starslayer anywhere, and if I did, i was only expecting to find issue #10, which is the only First Comics issue I'm missing. Heck, I'd even resigned myself to having to go buy digital copies of the "remastered" original miniseries if …
Otherworld #1-7
Just as she steps to the mic at a dingy L.A. club, Sibohan is suddenly in terrible pain and she and her friends find themselves being attacked by cybernetic creatures while also being given powers and potentially saved by a sorceress. Such is the inciting incident of Otherworld, the creator-owned Veritgo book written and penciled …
Demolition Man #3
The early 1990s were an odd time for Sylvester Stallone movies. The Rocky and Rambo franchises had ended but he was still in that "bankable action star" phase where he could thrown his weight around Hollywood, and even ventured into restaurant franchising (Planet Hollywood still exists but is not as huge as it used to …
