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 …
Crucible: The Final Impact
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 …
