After a lackluster post-TMP ride through the 23rd century courtesy of Marvel and a similarly disappointing adaptation of TWOK via IDW, I probably shouldn't have much hope for any Star Trek comic. But the reputation of this first DC series has always been a good one, and I've even heard things along the line of …

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (IDW) #1-3
So like I said in an earlier post, the Star Trek comics universe was bereft of an adaptation of The Wrath of Khan when it came out in 1982 because at that point, Marvel's series had been canceled at the end of 1981 and DC's first series wouldn't premiere until the end of 1983. DC …
Star Trek (Marvel) #10-18
So we're flying through space again, exploring strange new worlds, and reaching the end of the post-TMP Marvel run, a run whose ending in late 1981 would wind up leaving a gap in Trek continuity coverage, as DC would pick up the license after The Wrath of Khan left theaters but before The Search for …
Showcase Presents: Teen Titans, Vol. 1
My Life as a Teen Titan starts with New Titans #71 because that's the first issue I ever bought. My favorite Titans era starts with DC Comics Presents #26 because that's when the Wolfman-Perez era begins. But I own Titans books way beyond that in both directions and since I finally filled the last gap …
Star Trek (Marvel) #1-9
Back when I started collecting in the Nineties, I was still very into Star Trek, having been watching the original crew movies on VHS and reruns of the original series on WPIX. That led to me reading a few issues of the second DC comics series, which was in its third year and was being …
Classic G.I. Joe Vol. 1
When I was ten years old, I read G.I. Joe comics for the better part of a summer, which I looked at in depth when I released my podcast miniseries "Origin Story" back in 2016-2017. Those were the books that were collected in later volumes (specifically #6 and 7 of the IDW reprints), and in …
Three Reading Projects at a Time? Really?!
I was looking at my longbox of unread comics yesterday and aside from a couple of random one-off issues or incomplete miniseries, I have only one big stack of physical comics left, and that's the handful of DC's first series of Star Trek. Now, my original thought was that I was going to wait until …
The Terminator: Endgame #1-3
In 1985, another Terminator emerges from a time flare, this one in the Canadian tundra. How many times can this happen? And how many times are we going to see both Skynet and the human resistance go into the past and not see any consequences for the future? Well, without spoiling too much, we get …
The Terminator: Hunters and Killers #1-3
I mentioned last review that this series, the penultimate Dark Horse series based on The Terminator was out of continuity. Unfortunately, in flipping through it again, it actually does apply to the continuity that's been established, but not in a way that it affects the story being told in the other series. Instead, it is …
Terminator: Secondary Objectives #1-4 and The Enemy Within #1-3
The primary objective was to protect Dr. Hollister from the rebels from the future. With that mission somewhat compromised due to Hollister's research being destroyed (although someone mysteriously mailed him a Terminator skull at the end of the first series), the remaining Terminator from the prior series now turn their attention to the secondary objective: …
