Now, when my LCS changed owners and then locations last year to a much larger store, they had an overflowing back issue inventory that was wholly unorganized and in places overwhelming. Over the course of the next few months, they worked to get that all organized and while doing so, had a table full of …

Terminator: The Burning Earth
Wrapping up the continuity of Now Comics' Terminator books is this five-issue miniseries that is known for being the first published work of a young artist named Alexander Ross, or as we all know him, Alex Ross. Now, I admit that I bought this on eBay back in 2019 for a total of $9.52 (including …
The Terminator (Now Comics) #1, 6, 8, 10, 11, 12
As I said in my previous entry on these books, I've been picking up various issues of Now Comics' The Terminator series from the late 1980s and early 1990s whenever I see them in discount bins or at conventions. There are three total series, with this one being the first published although it technically takes place after …

Terminator: All My Futures Past
So a few years ago while rummaging through some fifty cent and quarter bins at my LCS, I came across a couple of Terminator comics from Now, an independent publisher that had the license for the movie (along with a couple of other properties at the time, namely The Real Ghostbusters and Married ... With Children). Back during my early …
Arak, Son of Thunder #11-20, 29, 32-34, 37-39, 43
So in the interest of "zeroing out" my unread comics (because that "longbox of the unread" could be moved to a shortbox ... if I had the shortbox), I've decided to continue with reading the incomplete runs of series that I own, then deciding if I want to finish collecting the entire thing. Which, yes, …

The Essential X-Men Vol. 3 and Vol. 4
With John Byrne off the title after the "Days of Future Past" storyline, Chris Claremont begins what will be a long continuous run of writing the X-Men with a rotating lineup of artists with these two volumes featuring the return of Dave Cockrum as well as Paul Smith's short tenure as artist and the first …
V: The Comic Book #1-4, 7, 8, 10, 17
I'm sure that I will have a lot more to say or write about V via Pop Culture Affidavit at some point in the future because while I didn't watch all of it when it first came on in 1983 (at six, I was definitely too young), I did watch parts of V: The Final Battle when it first …
Timewalker #3, 4
Since I'm part of the "comic book circle of life", Professor Alan sent me these two Valiant books. And since it's Professor Alan, he sent them with the challenge of "Uncollect These!" Challenge accepted, sir. The publication date on these is 1994 (with an early 1995 cover date), so we are definitely in the "bust" …
Starslayer #28-30
I know that I already reviewed issue #30 last year, but seeing that I'm doing the entire run of Starslayer, and the story is a continuing arc, I want to include it here, especially since that issue is the second of a two-parter and this means I finally got the other half of the story. These three …
The Black Flame (Starslayer backups and issue #27)
So whereas Grimjack had a few backup stories before a team-up with Starslayer and then his own title, the next backup feature, "The Black Flame", ran for the remainder of Starslayer's run (except for the final issue) and had its own full-length feature in issue #27. So since I've reached that issue in my reviews, I …
