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 …
OMAC by John Byrne #1-3
I have to admit that Jack Kirby's DC work is a bit of a blind spot for me. I've read a little bit here and there via one-off reprints or a story being collected in a trade paperback collection like The Greatest Superman Stories Ever Told, but most of my encounters with Fourth World, Kamandi, …
Star Trek V: The Final Frontier (DC Comics Adaptation)
If there's a movie that's at the bottom of my rankings for the original crew films, it's definitely Star Trek V. Directed by William Shatner and coming a few years after the mega success of The Voyage Home, it's a mess of a picture that leans a little too much into its jokeiness and doesn't …

V: The Comic Book #5, 6, 9, 11
You know, I'm not trying to pay a lot for some of the comics that I need, but books like V can be hard to come by, even in cheap bins, so when I saw a stack of them at my LCS for about $3.00 each, I decided to grab a few. After all, there's …
The New Teen Titans Vol 2
I don't know if I said this or not when I was writing about the first trade paperback of the Wolfman-Perez Titans, but it's weird to "review" something that you know you're going to keep both in trade and single issue format, and you only own in trade because you don't want to have to …
