The vast majority of my digital comics are Star Trek books that were ripped from a DVD-ROM a few years ago (thanks to J. David Weter for sending it my way), and I've been slowly making my way through all of them. And the DVD-ROM, which came out sometime in the 2000s, was pretty comprehensive …

Green Arrow (1988) #9-12, Annual 4; Brave and the Bold (1991) #3
My experience with Mike Grell's Green Arrow run is cursory at best. I've read The Longbow Hunters as well as the prestige-format Shado series and a few random issues, but for the most part it's been a blind spot in my late 1980s DC reading. I know that the first 30 issues or so are …

Star Brand and The Pitt
If I have ever read a New Universe comic, it's been in passing. I remember the books coming out back in the late 1980s because I would see them on the shelves while I grabbed my G.I. Joe books and definitely remember seeing the ads for the line, but it never really seemed interesting to …
Miracleman
I'm going to fully admit up front that this post--and the reading for it--were a result/reaction to the recent article about Neil Gaiman. I read it, was completely disgusted, and looked around my house to see what works of his I owned so that I could purge them. It turns out there wasn't much. I'd …
Superman Family #170, 174, 186, 200
So I will be the first person to admit that my experience with Superman comics has been spotty at best. When I was a kid, I owned a few because I loved the movies and shows like Super Friends, but I think that amounted to an issue here and there during the pre-Crisis era and …
Mystery Box Marvels
At this year's Baltimore Comic-Con, I once again bought a mystery box from Third Eye Comics. It was the second time I'd done so and even though I probably didn't need a box of random comics, I had so much fun going through all the books last year that I had gotten in that mystery …
A #WarComicsMonth Wrap-Up
Among the series and miniseries that I read during this November, there were a few random books that really didn't need a single review, so just like I've done in the past (and did last month for #HorrorComicsMonth), I decided to just do quick reviews of all of them. And this will wrap up #WarComicsMonth …
Light Brigade
My LCS had a quarter bin sale this past weekend, and while it is contrary to this blog's mandate, I have said time and again that quarter bin sales and comic conventions are the exceptions to the rule. Conventions, of course, are about meeting creators and attenting panels in addition to the rows upon rows …
Blackhawk (1989 series)
I've got four posts to write about items associated with #WarComicsMonth, which I finished reading and watching yesterday, and I want to start with what I was looking forward to the most this year, which was reading my way through the 1989 Blackhawk series that was written by Martin Pasko and Doug Moench (who wrote …
Two-Fisted Tales #2, 3, and 5
So last year at the Baltimore Comic-Con, I went to the TwoMorrows Publishing booth and bought their retrospective about war comics called Our Artists At War. It's a fascinating read ifyou have never had the chance to look at it, and one of the series of comics that jumped out at me was EC's contribution …
