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 …

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 …
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 …
As I move through these trades of Marvel's "A Real American Hero" series, I find myself getting closer to the year and a half's worth of stories that I read and collected in 1987 (for the record, I read issues #59-66 as they were published and my back issues stretched continuously to issue #46). I …
I guess when I start reading the second DC Star Trek series, which I have entirely in digital format (except for the adaptations of the fifth and sixth movies), I'll get to read an official lettercolumn explanation as to why the first series ended as abruptly as it did, because I went into the final …
I'm pretty sure I've said this more than once, but if there is a bar set for how to work an expanded universe/comics adaptation between two sequels in a movie series, it's the Marvel Comics Star Wars series between Empire and Jedi. Following a close second, however, has been this first DC Star Trek series, …

I know I just did one of these, but I was recently writing a full review for a few books that I recently read, and I couldn't get beyond two paragraphs, so I decided to sum up what I've read recently. Maybe because I'm pressed for time (and have other things to do) and maybe …
I've been working my way through random comics that I've had in my collection or picked up at random at my LCS's recent huge mega Thanksgiving weekend sale. But with the exception of the ones I have already sat down and written about, I can't say that I have it in me to write about …
I cannot look at this title and want to say "Camelot! Camelot! Camelot!" "It's only a model" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4tWBILtrSU Okay, with that out of the way, let's get to the comic. Camelot 3000 is a book that has an interesting place in both comics history and my collecting history. As far as comics history is concerned, …
A recent huge sale at my LCS saw 30,000 comics on sale for a quarter and while I didn't really have the time to go through every single longbox that was there, I bought a pretty decent stack of about 10-20 comics, some of which plugged holes in my collection (although I've got to admit …
