I was curious enough about the Howard Chaykin Shadow miniseries to want to collect the issues I don't own; I can't say the same when it comes to this one. These comics are about halfway through the mature readers series written by Andrew Helfer with art by Kyle Baker (although I don't think Baker is …

Starslayer #5, 6
So this begins my next big run of comics, and I acquired it very similar to how I acquired all of those Badger comics that I recently finished muddling through. I had an issue of Starslayer: The Log of the Jolly Roger (for brevity's sake, I'm going to simply call it Starslayer in my reviews) in a comic …
Starman (1988) #39-45
So, one of the easy parts of collecting this Will Payton Starman series was that it only lasted 45 issues and I think that I found the majority of them on the very cheap; furthermore, the issues that I am missing aren't particularly valuable (unlike the missing Suicide Squad books that I might just buy digitally or in trade …
Badger #49, 53, 54, 60, 70
I have finally reached the end of this set of Badger comics that I fished out of quarter bins and massive comics sales over the past couple of years. If you have been following me here, you know that with the exception of a few issues, I haven't really been enjoying the series. In fact, at one …
Starman (1988) #26-36
I'm missing issue #25 of the Will Payton Starman series, so I do not have the issue where he ditched what Shagg calls the "peanut butter and jelly costume" and changed to the black, red, and white costume that would finish out the series. I mean, I know that isn't the only reason to own that issue …
Starman (1988) #13-24
During his first year of stories, Will Payton became a hero, got to the bottom of his origin, and faced off against the Power Company, who were not only created by the scientists who inadvertently gave Starman his powers but were sent to capture and destroy him. At the end of issue 12, that storyline …
The Massive
A little while back, I reviewed the first trade of Northlanders, Brian Wood's viking saga. In looking at my trade paperback collection, I notice that I also own most of DMZ (the volume 11 trade is proving a pain in the ass to acquire on the cheap), the graphic novel/trade paperback collections of The New York Four and The New …
Badger #47-48
Is it overly snarky of me to say that the best thing about these two issues is that I accidentally spilled a glass of water on them and therefore, I don't have to contemplate the ranking and can just chuck them in the recycling bin? The story is something about Amazon Nuns in the Jungle …
Badger #46
We roll along with these Badger issues, slotting them in here and there between stretches of other books like Suicide Squad or Starman, which I can read in batches. This one is cover dated April 1989, but more than likely came out in December or January of 1989 if the classic "four months ahead" cover dating of the 1980s is …
Starman (1988) #1-12
Okay, before I start this, I have to laugh and say that every time I start blogging through a series or run I've read, I think about where I got these particular comics, then realize it was probably in one of two places: a massive sale at my LCS or a convention. In this case, …
