These were two comics that I legitimately had to search the blog to check and see if they were misfiled. I've had them for a long time and I could have sworn I had already read and reviewed them. But I guess I mistook them for other late pre-Crisis/early post-Crisis Superman books. Not that they're …

Last year I did two whole series called "Fighting the Indepdendents" and "A Valiant Effort), where I deliberately read all of the independent comics in my backlog (at the time). Most of those books wound up in the donation or trash piles but kept a few with the hopes of collecting more. Mike Grell's Starslayer …
There was a time in the early 1990s when I read Mad and Cracked like crazy every summer. That's a really specific time to read those two magazines, but those were my version of Rob Kelly's "Mountain Comics" because I'd only ever buy them while on vacation in New Hampshire. The silly humor appealed to …
I am, quite frankly, worried. Earlier this week, Steve Geppi, who is the big man in charge of Diamond Distribution, announced that they were going to stop shipping after this week due to the COVID-19 pandemic and measures put in place to prevent its spread. Now, I understand the reasoning behind what is essentially a …
After Infinite Crisis, DC Comics decided to experiment with regular weekly and bi-weekly series, starting with 52 in 2006. 52 was not only critically acclaimed (and I'll have to check it out of my library to see if it still holds up--I sold my copies years ago) but also was a huge seller, so they went for it again in …
Here we go again ... and I think that by finishing these issues, I'm about halfway through my collection of Badger comics that I pulled out of the quarter bins at my LCS. So far, I haven't hated this title, but I confess that I haven't exactly thought it was the most awesome thing I had ever seen. …
Yunno, I'm not sure why I have these. I think I was going through my LCS' back issue stash during one of their Shortboxtober promotions a year or two ago and threw them in there because I thought they might be fun to read. I'd heard about the Damage Control series and I did like just about …

How hard is this one to write? I mean, it's not like I'm completely unfamiliar with Blade Runner, but I have to admit that up until last week, I'd only ever watched the film once, when I was in high school and the "Director's Cut" version had come out on VHS. I remember liking it at the time, although …
In my most recent Uncollecting Update post, I made a comment about how I'm thinking of mixing these comics up with others because they are starting to feel like a bit of a chore. I had decided to make my way through them because they were a nice chunk of my unread collection and I'd …
I looked at an issue of The Badger last year during the "Fighting the Independents" blog post series and said that I'd consider looking at or reading other issues of the book if I came across them on the cheap. Lo and behold last year when my LCS was bought and moved locations to a bigger store. …
