Suicide Squad #32-39
Not that it was the big DC Comics company-wide crossover of 1989, but The Janus Directive was one of the few multi-book crossovers to be published between Invasion! and Armageddon 2001, so I guess you could say it was the closest that the company had to an "event" that year. I say this because the …
Some Comics in Brief 5/3/20
I've got some longer reviews for a huge chunk of Suicide Squad comics I've read in the last few weeks, and I was going to try to review all of these comics individually or at least in sets, but as I looked at the huge stack of comics that had piled up as a result, …
Superman (vol. 1) #404 and Superman (vol. 2) #3
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 …

The Badger #34, 35, 36, 37, 38
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 …
What The–?! #5
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 …
Closed for Business?
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 …
Trinity (2008) #1, 3-23
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 …
The Badger #24, 25, 27, 30, 31, 32, 33
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. …
Damage Control vol 2 #3 and 4; vol 3 #2 and 4
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 …
