Back in the early 2000s, I came across Jay Faerber's writing via The Titans, which was the book featuring a reunited team that spun out of the Titans/JLA miniseries. From what I remember, Faerber dealt with a lot of editorial interference which led to some pretty infamous storylines (the DEO kids ... look it up …

Harley Quinn’s Strange Love Adventures #1
My #RomanceComicsMonth list is a lot shorter than my #SciFiComicsMonth one was, full of a few trades and this one particular one-shot that came out last year. Once again, I'm pretty sure that I got it in that quarter bin/fill a shortbox sale back in November, which is a great deal considering the fact that …
Magnus Robot Fighter 4000 A.D. #21, 22, 37
Sometimes, the quarter bin sales are really good because you can get random old stuff in fair condition that you might not have otherwise sought out. Case in point are these three books. I recall Magnus Robot Fighter being one of Valiant Comics' books back in the Nineties, right along with Turok, and at one …
Starfire (1st series) #1-8
The reason I have all eight issues of this 1970s DC science fiction series is three-fold: 1) all my copies are in fair condition at best and at most cost me maybe a couple of bucks; 2) Who's Who; 3) Shag. The last two are intertwined sort of. I first learned of this character from …
One-offs for #SciFiComicsMonth
So I've been working my way through a stack of science fiction comics for January (and might not get through the whole stack before the end of the month, so some of these reviews might bleed over into February). There are a few whole runs and series or multiple issues of a title that will …
Ray Bradbury’s The Illustrated Man Special
It's not like I had forgot Topps Comics was a thing back in the 1990s because at one point I owned a Captain Victory comic book and I believe I might have bought their adaptation of Bram Stoker's Dracula when it came out. But when I looked at the cover of the book and saw …
The Crow: Hark the Herald
You know, I'm not really familiar with The Crow as a franchise. I own a trade collection of the original James O'Barr comics that I bought around the time that the movie came out in 1994 and still own my VHS copy of the film. Other than listening to my college roommate's copy of the …
DC Comics Presents #67
I guess if you're a DC fan and you're going to read something for #HolidayComicsMonth, this is one of those books that you're eventually going to get around to? Well, I don't think I actually planned on reading this for December, but I will say that when I came across DC Comics Presents #67 at …
Attack!
Even though I have more war comics to read and eventually review for this blog, I decided to close out #WarComicsMonth with this comic, which I found in a quarter bin back in May and whose cover was intriguing enough that I felt compelled to pick up. Published in 1975 by Spire Christian Comics, "Attack!" …
DC vs. Charlton: a #WarComicsMonth Battle
I guess I should start out by confessing that I considered reviewing all of these comics separately as part of a larger #WarComicsMonth review set, but the month of November got all sorts of crazy and I wanted to make sure I got them all in. Plus, I thought it would be interesting to do …
