Kanopy had this Canadian horror anthology show from 2024 available for streaming. Running six episodes, it was based on the stories published in r/nosleep subreddit. Each episode consists of a mains tory along with an interview with the original writer. I like a good anthology series and six episodes seemed doable, so I jumped in. …

Wait, how many demonic possession movies did I watch?!
I'm a casual horror person. Over the years, I've watched my fair share of slasher and zombie flicks, but lately I've been interested in stories about demonic possession. Maybe there's something alluring in stories about the fight for your soul against an evil entity. Too bad that a number of these movies are "meh," especially …

Army @ Love
When I rifled through the bins at last year's Baltimore Comic-Con. I came across several issues of a Vertigo series from several years back called Army @ Love. he covers looked intriguing enough, and though it would be interesting. I mean, how do you combine romance and war books? Cynically, it seems. Written by Rick …
Speed Running My Comics Piles
I know that I've tried to catalogue the individual comics that I've read here either in individual entries or groups of small reviews, but I've spent the last several days reading a huge stack of comics. While reading, I thought about doing those reviews but then realized the entry or entires would be incredibly tedious …
Firestar #1-4
Like many people in my generation, I'm familiar with the Marvel character Firestar from Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends, and while I do know that she made her way into the Marvel Universe back in the Eighties, I wasn't 100% sure how except that it somehow involved the X-Men. I'd read maybe one or two …
A trio of Bat Books
Among the books that I gathered up at the Baltimore Comic-Con either from bins or mystery boxes were several Bat-books from different eras. Two of them were signed--Robin #40 and #41, which were signed by Chuck Dixon. I've automatically decided to keep those (in addition to a Superman issue signed by Dan Jurgens) without reading …
Indie Comics from the Quarter Bin
I'm working my way through the big pile of comics, many of which are from the Baltimore Comic-Con and my LCS' quarter-bin sale over Thanksgiving weekend. I thought I'd try and pop in from time to time with lists of mini reviews covering what I've read. For this, it's a smattering of comics from Image, …
SHOCKtober recap: Horror Mini-Reviews
October being ... well, October, I spent a lot of time watching and reading horror stuff, much of which wasn't actually on my to-read/to-watch list. We're talking new horror comics, some old horror comics, and at least one novel that I grabbed from the public library. But I did knock a few things off the …
Comics from the Depths of the Nineties
I've been working my way through a pile of back issues that I've bought over the last couple of years, mostly from my LCS' quarter bin sale. In a number of cases, they're beat-up copies of Eighties Marvel books that are so damaged and mildewed, recycling them is really the only option. In other cases, …
The Legend of Kamui
I should start by confessing that I've ready very little manga. There is no real reason for it except that my comic book preferences have always bent toward superheroes and the manga explosion of the last two decades passed me by because of other interests. The Legend of Kamui, therefore, is probably the first real …
