Time Warp: The Greatest Cult Films Ever Made Part 2, Horror and Sci-Fi and Part 3, Comedy and Camp: I enjoyed the first parts of this and was eagerly waiting to watch the other two. Part 2 is the gem of all three because of its focus on genres that for years were on the …

The Week in Uncollecting, 4/2/21-4/9/21
Well, the first of these, and hopefully I can keep this up. I won't get into numbers until the month is over, except to say that there's not a ton of "keep/sell/donate/trash" physical media here because I was reading library books or streaming over Hulu, HBO Max, and Kanopy. So let's get to the rundown. …
The Movie Backlog
While I said in yesterday's post that I was going to start posting weekly updates instead of individual reviews (with some notable exceptions), I have noticed that my biggest backlog in reviews is in movies. I keep logging them into Letterboxd but have little to no opinions on them. Okay, I have opinions, but like …
Starslayer #1-3
I have to be honest, I wasn't expecting to find the remaining issues of Starslayer anywhere, and if I did, i was only expecting to find issue #10, which is the only First Comics issue I'm missing. Heck, I'd even resigned myself to having to go buy digital copies of the "remastered" original miniseries if …
Otherworld #1-7
Just as she steps to the mic at a dingy L.A. club, Sibohan is suddenly in terrible pain and she and her friends find themselves being attacked by cybernetic creatures while also being given powers and potentially saved by a sorceress. Such is the inciting incident of Otherworld, the creator-owned Veritgo book written and penciled …
Demolition Man #3
The early 1990s were an odd time for Sylvester Stallone movies. The Rocky and Rambo franchises had ended but he was still in that "bankable action star" phase where he could thrown his weight around Hollywood, and even ventured into restaurant franchising (Planet Hollywood still exists but is not as huge as it used to …
OMAC by John Byrne #1-3
I have to admit that Jack Kirby's DC work is a bit of a blind spot for me. I've read a little bit here and there via one-off reprints or a story being collected in a trade paperback collection like The Greatest Superman Stories Ever Told, but most of my encounters with Fourth World, Kamandi, …
Star Trek V: The Final Frontier (DC Comics Adaptation)
If there's a movie that's at the bottom of my rankings for the original crew films, it's definitely Star Trek V. Directed by William Shatner and coming a few years after the mega success of The Voyage Home, it's a mess of a picture that leans a little too much into its jokeiness and doesn't …

V: The Comic Book #5, 6, 9, 11
You know, I'm not trying to pay a lot for some of the comics that I need, but books like V can be hard to come by, even in cheap bins, so when I saw a stack of them at my LCS for about $3.00 each, I decided to grab a few. After all, there's …
Favorites of 2020, Part 1: Comics
You know, I don't think I've done a "Best of" list for any of the years I have been blogging (save for an end-of-year list at Required Reading). I think the reason for that is because I tend not to be "with it" when it comes to most entertainment. Aside from MCU and Star Wars …
