Here. We. Go! I have to confess that I only ever intended to buy this trade when DC started reprinting the Wolfman/Perez Titans because while I have owned all of these issues for more than twenty years, I know that they're pretty valuable and since I have a few of them signed by Marv Wolfman, …

Legends of the DC Universe #18, 80-Page Giant #1
My Teen Titans read-through takes me on a detour into the late Nineties, when DC was publishing books with legacy characters and was also taking the time to dive into the "untold" stories of its history. Legends of the DC Universe was one such title, and while I have only read four issues (these two, …

Classic G.I. Joe Vol. 3
When a trade paperback begins with "Silent Interlude", which is easily one of the most famous issues of the series, you know it's going to be good. It would be about thirty issues and three or four years until I actually started collecting and reading G.I. Joe as it came out, so this stretch of …
While We’re Young
I have to admit that while I had saved Noah Baumbach's 2014 "people confronting middle age" comedy to my Kanopy watchlist a while ago, I kept skipping it in favor of other movies (mostly crappy horror movies and rockumentaries). I'd tried watching his film Kicking and Screaming sometime back in the Nineties, but never got …
Teen Titans Spotlight #21
With the ongoing (though slightly waning) success of The New Teen Titans, in 1986, DC published Teen Titans Spotlight, a series much like Solo Avengers, featured the various team members in their own stories. It's a series that I will get into more later on when I am finally into the "Baxter Series" era of …
Teen Titans Annual #1 (1999)
A quick look at Mike's Amazing World of Comics shows me that between 1998 and 2004, DC produced several replica/reprint and "lost" classic Silver and Bronze Age 80-page giant annuals (the "Teen Titans Lost Annual" from 2008 is on that list as well but I'm going to say it doesn't qualify because it has different …
Silver Age: Teen Titans
So I have to admit that the early 2000s are a period of time I don't remember well, at least when it comes to comics. I think this is probably because I was in in my early twenties and therefore occupied with other things; plus, I had moved from New York to Arlington, Virginia, and …
Teen Titans Lost Annual #1
My rereading all of my Titans comics is going to wind up including books that I have already read through, especially when I hit anything starting with DC Comics Presents #26. And though I'm clearly in the middle of the Silver Age adventures of the team (between Showcase collections), there are a few individual comics …
It Comes At Night
I guess since it's Halloween, I should look at a horror movie. And since we're in the middle of a pandemic, I guess I should look at a pandemic horror movie? It Comes At Night is an A24 release and that alone is what drew me to the film because everything I've seen from the …
Classic G.I. Joe Vol. 2
Oh boy, did this get better. Not that volume 1 of the Marvel G.I. Joe series was complete crap or anything, but it suffered from the adjustment pains that a number of series can go through when they start, whether it be comic books or TV series (seriously, have you seen how many series are …
