Called a "rural noir", Revival by Tim Seeley and Mike Norton was a series I first started noticing in Previews about halfway through its run (which happens often when I flip through Previews). So I decided to start reading it issue by issue on Comixology, sort of as a way to "test" the book without …

If I Disappear
I'm not a huge mystery novel reader. Now, I have nothing against the genre and enjoy it when I do read it, it's just not my go-to. But last year, I was bumming around my local Barnes & Noble and saw the rather striking cover to Eliza Jane Brazier's novel about a woman who goes …
Starman vols 7-10
So what do you even say about this comic book that hasn't already been said? I know that I already wrote a review of the first six books of James Robinson's Starman series, but as I sat down to write this one, I was at a loss because I really do feel that I'll be …
The Essential X-Men Vol. 7 and Vol. 8, The Essential X-Factor Vol. 2
We have reached the end of a reading project! Well, sort of. There is definitely more X-Men to read after this if I want to keep reading Chris Claremont's legendary run on the title. But this does mark the end of the reading project that began with the Essential Classic X-Men #1 a few years …

Starman vols 1-6
I think I might have mentioned how I've been doing a read-through of James Robinson's Starman series, so forgive me if this is a bit of a repeat, but I'm so backlogged on reviews and have been trying to sort through so much that it seems to be a blur of "Did I do this? …
All-Nighter
So I have this pile of comics on my guest room dresser that's all independent-label stuff that I've already read. But in curating my collection (i.e., going through what I've already read and deciding what to keep), I feel like I need to reread a number of them in order to make a full decision. …
The Essential X-Men Vol. 5 and Vol. 6; The Essential X-Factor Vol. 1
I took a break from my X-Men read-through for a little bit so that I could focus on some of the smaller trades that I had as well as some books and newer stuff I got for Christmas, which seems to be the way to go with these read-through projects (see also: Titans, Star Trek, …

Titans Together Again
So I went back and checked and it seems that I haven't written about my Titans read-through project since January 31, 2021 when I reviewed the second volume of the trade paperback reprints of the Wolfman-Perez stories. Since then, I've made my way through all of the trades that were available and then through the …
The Week in Uncollecting, 1/9/22-1/15/22
Wonder Woman by Phil Jimenez Omnibus. I've had this one for a while, and it pretty much put a button on what I wanted to own as far as Wonder Woman was concerned (though I do want to read Greg Rucka's run on DC Infinite). Jimenez's run on Wonder Woman was one that I read …
The Week in Uncollecting, 1/1/22-1/8/22
First week of the year, and I've got a few longer hardcovers and books, and a lot of time in the Eighties. Here we go! DC Through the '80s: The End of Eras and DC Through the '80s: The Experiments. These were on my wish list for a while and I got both for Christmas, …
