I'm pretty sure I've said this more than once, but if there is a bar set for how to work an expanded universe/comics adaptation between two sequels in a movie series, it's the Marvel Comics Star Wars series between Empire and Jedi. Following a close second, however, has been this first DC Star Trek series, …

So about a month ago, I was prepping my most recent episode of "Fallen Walls Open Curtains" where I covered events from three Olympic Games during the Cold War, and I wondered if my cable service carried the Olympic channel and whether or not there's anything worth watching on it. I discovered ... Yes, we …
I know I just did one of these, but I was recently writing a full review for a few books that I recently read, and I couldn't get beyond two paragraphs, so I decided to sum up what I've read recently. Maybe because I'm pressed for time (and have other things to do) and maybe …
I've been working my way through random comics that I've had in my collection or picked up at random at my LCS's recent huge mega Thanksgiving weekend sale. But with the exception of the ones I have already sat down and written about, I can't say that I have it in me to write about …
I cannot look at this title and want to say "Camelot! Camelot! Camelot!" "It's only a model" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4tWBILtrSU Okay, with that out of the way, let's get to the comic. Camelot 3000 is a book that has an interesting place in both comics history and my collecting history. As far as comics history is concerned, …
A recent huge sale at my LCS saw 30,000 comics on sale for a quarter and while I didn't really have the time to go through every single longbox that was there, I bought a pretty decent stack of about 10-20 comics, some of which plugged holes in my collection (although I've got to admit …
Professor Alan, in his infinite wisdom, has taken to sending me comic book adaptations of classic literature via the #comicbookcircleoflife. The reading results have been mixed--some of those Classics Illustrated issues were a bit of a slog to get through--but a great positive result has been the growing library of comic literature adaptations in my …

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, …
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, …

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 …
