Now, when my LCS changed owners and then locations last year to a much larger store, they had an overflowing back issue inventory that was wholly unorganized and in places overwhelming. Over the course of the next few months, they worked to get that all organized and while doing so, had a table full of …

Terminator: The Burning Earth
Wrapping up the continuity of Now Comics' Terminator books is this five-issue miniseries that is known for being the first published work of a young artist named Alexander Ross, or as we all know him, Alex Ross. Now, I admit that I bought this on eBay back in 2019 for a total of $9.52 (including …
The Terminator (Now Comics) #1, 6, 8, 10, 11, 12
As I said in my previous entry on these books, I've been picking up various issues of Now Comics' The Terminator series from the late 1980s and early 1990s whenever I see them in discount bins or at conventions. There are three total series, with this one being the first published although it technically takes place after …

Terminator: All My Futures Past
So a few years ago while rummaging through some fifty cent and quarter bins at my LCS, I came across a couple of Terminator comics from Now, an independent publisher that had the license for the movie (along with a couple of other properties at the time, namely The Real Ghostbusters and Married ... With Children). Back during my early …
Two Movies About Ghosts
Don't ask me why I decided to pin a bunch of ghost stories to my Kanopy watch list, but it seems like I've got horror on my mind. Maybe it's because of the way the world is going to complete shit this year and I need to see something that feeds my current pain or …
Into the Forest
Sometime in the near future, society is devastated by a cataclysmic event, one that causes a massive power outage throughout the country. Living in this society are Nell, Eva, and their father, who prior to the event moved to a house in the middle of a secluded forest. Eva (played by Evan Rachel Wood) is …
Arak, Son of Thunder #11-20, 29, 32-34, 37-39, 43
So in the interest of "zeroing out" my unread comics (because that "longbox of the unread" could be moved to a shortbox ... if I had the shortbox), I've decided to continue with reading the incomplete runs of series that I own, then deciding if I want to finish collecting the entire thing. Which, yes, …

Podcasts About Cults
So in my entry yesterday, I mentioned that I have a fascination with stories about cults, but didn't find the documentary The End of the World Cult to be that fascinating. Sure, it was interesting, but it was very "by the numbers." I don't think that I needed Jonestown-type footage to make it interesting; I think what …
The End of the World Cult
I've always been fascinated by cults. No, I'm not joining one. Calm down. So I've always been fascinated by cults and recently fell down a rabbit hole of podcasts about them (a review to come later, but I will tell you that Generation Cult, IndoctriNation, and the Waco season of American Scandal are really great), …
The Essential X-Men Vol. 3 and Vol. 4
With John Byrne off the title after the "Days of Future Past" storyline, Chris Claremont begins what will be a long continuous run of writing the X-Men with a rotating lineup of artists with these two volumes featuring the return of Dave Cockrum as well as Paul Smith's short tenure as artist and the first …
