I know that I've tried to catalogue the individual comics that I've read here either in individual entries or groups of small reviews, but I've spent the last several days reading a huge stack of comics. While reading, I thought about doing those reviews but then realized the entry or entires would be incredibly tedious …

The Scorched, Sonja, and The Lot
Here we go with another small stack of indie comics and one graphic novel that I got at both my LCS's quarter bin sale and the mystery pack from the Baltimore Con. I've been trying to get through as much as I can lately, but stacking them in an "order" that makes some sort of …
Nostalgia and heart done wrong and right
In my quest to get back into watching some of the many films that I have on my list, I decided to make a concernted effort to at least stream something once a week (or so) during December. The criteria for what I would stream more or less depended on what I was in the …

Conan the King #50-55; King Conan (2021-2022 series) #1-6
When Conan the King #50 opens, we're back where we left off ... in issue #28. I am not sure when the decision to cancel the book came about; Conan the King, unlike most of the other books in Marvel's line, was a bi-monthly 48-page book (and cost $1.50). But after a long story arc …

Quasar
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/f/ff/Quasar-32.jpg/220px-Quasar-32.jpg So back around the time I first started this blog, I read through several random issues of Quasar and was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed them. I don't know why I had thought the character was lame or some sort of '90s mort, but that had been my impression going in and …

On June 3rd, Chris Honeywell, one of the founders of the Two True Freaks podcasting network, and his roommate Trudy lost their home due to a fire. Chris, Trudy, and Bernice the Cat are all fine and healthy, but they lost everything but the clothes on their backs. Chris has always been one to give …
