Paul Hix (Waiting for Doom, DCOCD, The Gary Show) recently had me on his podcast Dial F for Flanger. Over the course of the show, I got into the background of The Uncollecting, my collecting habits, and we also talked about getting older and what's going to happen to our stuff after we leave. It …

The Terminator (Dark Horse) One-Shot
I have to be honest that I don't know much about the publishing history of this one--if it was meant to be a miniseries that go the prestige format treatment or if it was considered for one-shot status all along. All I know is that it has two huge comics names attached to it, even …
Blood Sisters
So New Jersey has a pretty good track record when it comes to independent, low-budget movies and when I saw someone on social media link to this very random low budget horror flick from 1987 released by Cannon, I was intrigued. I mean, I love a good shitty horror movie and Cannon=boobs, so ... good, …
Some Trade Paperbacks in Brief
I wound up receiving a few trades for my birthday and then bought a few more with Amazon gift cards, and while my original intent was to review each of them individually, I realized that I liked all of them and they're going to wind up staying on my shelf anyway. Plus, there comes a …
Coherence
One of the better things that the "leveling" of better technology has given us is more accessibility to it, and sometimes we see that in movies in a really good way because we have gotten some truly quality independent and lower-budget films in the the last decade or two. I want to say that horror …
Starslayer #31-34
This is it. Four issues left in a run that I didn't think was going to go as quickly as it did. When I started Starslayer with Mike Grell's run, I figured that I would read a few issues here and there and eventually get around to the entire thing. But since leftover Badger comics weren't hanging …

Suicide Squad #50
I'm going to sound like an old man yelling at a cloud here, but there was a time when milestone issues didn't seem to happen every other month. Granted, there are some titles who premiered right around the same time as one another, so issues ending in 00 might coincide, but there are also a …
Suicide Squad #44-47
After The Phoenix Gambit re-established things and gave the book momentum, the creative team of Suicide Squad had the unenviable task of following it up in some way. Now, I suppose they could have gone for the next bannered storyline, which is what writing for the trade would get us about ten to fifteen years …
Superman (vol. 1) #404 and Superman (vol. 2) #3
These were two comics that I legitimately had to search the blog to check and see if they were misfiled. I've had them for a long time and I could have sworn I had already read and reviewed them. But I guess I mistook them for other late pre-Crisis/early post-Crisis Superman books. Not that they're …
