This one's about two months too late because I'd honestly meant to read these books during March, which is #InternationalComicsMonth on the 'ol hasthtag list. But for some reason, I just got caught up with other things and decided to skip it and come back to it at some point. They were books that I …

THIS IS A TRUE STORY. It is known to the Police Department of one of our largest cities as the most difficult homicide case in its experience, principally because of the diabolical cleverness, intelligence and cunning of a completely unknown killer....The record is set down here factually---as it happened. Only the names have been changed---to …
Coming once again from a Marvel grab bag, this is another adventure from another hero whose adventures I'd checked out of a few years before this issue was published. I'd bought the occasional Spider-Man book as a kid and loosely followed the titles in the early 1990s, dipping in and out but never amassing anything …
When it comes to the X-Men, I really don't know anything that's happened since 1993. Okay, I know about Onslaught and have gleaned a few things from reading Previews and "best of" lists over on CBR, but for the most part once I left the X-books after "Fatal Attractions" and "Blood Ties", I didn't really …
I have to admit that I have a fascination with DC's early graphic novels from the 1980s. Whereas Marvel launched their line with The Death of Captain Marvel and focused a number of their offerings on their superheroes, DC went in an entirely different direction by sticking with mostly science fiction. The most valuable of …
And so it's come to this. Issue #88, I think, was the first issue of Teen Titans that I picked up since sometime around the middle of Final Crisis, which was in late 2008 and the Titans were somewhere around issue #63. So that's roughly 20 issues that I skipped and 20 issues that I …

Oh man, where do I start? I actually had to order one of these books online so that I could complete the series, and thank God I had a credit from the site I ordered from, so all I had to pay was shipping. Because this series? Just ... ugh. After the reunited Titans crashed …

So there's three directions in which the Titans wind up going after the Blackest Night and Cry for Justice events: Teen Titans continues as it was, Titans becomes a Deathstroke-led villain team, and several of the founding Titans move into Justice League of America. This happened, as I've mentioned a couple of times, when I …
Man, this was tough. I knew that once I started the Titans series, I was going to hit a point where this team is put through the wringer several times over, something that would eventually lead to them breaking up, with several of them headed to the Justice League and a couple of them heading …
