It's extremely rare that I don't finish anything. I've gone back and watched the last, sad season of a television series that I'd stopped watching just to make sure I got the whole experience. I have collected comic book series way past the point where I realized I was reading them for obligation. And I …
A roundup of books I’ve read (that aren’t Star Wars books or for Required Reading)
When I look at my monthly lists, I'm seeing that most of what I've been doing this year is reading books (and I have to admit that right now, I'm struggling to sit down with one for long periods of time. But I have read quite a few already and I thought that I'd do …

The Intervention
I dont know why I went on this run of "everyone in the same house" movies or reunion movies recently. I think it's because I've also been on this hunt for "smaller" movies that are more character driven and let actors perform rather than rely on set pieces. Nothing against blockbusters or other big movies …
Aliens: Bishop
So over the years, I've dipped into the comic books and novels that make up the "expanded universe" of the Alien/Aliens franchise. While I wasn't "on the ground" with issue #1 of the first Dark Horse series, I did buy one of the issues (#5, I think) off the stands and have an early edition …

Miracleman
I'm going to fully admit up front that this post--and the reading for it--were a result/reaction to the recent article about Neil Gaiman. I read it, was completely disgusted, and looked around my house to see what works of his I owned so that I could purge them. It turns out there wasn't much. I'd …
Giving Up the Ghost
This is going to be a little bit of an odd "review" of a book I just finished because I'm pretty sure it's going to veer into "talking about me" territory in a way that I try to avoid. I've had Eric Nuzum's Giving Up the Ghost: A Story About Friendship, 80s Rock, a Lost …
The Year in Uncollecting 2024
How can you say "Happy New Year!" when you are looking down the barrel of something that is going to be flat-out awful? I mean, I try not to be a doomsayer; in fact, for all of the pissing and moaning I do on a regular basis, I actually try to be optimistic. Or maybe …
