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 …
Titans #14-23, Blackest Night: Titans, Justice League of America: Cry for Justice, The Rise of Arsenal/Fall of Green Arrow
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 …
Finishing up the X-Men
At one point in my collecting, I started buying Marvel's Essential volumes of the X-Men. It started with a couple of the Uncanny X-Men volumes, moved on to the Classic X-Men, and I eventually wound up having every storyline from X-Men #1 in 1963 all the way up to the end of the Inferno crossover. …
Harley Quinn’s Strange Love Adventures #1
My #RomanceComicsMonth list is a lot shorter than my #SciFiComicsMonth one was, full of a few trades and this one particular one-shot that came out last year. Once again, I'm pretty sure that I got it in that quarter bin/fill a shortbox sale back in November, which is a great deal considering the fact that …
G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero #36
I guess it's only coincidence that I went from a "G.I."-titled comic from DC to a "G.I."-titled comic from Marvel as a one-two in my #WarComicsMonth reading. Then again, if I was going to make a concerted effort to read war comics for November, I was going to throw in at least one Joe book, …
G.I. Combat #239
I'm a few days late starting #WarComicsMonth because life has just gotten in the way of things, but I have a nice pile of books to get through during the next few weeks, all of which are from various eras and various companies. All of these are unread books or re-reads that I wanted to …
The Visitor (2020)
I kind of missed Valiant's revival at its height, which probably happened because it came about during a time when I was either completely out of comics or minimally involved. I ran across their booth at the Baltimore Comic-Con one year, though, and bought a couple of trades, and every once in a while, I …
Sword of Sorcery #1
I'm going to close out my #FantasyComicsMonth comics with this one, a book that DC Comics published in 1973 and which bears one of the names of the genre. It's not an "origin of the genre" comic, especially because sword and sorcery books have been around for quite a long time, but I do think …
Marvel Preview #22
I'd say that if it's not the discount trades shelves that are the foul temptress of my LCS, it's the magazine longboxes. That's where I've been finding a lot of the old-school Marvel Graphic Novels as well as old 'Nam Magazine, and this particular book. Marvel Preview, to my knowledge, was a catch-all series that …
