Well, after Conan, Red Sonja, and Thor, where do you go? Gotta go with Groo. I remember seeing issues of Groo in my LCS back when I was collecting G.I. Joe and The Transformers in 1986-1987. It looked like a silly comic book and I may have even flipped through an issue or two that …

Thor Vol 2. #44 (Legacy #546)
I know that Thor is a superhero, but I think there's enough crossover between Asgard and the Avengers for a #FantasyComicsMonth tag. So after getting this issue in a Marvel Comics Grab Bag at my LCS, I decided to save it for September. "As Lives A Memory …" is part of a Marvel gimmick month …
Red Sonja FCBD 2022 Special
I did the one Conan the Barbarian comic I own, so why not do Red Sonja? Like a lot of you, I love Free Comic Book Day. Because it's free comics. That's pretty much it. Okay, I also love the sales that my LCS puts on around FCBD, which in the past netted me some …
Conan the Barbarian #221
It's #FantasyComicsMonth courtesy of Professor Alan, who sent me this via the #ComicBookCircleofLife. Can I use more hashtags. I need to do a longer blog post or perhaps even a podcast episode about my history with Conan. As it is with many in my generation, it starts with the Arnold Schwarzenegger films, of which Conan …
Classics Illustrated #108: The Knights of the Round Table
I have this unwritten rule with Classics Illustrated issues: if I see a book that looks interesting and it's under $2.00, I will probably grab it. That's important because sometimes those books go for upwards of $5, especially if they're in good condition and I honestly am not here to collect CGC-quality copies. In fact, …

Sgt. Preston of the Yukon
I have no explanation as to why I own this comic except to say that I Found it in a quarter bin on Free Comic Book Day and thought it was so random that I had to grab it. So yeah, pretty much that. This is a Dell publication that came out in 1953 and …
Starman vols 7-10
So what do you even say about this comic book that hasn't already been said? I know that I already wrote a review of the first six books of James Robinson's Starman series, but as I sat down to write this one, I was at a loss because I really do feel that I'll be …
The Essential X-Men Vol. 7 and Vol. 8, The Essential X-Factor Vol. 2
We have reached the end of a reading project! Well, sort of. There is definitely more X-Men to read after this if I want to keep reading Chris Claremont's legendary run on the title. But this does mark the end of the reading project that began with the Essential Classic X-Men #1 a few years …

Starman vols 1-6
I think I might have mentioned how I've been doing a read-through of James Robinson's Starman series, so forgive me if this is a bit of a repeat, but I'm so backlogged on reviews and have been trying to sort through so much that it seems to be a blur of "Did I do this? …
All-Nighter
So I have this pile of comics on my guest room dresser that's all independent-label stuff that I've already read. But in curating my collection (i.e., going through what I've already read and deciding what to keep), I feel like I need to reread a number of them in order to make a full decision. …
