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 …

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? …
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. …
I took a break from my X-Men read-through for a little bit so that I could focus on some of the smaller trades that I had as well as some books and newer stuff I got for Christmas, which seems to be the way to go with these read-through projects (see also: Titans, Star Trek, …

So I went back and checked and it seems that I haven't written about my Titans read-through project since January 31, 2021 when I reviewed the second volume of the trade paperback reprints of the Wolfman-Perez stories. Since then, I've made my way through all of the trades that were available and then through the …
With more than half the week off, I've actually been able to do a little bit more than watch just one movie, and while I wanted to start another book, I opted for reading all trade paperbacks and graphic novels while also making my way through some of the stuff I've saved on DC Infinite. …

It's November, and for the uninitiated, that means it's War Comics Month (shout out to Luke Jaconetti, btw). I'm a fan of comics of all genres, and while I don't own a ton of them, I do enjoy a classic war book; heck, I did an entire podcast on one. And with a pile of …
Again, it's been a while since I have posted anything, but seeing as it's Halloween, I thought I'd write about the spooky/horror stuff that I've been clearing out of my lists lately. Now, I'm not a huge horror fan. I dabble in some movies and books throughout the year and like to read at least …
After a really productive week, a bit of a lull, as I started two books and have spent much of my downtime watching the Olympics. But I've got a few things of note here, one of which is that my movie list grew because Kanopy put a bunch of new documentaries and other films I'd …
I'll be attending the Baltimore Comic-Con tomorrow, just like I have been every year for the past five or six years, and while I'm doing some of my usual con prep of getting my signing list together (much smaller than last year because we're spending less time there), I have also been thinking of how …
