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. …

The Essential X-Men Vol. 5 and Vol. 6; The Essential X-Factor Vol. 1
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, …

Titans Together Again
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 …
The Week in Uncollecting, 1/9/22-1/15/22
Wonder Woman by Phil Jimenez Omnibus. I've had this one for a while, and it pretty much put a button on what I wanted to own as far as Wonder Woman was concerned (though I do want to read Greg Rucka's run on DC Infinite). Jimenez's run on Wonder Woman was one that I read …
The Week in Uncollecting, 1/1/22-1/8/22
First week of the year, and I've got a few longer hardcovers and books, and a lot of time in the Eighties. Here we go! DC Through the '80s: The End of Eras and DC Through the '80s: The Experiments. These were on my wish list for a while and I got both for Christmas, …
The Week in Uncollecting, 11/21/21-11/26/21
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. …

Contagion
When the COVID-19 pandemic took hold in the United States in March 2019 and we all went into a lockdown, Steven Soderbergh's Contagion jumped to a top spot over various streaming platforms. I didn't choose to watch it then--I opted for Netflix's Tiger King (which, coincidentally, dropped its second season yesterday)--but I made a point …
The Spooks in Uncollecting, 10/31/21
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 …
Films in Brief, 9/1/21-9/21/21
Time Warp: The Greatest Cult Films Ever Made Part 2, Horror and Sci-Fi and Part 3, Comedy and Camp: I enjoyed the first parts of this and was eagerly waiting to watch the other two. Part 2 is the gem of all three because of its focus on genres that for years were on the …
The Huntress (1989) #13
After two six-issue storylines, we get a one-and-done story where Helena Bertinelli is dealing with the fallout from everything that she has been through with her family, the mob, the serial killer, and the mob. It's presented at the very beginning as her being pulled in two different directions and literally being torn apart in …
