Aha! I’m finally caught up on my comic book reading after SVP. This two-week interval’s books are dominated by the Zero-Year crossover, which I find to be mostly a Zero-excitement crossover. The main story in the Scott Snyder penned Batman is good, but the tie-in books are all pretty flat and make me wish for […]

Comic Reviews for October 23
OK, OK, I know this is a tad late… I’ve been busy: I was at the 2013 SVP meeting in Los Angeles. I’ll try to catch up on almost a month’s worth of comics, because this batch represents two weeks of backlog. I’ll drop in my review of the next two week’s worth sometime this […]
Comic Reviews for 10/2 and 10/9

For example: this month, I have purchased 11 Villains Month books, and I usually get 11 different books from DC’s […]

Comic pull list 9/4/13
I’ve decided to merge two of my hobbies by blogging my reactions to the comic books I read each week. Here’s my first installment. Are there spoilers? You betcha! This was a big week for me, with eight books, because I skipped last week (it was a fifth Wednesday). As you know, comic books are […]
My comics pull list
I’m a big comic book fan. I have been since I was a little kid. To give you an idea of my mania: when I was in college at the University of Tennessee, I discovered that I could buy comic books with my meal plan money… I went through a phase, as many comic book […]
