It feels so good to be caught up with my comic books. I may fall behind over the next few weeks, because a pair of NSF deadlines are approaching, along with the final stretch on our new exhibit at the MNCH. This week I’m also planning on posts discussing some of my recent publications, as […]

Comics for 11/20/13: Batman Zero Year lives up to its name
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 […]
Comics for 11/6/13
I know, I’m sooo behind on my comics. I’ve been busy. Comics are my second hobby, so they fall by the wayside for work, family, and exercise. At work: we’ve been closing in on the new exhibit. Here’s a picture of the giant sloth skeleton getting installed. Here are my comic ratings for the […]
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 […]

Comics Pull List for 9/18/13 – Will Villains Month Ever End?
This week I only got four books: three of the Villains Month issues and one Annual for The Shadow. I chatted with Stu at Emerald City Comics on Wednesday when I picked up my books, and he pointed out that my hypothesis that DC was trying to increase sales with the Villains Month issues was […]
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 […]
