ALIEN VS. CAPTAIN AMERICA #1 (Of 4), $5.99: I don't read all the alien and predator crossovers, but I might get this one in trade. Because A) I'm a big Captain America fan, and B) I'm an even bigger Captain America fa
Batman himself was largely untouched by the Crisis on Infinite Earths, but the same thing cannot be said for those around him, notably Jason Todd, Selina Kyle and Leslie Thompkins. Batman didn't even get an officially labeled "Crisis" crossover issue
I’ve got big news, Legionnaires, and it’s not great.
Most of you are familiar with ClarkKent_DC, aka KC, aka Kelvin Childs. Kelvin isn’t just another Legionnaire, he’s an OG Legionnaire whose genial comments, enormous knowledge and expansive spirit h
I've just recently reread Masks, a 2012 Dynamite sight-issue series where the Shadow, the Green Hornet & Kato, the Spider-Master of Men, the Green Lama, Miss Fury, the Black Terror, the Black Bat and a "new" Zorro must team up to stop an authoritaria
My very first "Batman" comic (and my fourth overall) was Detective Comics #381. My second Batman comic (and my eighth overall) was #388. Both of these were drawn by the art team of Bob Brown and Joe Giella. #381 was written by Frank Robbins, and #388

I didn't buy this Eclipse series when it first came out in 1984. Several years ago, however, I saw the entire series except for issue #1 for sale at Half Price Books. (That's pretty common at HPB. Either selle
This thread led me to think about all of the various movies I've seen over the years which revolved around "World War Three" happening and the aftermath thereof. While I've seen more than seven, seven is the number that I have currently available on
Captain's Log: I'm rethinking this weekly post, since there's an actual need for listing small publishers. I haven't been doing that since Diamond's Previews list folded, but now I guess I ought to. I thought about it too long this week, and don't ha
I'll never forget the first Batman comic strip by Marshall Rogers.
Marshall Rogers' version is "movie adjacent." Batman is new to Gotham City. He has recently defeated the Joker, but the Joker survived. Rogers introduces a new threat: the Catwoman. He
I started reading comic strips (or having them read to me) at roughly the same time I started reading comic books. But in my youngest years, I was more familiar with comic strips (with the "Sunday funnies" coming into our house at the rate of once a
It just occured to me that there might be some utility in having a thread where we post what cons we're going to (and other assorted nerdery) to see if anyone wants to meet up for a while, and see each other in person! (gasp!)
I just finished reading all of For Better or For Worse, one of three family-oriented continuity strips that occur in more-or-less "real time" that I've been reading for most of my life (the other two being Doonesbury and Funky Winkerbean). But the gr
