GoCollect.com pooped out on me this week. I was starting to feel confident in its list, and the separation by publisher was convenient. Since it's unavailable this week (and for all I know forever) I'm looking at other sites, which aren't quite as co
I am enjoying this mini-series more than I probably should. I liked Stern/Romita Spider-Man in the ‘80s and was interested in the mystery surrounding the Hobgoblin’s identity. As soon as Tom DeFalco took over the writing from Roger Stern, though, he
I don't remember when it was, exactly, that I lost interest in Superman. There was a time, from Crisis on Infinite Earths until well into the 2Ks, that I had complete collections of every Superman title published (Superman, Action Comics, Adventures
I hadn't planned on buying this series, but I was attracted by morbid curiousity. Besides, this was a light week, so might as well launch a discussion and see if it attracts any attention. this series has been described as "an unexplored chapter [of

This one unfortunately took longer than I thought it would to go from first draft to finished novel between a couple of computer crashes, the loss of a beloved family pet and the passing of my father but SOLITAIRE 2: THE AGENDA has finally been publ
I haven't seen any discussion here about Gaiman, and maybe it's because we don't really want to go down that road with another celebrated person. I don't know even know what to say. I've admired his writing, my brief interaction with him at a con was
Hey, are any of you guys in the Boston/Providence, R.I. area? I'm going there for a conference during the week of February 15-21, and I'd like to connect with a fellow Legionnaire while I'm there.

I have been aware of the Menomonee Falls Gazette for quite some time, but I had never seen a copy until recently. For most of my life I have had an idea for a "comic strip newspaper." Little did I know such a thing already existed. The Menomonee Fall
GODZILLA: INFINITY ROAR #1 (OF 5), $5.99: I still have the last Marvel vs. Godzilla series of one-shots on my to-read pile. I think the novelty has worn off.

Emerkeith, real name Walter Loyd Lilly, joined us long ago, too long ago ago for me to find his first post. But he stopped posting in late 2020, and many of us feared the worst. That worst was realized when Le
