I may have asked this before, but I'd like to ejjimicate myself on the Bond movies. The way I envision doing so is to buy Blu-rays with some extras, so I can watch the movies (in order, naturally) and learn about each one in the process.
When I was young, I had always heard that the prerequisite for comic book fandom was owning a complete set of All Star Comics featuring the JSA, and that for second generation fandom it was Wally Wood's T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents. Because we now live in t
Comics Buyer's Guide used to have "Retro-Views" and Comic Shop News has its "Back Issue Beauties." I don't know what to call them, but I love posting about favorite old comics series. (I'd say 1997 qualifies as "old" in 2024; YMMV.) Judgement Day is

This morning I went to Target to look for the DC SUPER HERO GIRLS Batgirl and Wonder Woman for my cousin's daughter. She and her little brother (my godson) are into super-heroes, LEGOs, Star Wars and even pro wrestling. I like to think that's because
BLOOD HUNT #5 (OF 5) All three of the press releases I got on this issue tout the "heavy price" that must be paid to beat the vampires. I think we explored this last week, and my guess then was that the "heavy pric

In 1976, Marvel entered into an agreement with MGM to produce an adaptation of Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey in "Treasury Edition" format. An original ongoing series sprung from that, and Jack Kirby wrote and drew both the adaptation and th
This is it! The final chapter of the Cursed Library is here. Will Jinx assume her rightful role on Satan’s throne? Can the unlikely duo of Danni and Madam Satan save her? It’s going to take a hell of a lot to set
The first issue of The Defenders I every bought was Giant-Size #1 in 1974; the second issue I bought was (probably) #106 (1982), which was a crossover with Captain America. When Trish Starr appeared in Hulk #233 (1979) and I had no idea who she was,
OK, I'll be handling this one a little differently than some of the other TV series I've re-watched. I don't own every episode of this, and what I do own isn't in broadcast order, so I'll be watching them as I find them, and updating this initial pos
