(You may consider this another Peter David tribute post if you like.)
Shortly after updating Aquaman's origin story in the Aquaman: Time & Tide limited series (colloquially known as "AT&T"), Peter David was given an Aquaman ongoing series. In the firs
As I recently mentioned elsewhere, the “A Cover a Day” and “A Cut From a Cover” discussions have reawakened my interest in DC Comics of the Silver Age. There’s no way I’m going to be able to acquire even a small number of the comics I’m looking for a

I found out just yesterday (along with the rest of you) that Peter David died. When prominent comic book creators pass away, I like to pay tribute to them by reading their works. Not that I'm looking to make a "discusussion" of this, but "Supergirl"

George Wendt, best known as Norm from Cheers, died today, May 20, 2025, at the age of 76. He had a lengthy career before then as one of those "It's that guy!" actors, and continued to work regularly after Cheers completed its long run. He is survived
The topic's as simple as its title: what comics are you reading these days?
I'm not so much curious about the going-back-to-stuff-from-the-past readings, although those are interesting; I'm wondering what books that are just hitting the stands my f
I haven't been looking forward to this collection quite as much as the upcoming Superboy one, but still I'll likely get around to reading it sooner rather than later, hence the stub. (If anyone else wants to delve into it ahead of me, please feel fre
We just finished watching Rise of the Planet of the Apes (for the third time, I think). I have been in love with this franchise ever since I was a kid. I was disappointed with the 2001 version, but Rise was everything I thought I wanted: high product
