"A while back, I read The Question Omnibus volume 1; I just wrapped up volume 2 the other night. Let me just say, Volume 1 is far superior. Volume 2 wraps up the regular series, which is great throughout. We also get a second Question/Green Arrow…"

"I'm still not through with this book -- the stories are so short, but you really can't read more than two at a time! -- but I've gotten to the longer stories in the Showcase issues. And I have to say... I prefer the short kiddie stuff. For one…"

"I think the B&B printing is a little muddy, but it doesn't bother me too much. The linework is definitely thicker than in the DCCP stories. That's wild that they took the Spirit off of the Police Comics covers. He was included in the Archives…"

"Today I got the DC FINEST Plastic Man and Team-Ups Volumes. I ordered the Suicide Squad too but it's apparently out of stock. Hopefully I'll get it soon.

"A few more episodes now: I've seen through episode 1106. It turns out that it's episode 1104 that's a wrap for Mrs. Johnson; she's knocked unconscious and left unceremoniously on the rug in Maggie's room for eternity. These shows shift the plot away…"
