Dark Horse – Scarlet

(Marvel 2010-2016, DC 2018-2019) Like many writers, I’ve heard Brian Michael Bendis’s creator owned work is better than his superhero work for DC/Marvel.. Since I wasn’t a fan of his Marvel stuff, I decided I would give this independent story a try. At first, I thought this was an espionage story. Judging from the cover…
Dark Horse Legends – ‘Byrne Books’

(Dark Horse 1992-1994) My plan was to do a complete read through of just John Byrne’s Next Men. I had read all of the 90s series long ago, but hadn’t finished the 10s stuff yet. While reading, I kept finding other related titles to add to my list. That list seemingly just kept growing and…
Dark Horse Legends – John Byrne’s Next Men

(Dark Horse Comics 1992-2011) We are getting ready to move and I’ve been packing things away. Which makes it tricky to read/review and take pics of books. I might be able to get a few more posts in, or they might have to wait. Hopefully not months, but hard to say right now. Last time…
It was the Best of Times, the Worst of Times…

The 1990s was an interesting period for Comics. You had the creator’s rights issues come to a full boil. There were speculators and artists jumping in to make a fast buck. And gimmick covers became as excessive as the worst Hair Metal Bands! Other than a near total collapse of the Comics industry, probably the…
The Star Wars Archive

(Taschen 2020) I’m way behind on blogging and especially getting posts up for this blog. However, when I saw this item on Amazon I thought I’d share as some of my readers happen to be Star Wars fans. My Thoughts I haven’t had time to read the book yet, but it looks like it’s filled…
Codename: Knockout

(DC 2001-2003) Verdict Nor for me. My Thoughts This is an easy one to write off for me. Honestly, I don’t mind a bit of nudity and sex in media. I know some of my fellow Americans hate that kind of stuff, but I guess I’m more open minded and not bothered by it. I…
EC Comics – Vault of Horror vol. 1

(EC Comics 1950) This marks my first “real” review for this site, and it wasn’t what I had in mind. EC Comics I had heard of EC Comics talked about by comics professionals many times over. So, once I started seeing this line of reprints pop up, I decided it was probably time to find…
Champions (RPG) Comic

(Eclipse 1986-1987, Hero Comics/Heroic Publishing 1987-1988*) *Note: the publication of this series is very convoluted. It took me forever to figure out, and why I didn’t get around to reading it till way later! It started with the six issue mini series in Eclipse. Then moved to its own series in Hero Comics, later Heroic…
