Opening the door to a wider world of expression
Being late to the party means I missed out on the one DC/H-B crosssover I was most interested in (Black Lightning/Hong Kong Phooey), but I still grabbed one of them, anyway. Let’s take a look at what we have to work with. From DC: THE MAN OF STEEL #1 – A new era begins for…
I considered taking a look at the final issue of Super Sons this week – it was pretty good! – but some thoughts I didn’t fit into last week’s post and a conversation at the comic shop mean taking a dip into the archives, with spoilers, I guess, ahead for… DC Comics Presents Annual #1…
It’s Saturday. I’ve been to the comic shop. This is what I bought. I may write about one of these tomorrow, or I may write about some other comic entirely. So you know what I got, but you don’t necessarily know what you’re going to get. Let’s take a look. From DC: BATMAN BEYOND #20…

Happy Free Comic Book Day! Normally I hate standing in line…and today wasn’t any different, but I was pleased that the line I had to stand in just to get into the comic shop was so long. (Though I did still hate standing in it.) I didn’t grab any freebies (for myself), but here’s what…
