The return of a certain Ace reporter to her own title after a too-long absence means that there is a temporary return of the Spotlight and spoilers ahead for… “Espionage and investigative journalism have a lot in common. More than just the hours.” I remain annoyed that last year DC didn’t do anything to acknowledge […]

The Spotlight isn’t back, exactly – I’m still mulling some options – but I have a thing I want to talk about, and today is Sunday, so…call it Flashlight Sunday. (Flashlight Funday? No? No.) Anyway, what I want to talk about is a thing I’ve been talking about a lot elsewhere, so I might as […]

Familiar faces in somewhat-unfamiliar places mean that there are spoilers ahead for… “How many times must I remind old dudes that I’m 16?” This was one of the heavier weeks at the comic shop, meaning that I had a lot of books to choose from for the Spotlight which can, sometimes, be a bit of […]

There was a lot to choose from this week, but the publication of a “lost” story means that there are spoilers ahead for… “I was wrong. Ma and Pa were wrong. I can’t do this.” Back in the Aughts, DC published a series called Superman Confidential, featuring story arcs by different creative teams that focused on […]

The fact that I’ve got “Thunderstruck” stuck in my head means that there are spoilers ahead for… “The continued existence of people is the only hope for something other than your culture.” I don’t recall a time in my life in which I saw comics published by Charlton being sold individually on store shelves or […]

I can’t spoil “The Biggest New Mystery in the DC Universe,” as it’s only the first issue so we don’t know what the mystery is, but there are spoilers ahead for… “Actually, yeah.” I was as uncertain about what would be in the Spotlight this week as I was about picking up the first issue […]
