Saladin Ahmed’s Daredevil run. With the atrocious RomitaJr covers. Like, seriously, go google these abominations and ask yourself how the editor okayed them to make it onto the racks. Issue 7 is particularly heinous. 1-2. Father Matthew is running a church and taking care of a handful of at risk kid...

Daredevil! The last time I read Daredevil, he had just been put in prison(but he was allowed to keep his mask on…which is still the dumbest premise I have ever….whatever) and Elektra has taken up the mantle of DD in Matt’s absence. Here’s the end of Zdarsky and Checchetto’s first run. 29-30. Matt is...

1. “Don’t Bring Me Down” by ELO is about the Skylab Space Station entering the atmosphere and burning up over the Indian Ocean in 1979. 1a. He’s not saying “Bruce”. He’s saying “groose” which some think is a variation of the German ‘gruß’ 2. The characters on Gilligan’s Island are based on the seven...

1/7/2026’s tiny stack of books. Amazing Spidey 19. Marvel:Black White & Blood and Guts 4. The final issue has short stories featuring Dr Strange, Blade, and the 70s era Defenders. None were very memorable. Nova Centurion 3. Nova defeats Ravenous by sucking away his energy with some mining equipm...

12/31’s books. Here’s a story. My comic guy texted me and said the books would be late last week. They arrived on Friday, but I was already at work, so I didn’t get in until Saturday. Even though it was basically a skip week for both main publishers(DC didn’t release anything and Marvel had less tha...

Stranger Things 5. Since they released it in three different chunks, I waited until all the episodes were out before I watched them, but before the internet was a deluge of spoilers. There were some very cool cliffhanger endings in the episodes. Will wiping the blood from his nose at the end of epis...

I am dubious. There’s like 50 named “important” characters in this movie. That’s like barely two minutes of screen time per person. All I’m seeing is a bunch of shock value cannon fodder for when they reboot everything. Yeah, Cyclops will have a “hell yeah!” moment. And then he’ll get what Wash got ...

Here are some more reads before I start in on the Daredevil books that will finish off the box. Damage Control 1-5. The guy that created the sitcom The Goldbergs wrote a semi-funny miniseries. He’s no Dwayne McDuffie, but he at least tried to keep the satiric vibe of the original trio of minis alive...

After they blew a 16 point lead and then threw an interception with 2:00 left, I turned off the game(I had to give my daughter a ride to work). Came home and was mildly shocked. Given that we needed that win, and the Vikings win over GB, it makes that diarrhea performance the week before that much m...

Due to inclement weather, UPS didn’t ship my comic shop his books on time. So for the first Wednesday in a very long time, I shan’t be buying new books.

They’re supposed to arrive on Friday.

The final batch of ‘C’ books* Clobberin’ Time 1-5. A Thing miniseries from 2021. Ben Grimm has adventures teaming up with Hulk, Wolverine, and Dr Strange before eventually having to team up with Dr Doom and a rogue Watcher to deal with a time traveling villain who wants to reset the entire universe ...

12/24’s books. Absolute Superman 14. The final showdown between Kal and R’as Al Ghul. Sol sacrifices itself to destroy the Brainiac code. R’As stabs Kal with a Kryptonite sword and is on the verge of killing him. But Kal’s determination inspires the citizens of Smallville to stand firm, and the Laza...

The next batch of ‘C’ books. Children of the Atom 2-6. I read the first issue back in 2021 when it came out. This was promoted as a team of new X-Men sidekicks of the original X-Men. But the actual series is more forgivable and fun. A group of normal human kids who are X-Men fans that hang out in fa...

I’ve read there are FOUR different mini-teasers. I’m not going to Avatar four different times to confirm that. I watched someone’s hidden phone version on YouTube. I got the gist. It would’ve been more impactful if they’d kept that character under wrap until the movie debuted. So far, the three tea...

He’s releasing the issues oniine for free. Then, I think you can get the collected editions ordering directly from the AR website.

But you’ll have to verify that because it’s been awhile since I went there.
