Lots of catching up to do with my weekly comic book purchases, and the week I'm talking about today was one where I bought a lot of comic books, so let's get on with my thoughts. Astro City: Dark Age Book 3 #4 Wow, this is taking too long. The…
As I threatened, I'm going to talk about the comics I bought in the weekly schedule since I last wrote about them on the blog. Just because. The last time I did this was 23 July 2009, so let's continue as if no time had passed ... Detective Comics #855…
Only two comics? On the day that San Diego Comic-Con began? That's some sort of universal imbalance right there. Or it's some sort of karma to enable me to write some notes about them, or something. Anyway, onto the thoughts, as we mourn the passing of a comic that was…
