For more on this countdown so far, check out: #100-#96! #95-#91! #90-#86! On with the list: #85. Robin #46 By Chuck Dixon, Cully Hamner (and Sal Buscema!) Hey, I loved this title. Robin was the first DC book I ever started buying monthly (though that distinction is not truly amazing; it was very quickly followed... Continue Reading →
My wife and I just recently moved into a new house. The house-shopping process took... a very long time. We got to the point where we figured we were cursed. But eventually, the stars aligned, and we were able to both buy a new home and sell our old one. During the shopping process, we... Continue Reading →
Some of the most memorable and fascinating characters in all of fiction were first created for comic books. The last decade-plus of movie ticket sales can more than substantiate that. But even before cinematic effects caught up with the way these larger-than-life heroes deserved to be presented, you are still talking about characters that have... Continue Reading →

But that means something else. Computered? Going with “computered”) volume nine of this series, it will presumably come out... Continue Reading →
Superman and Batman. The World's Finest Team. The two oldest and, likely, most well-known superheroes of all time. They are the pillars of comic book heroism. Without them, there may not be a Spider-Man or an Avengers or any comic book movie boom to speak of. A lot is owed to each of them. One... Continue Reading →
This week we're turning heel and delving into best assortments of villains in all of comics! A dictionary that I didn't actually bother looking at presumably defines a villain as "the kind of person you chill like" and a gallery as "a place with... art, right? I don't know". But in the world of comic... Continue Reading →
Back in my high school days, I went through an unfortunate “I’m too old to keep reading comic books” phase for two or three years.
