It's weird that it's taken so long to get here. A hundred-plus comic reviews. Dozens upon dozens of articles on the genre. Lists of all sorts. And I've never just sat down and written up a list of my ten favorite comic book characters? That's not entirely true. On the Ghosts of the Stratosphere podcast,... Continue Reading →

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 →

So back in… 2006 or so, Wizard (GOD! Remember Wizard? Wizard Magazine, the comic magazine that was such a BFD in the 1990’s? Unless you have gone to a Wizard Con in the last few years, how long has it been since you’ve thought of that?) made a list of the top 100 issues of…... Continue Reading →
It’s been a while! I mean, not for you. The nice thing about writing these in bunches is that even though it’s been a few weeks since I penned (boy, that’s an archaic term. Computed, maybe? 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. I’d try to keep up with some stuff in passing (which was much harder back in the formative days of The Internet), but I wasn’t reading or buying anything with... Continue Reading →
