Absolute Batman #1 is going into its 10th printing. I still have no interest, but holy shit. At some point, the print runs on those later printings will be so small, they’ll end up becoming more rare and sought after than the earlier printings. DC has created a monster they weren’t prepared for wit...

Spaceballs: It has some good lines, but overall, it isn't Mel Brooks' best movie. I think Spaceballs was first Mel Brooks movie I remember watching. When you’re 11 years old and a big SW fan, that’s an easy sell. But Blazing Saddles is clearly his best movie. Some recent movies I’ve watched. Tron:A...

I decided to read the Dark Droids event first, then realized I was missing the final issue of the mini. Then I read the D-Squad tie in mini and finished off the runs of both Bounty Hunters and Doctor Aphra, which both finished their runs right after Dark Droids. Dark Droids 1-4(but not 5). After the...

“Back in my day, television was called books.” Back in my day, Tom Foolery was known as Roll o Tomassi. And Eternal Padawan. And Ro11o Tornassi. And Captain Marvel. And Robin. And the Chosen One. And the Devourer of Worlds. And Steve. And Billy. And Molly. And Zero, who is also Digby Ipswich, who i...

My wife got me the new Modular Shopping Street for my birthday. I got up to bag 14 and then discovered it was missing like 15-20 pieces from the bag. Of all the Lego sets I’ve ever bought, I’d say four of them were missing pieces. And even then it was like ONE piece. So this was unusual and annoying...

The rest of the Daredevil stuff. Giant Size Daredevil oneshot. In 2024, Marvel did a bunch of oneshots to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Giant Sized books. This one says Daredevil on the cover, but it’s a Kingpin story. Written by Ahmed and set during his ongoing, I just finished, it’s basica...

What’s the opposite of Hidden Gems? Since I’ve been reading Daredevil a lot the past couple weeks, I looked at the older books on cbrealm. For some reason, much of Frank Miller’s run has been dropping in price. Still up there, but apart from a couple key issues, they’ve all got red arrows on them. I...

The best narratives to win the SuperBowl for the eight remaining teams, from worst to best. 8. Denver. Ugh. Is anybody rooting for Denver to make a run in the playoffs? 7. The Patriots. No. Quit hogging all the Lombardi trophies. But even the Pats are more appealing than Denver. 6. Da Bears. One mig...

Today’s books 1/14/26. Amazing Spidey:Torn 4. Aquaman 13. Avengers 34. Legacy # 800. They skimped out and didn’t do a full collage of all 800 issues. Instead, they just had 8 covers, the 1st issue, and then every hundredth cover; 100 thru 700. But, this issue and the next two(34-36) each have a wrap...

The latest issue of GIJoe concluded the Deadnok War story arc…and had the bestest, jaw dropping fucking twist in forever. I won’t spoil it because anarky waits for the Trades to come out, and hopefully he can avoid getting spoiled and experience it raw for himself. But I yelled ‘ohmifuckinggod!!’ an...

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...
