2024 Look Back on Mobile

Introduction As I started to implement the theme months over the last couple of years on the page, they evolved and changed. Not always for the best, as we saw with Frightober this year. But, always trying to make thing better around here, I tweaked the format slightly again this year. Two years ago, I […]

TMNT December 2024

Introduction I thought I signed up for three or four of the new TMNT titles. Perhaps wishful thinking. Last month, I only received the main title and this month, I got that main title plus Nightwatcher. So, while less than anticipated, I received two books for TMNT December 2024. And, now, for the good stuff.

X Books November 2024

Introduction I started this trend last month, I think. I missed almost all of the Krakoa era books other than a few random issues and the very end. I tried to make up for it by ordering as many books as possible this time around. Due to less free time and the usual down tick

Thank You Nintendo and Sega

X-Books October 2024

Introduction I went from missing the entire Krakoa era (other than the very end) to trying to collect as many of the mutant based titles as possible. As a result, X-Books October 2024 outpaces the other Marvel books for last month and this month. And, I haven’t even collected all of the possible books. Each

Marvel Comics October 2024

Introduction My commitment to the page can not be questioned. My ability to live up to that commitment, however, remains very much in question. Last month, I posted 7 articles and I posted 5 so far this month. Hopefully, with Thanksgiving break, I make it to double digits this month. It remains to be seen.

DC Comics November 2024

I posted last month’s DC Comics already and now need to discuss DC Comics November 2024. The

DC Comics October 2024

Introduction I continue to try to make up for the failure of Frightober by catching up on the comics I missed from last month. So, this week, in addition to the current shipment, I need to review DC Comics October 2024. You may remember that previously when this happened, I simply skipped the month. But,

Thank You Atari

Introduction As mentioned previously, Frightober died on the vine this year due to unforeseen circumstances. But, we promise to come back bigger and better next year. We also pledge to make Thankful for Gaming bigger than ever this year. I started with comics earlier this weekend. Now, today, I kick off the thankful with Thank
