Advice to anyone having trouble finding toilet paper: Show up at Target when they open at 8 AM, or within an hour afterward.
As I said, I work there. We're getting nightly trucks of goods (which...
I work at Target, so the big change for me is that I'm actually working more hours, as we get extra shipments of essential goods in. Also, they gave all hourly employees a temporary raise that I...
This actually brings up something that I kinda realized 20ish years ago, which has become much more pronounced since then: Comic books have a much more niche audience now than 40+ years ago, not...
Post-Crisis Matrix Supergirl. Nobody liked her when she first appeared, the premise was convoluted, and she wasn't the REAL Supergirl, Superman's cousin. Then Peter David came along and wrote her...
As mentioned above, I'm rereading Wally's run of the Flash from the 80s through early 00s, which I already own entirely in single issues, up to its first cancellation, including annuals and related...
I actually just got to this while rereading the series. I really don't remember much from that time period, as I only read those issues once when I first bought them. This was a fun little fill in...

I actually had those. Not the Supermobile or helicopter, but I had the van, newspaper truck, and cop car. I think there was also a city playset, with a building with ramps and stuff, to drive them...
I already have the originals.
But was Wally even in Crisis #8? That was a great spotlight issue for Barry Allen, featuring his death, but Kid Flash wasn't with him at the time. Wally didn't find...
Christopher Priest is awesome. And that totally sounds like the type of thing he'd suggest. After all, this is the same guy who made the nickname "Crab Face Guy" for Kyle Rayner canon.
And this is why DC thinks they can put out any garbage they want and still make a profit. Because people keep buying it.
I hope everyone here is watching this show. It's amazing!
Having been through a few hurricanes when I used to live in Florida, I know the feeling.
Hopefully, it won't hit too hard where you are. Looks like the Carolinas are going to get it along the...
It's a short enough period of time that Bruce's behavior was part of a longer story thread that led to A Lonely Place of Dying, rather than an ongoing change to the character. It was intentional, and...
"until Tim showed up"??? You make it sound like there was a significant time period in the comics between Jason's death and Tim's arrival. It was literally 6 months. Jason died in Batman #429, and...

Flash #119-121 (3) – A whole new way for Flash villains to return from the dead.
Impulse #20 (1) – Impulse learns to play baseball, the hard way. “I see you scored.” I...
They could call it Warriors, and have a big "W" on the door.

IIRC, the Monitor chose it for her. She was a research scientist from Japan who got turned into a superhero during Crisis on Infinite Earths, because Monitor needed someone with those specific...
Because of when I started reading comics, Wally West was always my favorite Flash. And I really liked Bart as Impulse.
In the same time period, I really liked the Bat-books of the 90s. Nightwing...
This thread is about characters, not plot devices. Doomsday wasn't even a good plot device.
You can definitely see in some of the later crossover events how they learned from these early attempts.
I recently reread Underworld Unleashed, and that one worked much better. It had a 3 issue...
It's funny how people are praising tie in issues of things like Flash and Suicide Squad. Those are among the ones that I have, which I thought were just disruptive to their series, and didn't make...
I never read it. I started reading comics a few years after that, but I have Milennium tie-in issues of some comics that I caught up on as back issues. Reading just those tie-ins without the...
Yeah, I could see that being an interesting conversation to have.
Rereading my comics from the 90s now, and most of DC's well established characters knew each other's secret ids back then, but...
I stopped collecting comics about 15 years ago. Just got back into reading comics earlier this year, but instead of buying new stuff, I'm just rereading my old collection. So far, I've bought exactly...
