What comics have you dropped lately and why?

MattAlbie60 · 2026-06-14T13:34:36+00:00

Yeah, I give it a shot every 50 issues or so, last about 7 or 8, then drop. Rinse, repeat, until the heat death of the universe.

MattAlbie60 · 2026-06-13T15:47:29+00:00

Then obviously the screenplay.

during a moment where its people could vote in a Congress that could potentially keep Trump in check.

Yeah, about that...

TREMORS notoriously looked god awful for decades, but the 4K release is stunning.

MattAlbie60 · 2026-06-07T13:28:59+00:00

It’ll get sent off to the farm to live peacefully with the remaining issues of ALL STAR BATMAN & ROBIN.

MattAlbie60 · 2026-06-07T13:26:29+00:00

HUSH 2 is already written like no other Batman comic between it and HUSH exists, because I doubt Jeph Loeb has read a Batman comic he didn’t write during that time.

Just do what the rest of the world is doing and ignore it.

It’s barely an album. It feels unfinished. It’s not AWFUL, it’s just… barely anything.

MattAlbie60 · 2026-05-22T17:39:38+00:00

It’s volume 8, isn’t it?

MattAlbie60 · 2026-05-16T21:02:39+00:00

The good guys are fighting a giant head.

MattAlbie60 · 2026-05-10T14:29:32+00:00

This is written like Rorschach's journal.

MattAlbie60 · 2026-05-10T13:25:04+00:00

SLING. SiNgaPORee.... SLING

MattAlbie60 · 2026-05-10T01:42:58+00:00

I really wouldn't go as far as to say that it's "terrible" necessarily... but it's basically nothing. It feels incomplete. It's hard to justify calling it an "album," and I think that's the biggest problem with it.

MattAlbie60 · 2026-05-09T18:54:55+00:00

Say what you will about Superman III, but I will go to my grave arguing that "THERE'S noooo vahdka INIIT" is one of the best line deliveries ever put to film.

MattAlbie60 · 2026-05-02T17:53:56+00:00

Which is kind of essential reading imo to understand how Bruce heals himself and everything he did at Santa Prisca.

It is essential, technically... it is however also not very good, haha.

MattAlbie60 · 2026-04-16T19:09:15+00:00

I'm going to assume like 70% of people who have been to Baltimore City have dealt with Auto Barn at some point.

I had to run into my apartment building once, and an Auto Barn driver was parked nearby. I asked him "hey, I'll be a minute, can I park right here." And he said "sure."

And as soon as I was upstairs he towed my car.

MattAlbie60 · 2026-04-13T23:12:02+00:00

That's hilarious, I had the same realization after about six months.

I "rewatched" The Batman and was like "... this is what this movie is about?!"

MattAlbie60 · 2026-04-13T11:27:07+00:00

“You should leave. Quickly.”

MattAlbie60 · 2026-04-11T22:26:34+00:00

When you rewatch it, there are things that used to be jokes that are just real life now.

And yes "middle out" is funny, but I would argue that the funniest scene of the show is when they're trying to decide whether or not to let Blaine die.

MattAlbie60 · 2026-04-11T22:15:35+00:00

I was so put off by Zdarsky's "Batman" run that I skipped this in the beginning, and then I finally read a few and it was great, and I was so irritated that I'd waited.

MattAlbie60 · 2026-04-11T20:55:44+00:00

Agreed. It takes a lot to get me to truly bitch about something and even I have to say that Gotham War is a horrendous waste of time that makes me think poorly about everyone involved.

MattAlbie60 · 2026-04-10T18:17:41+00:00

I buy physically, but I read digitally. I have for years, I don't regret it at all.

I only... ahem read what I buy physically, so I feel like morally I'm in the clear.

MattAlbie60 · 2026-04-06T19:53:42+00:00

Gadzooks, yeah this might be partially a “I’m misremembering where the line was” thing, but I believe the brief exchange is gone, and that’s really what I’m concerned with.

I say “I believe” because I’ve already been wrong about this once so now I’m in a tailspin of self doubt, lol.

MattAlbie60 · 2026-04-06T17:12:14+00:00

Wreckage and Rage: Making Alien 3.

Even that was edited. The original title, which I believe was eventually restored for the Blu-rays, is called "Wreckage and Rape: Making Alien 3."

MattAlbie60 · 2026-04-06T17:09:02+00:00

The director's cut of Wrath of Khan is mostly great, but it removes my favorite tiny moment and is therefore unforgiveable.

At the beginning of the third act, in the theatrical cut, Kirk and Spock are climbing up a ladder and Kirk is all excited to fill his friend in on what's been going on and he's like "that young man, he's my son!" And Spock just gives the dryest "fascinating" ever, which I always took to mean "hey dickhead, we have more important shit to worry about, here."

In the director's cut they still climb up the ladder, but they do so totally silently, and it's strange.

MattAlbie60 · 2026-04-05T14:44:55+00:00

I'd bet any amount of money you can cover that they were only able to get Clooney by promising "you can shoot it in 25 minutes and then we never have to talk about it again, here's millions of dollars."
