My friend Joe G. wound up buying a copy of Green Arrow # 17 with the blank cover that our comic shop accidentally ordered 20 copies of. Joe even only bought this comic because they sold it to him cheap to meet the credit card minimum at the shop. Then he asked if I could …

27. Batman
I’ve recently figured out that I prefer a well-adjusted Batman. I have lost all taste I once had for a broody, sulky sad sack Batman, or the uber-dark paranoid dick Batman. There is no better adjusted or happier Batman than the Adam West Batman.
Ok, PANIC!: New 52
Of all the DC Comics New 52 launches, OMAC was my favorite. So of course it was the first cancelled.

Hell, Blazed
NOTE: I wrote this about the loss of the comic HELLBLAZER and what that book means to me. However, since then, I have gone through a much worse and meaningful loss – the loss of a pet. Max was a fat, quirky stray cat who came to live with my parents about six or seven …
