Don't Make Me Angry!, Part 7: The Incredible Hulk #200

 A milestone in Marvel history.

Helraiser: The Toll, by Mark Alan Miller

 Time was, I'd have been going nuts at the thought of a new Clive Barker Hellraiser story, but the years have been kind to neither the Hellraiser brand, nor author/creator Clive Barker himself. One of my most anticipated books in the past decade or so was Barker's THE SCARLET GOSPELS, a long-gestating finale to the Hellraiser mythology that was, to put it bluntly, one of the most disappointing books I have ever read. I swore after that debacle that I was done with Barker. And that stands. But I might not be through with Barker via Mark Alan Miller.

Don't Make Me Angry!, Part 1: Marvel Masterworks, Vol. 218: The Incredible Hulk

 Back into the binge-reading trenches, with Marvel's mighty green goliath, The Incredible Hulk!

Crabby Movie Review: Justice League

The worst movie in the history of movies...?

WWE: Absolutely Everything You Need to Know

 This is a nice, if greatly abridged, visual history of WWE (Or, as I will forever know it, "The WWF"), but it's far from, as the title proclaims, EVERYTHING you need to know.

Suicide Squad: The Silver Age Omnibus, Volume 1

 Dinosaurs fighting soldiers during World War II sounds like a veritable passport to excitement, right?

Suicide Squad, Vol. 3: Burning Down the House

 The relentlessly stupid "Rebirth" era Suicide Squad continues.....

Blanky, by Kealan Patrick Burke

 "The gift that keeps on living..."

Mr. Higgins Comes Home

 Another instant classic from Mike Mignola.

Girl Logic (The Genius and the Absurdity), by Iliza Shlesinger

 A fun, if instantly forgettable, read.....

Dark Knight III: The Master Race

 Was the world crying out for another visit to Frank Miller's DARK KNIGHT continuity...?

Dark Screams, Volume Eight

 The DARK SCREAMS series reaches an all-time high with Volume Eight.

Second Nature: The Legacy of Ric Flair and the Rise of Charlotte, by Ric Flair, Charlotte, and Brian Shields

 WOOOOOOOO!!!

Batman, Vol. 3: I Am Bane

 Jesus, look at the teeth on the horrific David Finch cover! I'm not going to miss his art one bit.

Batman/The Flash: The Button Deluxe Edition

 The Mystery behind DC's REBIRTH continues....

Paperbacks From Hell: The Twisted History of '70s and '80s Horror Fiction, by Grady Hendrix

 Probably my most-anticipated book of the year.

Crabby Movie Review: War For The Planet of The Apes

Letdown on The Planet of The Apes.

Crabby Movie Review: Spider-Man: Homecoming

 Delightful.

Final Girls, by Riley Sager

 A decent thriller, but don't get sucked in by the hype.....

Crabby Movie Review: The Mummy

 Universal kicks off (Again!) their "Dark Universe"....

Suicide Squad, Vol. 2: Going Sane

 Still profoundly stupid, still terribly written....yet vaguely entertaining enough to keep me coming back.

Batman, Vol. 2: I Am Suicide

Batman hits the road, with a "Suicide Squad" all his own....

Batman: Night of The Monster Men

Awful.

The Force is strong with this one....

 Getting in some quick reading on Mother's Day, and I stumble upon this in STAR WARS: OBSESSION #4. The joys of having a 15-year backlog of comics.....

Like Unto a Thing of Iron, Part Four: Essential Power Man and Iron Fist, Vol. 1

 Sweet Christmas!! A book from my childhood that actually holds up!

From the unreprintable past of Marvel, comes.......ROM, Spaceknight!!!

Dark Screams, Volume Six

 The DARK SCREAMS anthology series is back with a new volume, headlined by a rare Stephen King short, and anchored by a staggeringly good Novella by Tim Curran, who gets top billing on the cover.

Like Unto a Thing of Iron, Part One: Essential Iron Fist, Vol. 1

 Another binge-read?? So soon???

Clive Barker's Next Testament, by Mark Alan Miller

 Clive Barker....Man of God....?

Suicide Squad, Vol. 1: The Black Vault

 There's a phrase that I have been accused of overusing, but one that I enjoy nevertheless: Profoundly stupid. SUICIDE SQUAD, VOL. 1: THE BLACK VAULT is exactly what I'm talking about when I use that phrase....a book, TV show, or movie that goes beyond stupidity, but runs with that stupidity until it is writ large, until the stupidity becomes a thing unto itself, the entity's prime reason for being. The book/TV show/movie almost becomes a stupidity-delivery engine, perpetuating itself with its own dopiness and preposterousness.

Southern Bastards, Volume 3: Homecoming

 Jason Aaron's southern crime epic is back for a third bone-breaking volume....is it worth the wait?

 As we near the end of the "Crabs, Assemble!" Avengers binge-read, we take a short detour under da sea....Join me, won't you?

Michael Jackson: Rewind- The Life & Legacy of Pop Music's King, by Daryl Easlea

Regardless of how you may feel about the man, Michael Jackson left a tremendous musical legacy, and he lived a strange, fascinating life. Daryl Easlea's gorgeous coffee-table book MICHAEL JACKSON: REWIND- THE LIFE & LEGACY OF POP MUSIC'S KING offers up a beautifully illustrated overview of that life, but the book is chained to a ridiculously limiting gimmick that makes it a flawed, frustrating read.

Crabby Movie Review: Logan

 Is Hugh Jackman's final outing as Wolverine the greatest thing since sliced bread, as the critics and fans would have you believe...?

Crabs, Assemble!, Part Twenty-Seven: Avengers West Coast: Vision Quest

The downfall of The Scarlet Witch begins here. (And would continue for nearly two decades....)

Crabs, Assemble!, Part Twenty-Six: X-Men: Inferno Crossovers

 "What does this have to do with a massive binge-read of THE AVENGERS...?", you might ask.
I'll tell you....
