Hi there everyone, and welcome back for yet another installment of Bat Signal, my never-ending mission to read every issue of Detective Comics that’s ever been published, in random order, and with basically no context. And, it looks like we’re getting yet another comic that’s cover features a melodramatic vignette of Batman and Robin breaking up,…

Well folks, we’ve made it through yet another season of the Simpsons. Season 31 certainly had its ups and downs, primarily downs, but we’ve crossed another one off the list. And yet, after a recent string of truly bad episodes, I was pretty eager to wrap this season up. Last week’s episode had…

Hello everyone, and welcome back to yet another installment of Bat Signal, my never-ending mission to read every issue of Detective Comics ever published, in random order, and with essentially no context. And we’re getting to talk about a very interesting issue of comics today. It’s from the era right after the epic “No Man’s Land”…

Well, here we are again. Last week I had the gift of talking about one of my least favorite episodes of the Simpsons I’ve ever seen. And, against all logic, that was only the first half of a two-party story, so I also got to dread revisiting the second half of the story…
