That time when Batman was infected with mind control spores and Swamp Thing saved Batman's life by entering his body and making him epically vomit.

I don't collect a lot of physical issues, but today I came across Justice League America annual #4 (1990) for only $1.95 and had to pick it up!

This is the extremely funny Justice League Antarctica story featuring the Injustice League and G'nort

'Superman & Lois' using the final moments of its final episode to call back to its prior best moment was brilliant and a real tearjerker.

Despite detours into typical CW melodrama, 'Superman & Lois' knew how to deliver on the big emotional scenes between the titular characters.

🦇 I've listened to the entire second season of 'Batman: Unburied' over the last two days and enjoyed it much more than the sluggish first season.

Between 'Riddler: Secrets in the Dark' and now 'Fallen City', this scripted podcast series is now firmly on the right track. 🎧

Hell yeah.

You know what to do, James.

Make Ambush Bug the Deadpool of the DCU.

I haven't read much Green Lantern stuff, other than Emerald Dawn, and have heard many good things about this Geoff Johns run.

Currently reading Grant Morrison's Animal Man for the first time. Enjoyed the first four issues in one sitting.

⚖️ JLA: Liberty and Justice (2003)

Aquaman makes a good point. Why doesn't Wonder Woman have something like a Batcave or Fortress of Solitude as a base of operations and location to store trophies from past victories?

I'm primarily a back-issue reader, but The Joker: Year One has me intrigued enough to pick it up right away!

🦇 I'm only two issues into the epic Batman: No Man's Land storyline and already seeing why people talk so highly about it!

Very interesting to see Gotham City isolated from the outside world, in shambles following the Cataclysm earthquake, and divided into various factions.
