The Trench Reynolds Report

  • R.I.P. Comic Book Writer Denny O’Neil

    I think I’ve said before that I don’t pay a lot of attention to who’s writing whatever comic book I’m reading at the time. That’s unless the run is so good I make note of who the writer is. One example of that is Mark Waid. Not only for his mid-2010s run on Daredevil but…

  • Question-Watch 2019

    As I’ve said before, my favorite comic book character is The Question. You can read about why he’s my favorite here. Since he’s not the most popular of DC’s cast of characters and hasn’t had his own book in over a decade, it’s always great to see the character being used in almost any capacity.…

Most of his online tributes talk about how Ditko was the co-creator of such legendary comic book icons like Spider-Man and Dr. Strange. Others will talk about how Ditko shunned notoriety and just wanted to draw comics. Even…

  • The Return of The Question?

    ***NO QUESTION ABOUT IT, THERE ARE SPOILERS*** I know. I haven’t been blogging about comics in a while. There’s a couple of reasons for that. The first is that my regular crime readers aren’t that interested in comics. That’s cool. No worries there. The other is that because of my real-world responsibilities I no longer…

  • A Questionable Comic Indeed

    A few months ago I told you about my favorite comic book hero The Question. At the time I lamented the fact that The Question went from a man who swore never to kill to a sociopathic killing machine. This past Saturday I picked up the final issue in the limited six-issue run of the…

  • A Questionable Comic Book

    Back in the late 80s/early 90s, I was a comic book fan. My favorite comic that I would never miss and move heaven and earth to make sure I could get the next issue was The Question. Rather than get into a long boring entry about the history of The Question you can go here…
