I'm Dan Hatch, my wife and I love to collect but we also enjoy selling and trading comics to feed our passion. My goal is to maximize the joy of collecting. Feel free to reach out on Twitter @hatchydan

I want to thank everyone that read my DC war comic posts. I received a number of comments asking for a review of Marvel war comics as well. So let’s take a look! We all know Nick Fury as the eye-patch sporting Director of S.H.I.E.L.D....
He’s an extraordinary fool! I’ve been planning to write about Plastic Man for some time now, and GoCollect’s April Fool’s takeover seemed like the perfect opportunity. Let’s take a look at this high-powered but underrated DC hero. Jack Cole created Plastic Man back in 1941’s, Police...

My primary exposure to comics in the bronze age (when I was a kid) was to DC’s impressive lineup of war books. Batman? Kids’ stuff. JLA? Puh-lease. Give me Rock and the combat happy Joes of Easy Company. Are DC war books worthy of...
If you are anything like me, this over-heated comic market is both exciting and discouraging. I am stoked to get my Darth Vader #3 (4th printing) back from CGC. I am bummed that I won’t be able to purchase a collectible...
