Book Report: DC Finest – Crisis on Infinite Earths
You guys already know what a big fan I am of DC Finest, the affordable line of books from DC Comics, collecting year-long run in one giant book (average about 400-500 pages per volume). I plan on collecting all these books, if I can find them for a reasonable price. I usually will buy if I see them for $25 or less, but there are some exceptions. I paid full price for DC Finest: Teen Titans - Judas Contract and for the latest release DC Finest: Events - Crisis on Infinite Earths Part One. The book came out on Tuesday (Oct 21, 2025).

Magnetic Fields at Union Chapel, London (October 14th and 15th 2025)
The Magnetic Fields have kept a good thing going by taking their 69 Love Songs tour international. This is, if the internet is to be believed, the 100th to 115th or so performance of 69 Love Songs in its entirety over two nights. I have now seen three of them. Pretty sure that puts me in the top five, or top two even, for number of shows seen by one person. I fancy myself a bit of an expert now. So, sit back and let me describe the show to you as someone who is practically in the band at this point.
Jonathan Richman at First Avenue (October 16, 2025)
Jonathan Richman returned to First Avenue with drummer Tommy Larkins for a phone-free night of unfiltered sincerity.
