I went into Verity knowing almost nothing about the book, the story, or where this movie was taking me.And after taking the trip…I think my GPS was right. 😂There were some interesting stops, a whole lot of road in between, and thankfully Josh Hartnett was along for the ride.No spoilers—just my immediate reaction to Verity, why it didn’t quite work for me, and one question for everyone who’s seen it:Did she or didn’t she?If you know, you know.🎙️ The Brad Files: VerityChase what you love.

Every comic in my collection has an end of life.Some end up on the wall. Some stay in the box. And some get traded away so something better can take their place.So it feels strangely appropriate that today’s comic is literally called END OF LIFE.I bought this Vertigo comic because I loved the cover…and then never actually read it.Today, it finally gets One Last Read.Does it earn a place in MY collection, or has End of Life reached the end of its life in my Collection of Chaos?Then it’s time for THE CHASE! I’ve made some serious progress on Batman: Knightfall, including Sword of Azrael, Shadow of the Bat, Detective Comics and an incoming Vengeance of Bane.What about your collection? Do you keep everything—or would you trade books you don’t care about anymore to build the collection you really want?One Last Read.One Final Decision.Chase what you love.Keep the Bat-Signal lit.

My brain is full of nerd shit… and you get to be the toilet paper.Welcome to The Brad Files!Brian and I entered DC's create-a-villain contest with our villain, Dark Web. We didn't win.Well… I finally read the introduction of the winning villain, Rhetoric, in Detective Comics — and let's just say I'm a little butthurt. 😂Then it's New Comic Book Day, which means it's time to figure out what's actually on my pull list… and what I'm inevitably going to buy that ISN'T on my pull list.Gambit. Knightfall. DNX. Amazing Spider-Man. My Worth the Space chases are starting to take over the way I buy comics.Bat-Question: Be honest — when was the last time you walked into your comic shop and ONLY bought what was on your pull list?Chase what you love.Ha-bye-bye!
