Danger Club #1 just came out from Image last week, and I have to say that even though the book was recommended to me, I purchased it with a little trepidation. Here was yet another sort of reality take on the super hero world AND it was all about children being super heroes to boot. [...]
Hi there kind readers. Let me start today’s post out with a few questions. What do you expect to find on TV? Television programs! And commercials, of course. Good. Good. Now, what do you expect to find on the radio? OK, this one is tougher. I will accept either songs (music) or talk shows. And, [...]
Happy New Year, Everyone. I know. I know. I haven’t written an entry in a while. My excuse? Lyme Disease! And to think, one of my all-time favorite animated characters is (was) the Tick. I’m a bit rusty at this, so I’m gonna start out slowly. Well…I’ve been reading my comics like a good little [...]
The latest Hulk book, The Incredible Hulk, has what I think is beautiful artwork by the well-known Marc Silvestri. His work in this one has echoes of old Bernie Wrightson when he used to mimic wood block printing in his illustrations for the classic Frankenstein story. Helping Marc more than I ever knew an [...]
Hi Kiddies, Today, I’m not gonna talk about comic books. Instead, I wanna tell you about a pretty good little movie called Real Steel. And I’m not even going to spoil it, just in case you haven’t seen it yet. Now, it’s not the greatest movie that was ever made. Not even close. But, it’s [...]
Hi There, Fellow Readers! Well, I’m still wading through all the new DC titles. I’ve dropped a few already, but am continuing to read many of them as well. One thing that has stuck out in my head is that the writers are at least TRYING to make things a bit more “real.” I mean, [...]
…well, then write a blog entry, I suppose. Quite frankly, I’m tired of reading new first issues. I long for the days of reading a good old issue twelve. Ahhhhh. But rather than make this a long entry about everything that is either boring me or annoying me, I’m just gonna give ya a few [...]
Yes, dear readers, I bought a ton of new #1s from the continual fire hose of D.C.’s, The New 52! IN GENERAL, the reads were OK. There is a propensity across most of these renewed titles to be more visceral and “edgy,” with more graphic violence, more (attempted) sharp language, and more attitude. Definitely, it [...]
Hi Everyone, So, here’s my problem. I wanted to write about all the new and exciting books coming out from DC in their New 52, but to be honest I’ve been having a hard time getting excited about too many of them. Admittedly, I haven’t picked up ALL of the new number 1s to come [...]
Let me be the first to admit that I am woefully informed about what’s going on at DC comics regarding the restarting of their entire universe. My basic understanding is that as a result of the Flashpoint story arc, everything is going to be re-done and re-imagined. The first of the new books came out [...]
