We’ve been off for the weekend, enjoying the fine mountain air, but over the weekend it seems Bono (and not Disney) has swooped in and rescued the Spider-Man musical. Last we checked in with the […]
Everyone can’t seem to get enough of this Guy Richie/Lobo news. I’m just bored with it, to be honest. Regardless, its probably about that time that we finally start reviewing some comics. Mr. Ayers recommended […]
If I were James Lipton I’d have to say, “I have read Strange Tales #1… and it is awesome.” Forgive me for gushing, but no single issue I’ve read lately has brought such pure delight […]

Brian Michael Bendis and Mike Avon Oeming’s Powers comic is without a doubt my favorite comic out today. As far as I’m concerned this is the best work Bendis has ever done. Yes, I’m aware […]
The director of my favorite movie may end up directing the script by Chuck creator Josh Schwartz for the X-Men film reboot, “X-Men: First Class,” according to MTV’s Splash Page. It has been a well-known fact that […]
Marvel’s first motion comic arrived earlier this week, and I just viewed it. Written by Brian Michael Bendis and drawn by Alex Maleev this stripped down if not disconcerting 10 minute static animation was enjoyable, […]

Should I bust out that walker, old man? Nah, I’m just kidding. You’ve only got 40 years, and 356 days on me. Congratulations. Regardless, why this is a special occasion for me is I’ve followed […]
