So DC's Rebirth one shot is here and the table has been set for their company wide relaunch starting next week. Reaction to the one shot has been mostly very good. This event was a year in the making. There was chatter that last year's Convergence was supposed to be the big reset; that didn't … Continue reading Thoughts on DC: Rebirth
Movie Review – Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice
Let me start this off by stating very clearly....THIS IS MY OPINION. If you have a different one, that's perfectly fine. I'm saying that because I have seen way too many 'if you like Dawn of Justice, you're a moron!' takes ever since the reviews started coming in. It takes a whole lot for me … Continue reading Movie Review – Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice
A few thoughts on Dawn of Justice

After doing a few 'Cons, I have a few tidbits of advice: Wear some good, comfortable walking shoes or sneakers. You're going to be doing a lot of walking all … Continue reading My Baltimore Comic Con Weekend
Review – Batman #44
Warning: I'm pretty much spoiling the latest issue of the Batman comic book here. I do recommend getting it and reading it if you haven't already, even if you read this first. Comic books have been tackling social issues for decades, from racism to homophobia to drugs to the plight of the poor. The latest … Continue reading Review – Batman #44
Review – Superman: Doomsday
Superman: Doomsday came out in 2007, and with rumors of Doomsday being in the upcoming Batman v Superman: Down of Justice film I thought it would be a good time to take a look at the movie (ok, not really; my DVR was empty and I needed something to watch the other day). Anyhow, here's … Continue reading Review – Superman: Doomsday
