In the Multiverse, there are team ups that would make lawyers of the prime earth plotz. This is one such team up. The Creature, Aquaman and Namor, the Submariner unite to protect the oceans and waterways of their planet, Earth-779. Along with other heroes, such as Triton of the Inhumans, Mera & Namora of Atlantis, […]
Disney’s Atlantis: The Lost Empire is unique as far as animated offerings from the house of the mouse. It has many of the common tropes of other Disney fantasy films but this one lacks the one thing that the others have in spades… musical numbers. The other Princess style movies are all musicals, whereas this […]
So. Namor. Easily one of my favorite Marvel characters. When he’s good, he the most noblest of heroes, yet when he is bad he can be the most vile being in the Marvel Universe. He is one of the better anti-heroes in all of comicdom. He began as a terror to humanity, then became a […]

I won’t get into plot details here apart from it being the normal Flash adventure fair. The animation is OK, and the character designs are […]

There have been a few outright flat misses but I feel that these represent some improvements in my overall style. The key has been, no matter how happy I am with a result, I can erase and do better. While there is still a ton of room for improvement, I am satisfied with where I am heading… and having just turned 50, I am happy with any progress at all.
So from time to time Mrs. Multiverse and I venture back into the Pegasus galaxy with the international team of Stargate Atlantis. This was one of our favorite shows on the Sci-Fi channel, now SyFy. I hesitate in saying that it is our favorite Stargate of the three shows that bear that name, but it […]
The one thing that I found visually stunning about this show from 1977, other than Patrick Duffy or his swimming style, was the spiral symbol that he bore on his trunks. I can recall drawing that symbol over and over when I was 7. This symbol is probably responsible for my affinity for spirals in […]
