No Spoilers. So I’ve been a bit out of touch, and if you’ve stuck with me on some of the different mindshare channels out there you know why, and this one-shot took me by surprise. I am a sucker for legacy heroes, All-Star Comics from the 70’s and the All-Star Squadron. Getting into those heroes […]
The Man of Tomorrow
While I wasn’t keen on the design style of this animated film, I knew I was going to watch it either way. I had to preface this mini review with that statement in order to admit how very mistaken I was. I LOVE this type of animation… I just had to give it a chance […]
Bruce Timm: Complex Simplicity
If you are a fan of Batman the Animated series, or the Justice League Cartoon, then there is a 99.99% chance that you are a huge a Bruce Timm fan. His love of Jack Kirby is unparalleled in his own style with his use of hyper stylistic movement that almost leaps off of the page. […]
Side-Notes: Ranking Robins
Check out this deep-dive into the many faces of Robin, Batman’s lil’ chum. There is one of my favorite Robin’s that wasn’t listed, Bruce Wayne’s “proto-Robin” from Superman Batman Generations v1 issue #4. The year was 1939, and Bruce’s first outing was as Robin? I love Else-Worlds. As kid I had no love of kid […]
That Time DC and Marvel Joined Forces
In 1996, something magical happened that comic book nerds never thought possible: The big two, DC Comics and Marvel Comics, combined their deep catalog of characters . Amalgam was a unique one-time shot, one that probably we’ll never see the likes of again… thanks to lawyers. I remember when this all happened. I was […]
The Rise and Fall of Saturday Morning Cartoons
Back in my childhood I couldn’t fathom a time where there would be no Saturday Morning Cartoons on TV. Heck, I would have never even foreseen the fact that I don’t even watch broadcast TV any longer. When I was 5 or 6 I can recall a very vivid dream I had of watching cartoons […]
Comics Released the Month of my Birth in 1970 (Revised)
I was curious about what titles were released during the month of my birth in 1970. There are no iconic covers in this curated selection but it’s really fun to see what was on the spinner-racks in my first month on this planet. These are just from the big two, and they focus on the […]
Catching up with the Coming Crisis
When Arrow first aired, I was there. For every episode, I was there. After the fourth or fifth season we had an on-again-off-again relationship. The plots were hampered by more drama than was necessary, but I guess that is the nature of storytelling now. Instead of ranting about it I chose to just become […]
My Vintage Shopping Day Finds for Under $20
Today was somewhat of a free day for me. I took it off for one reason, but something else came up. All of that aside Mrs. Multiverse and I went out for Sushi then visited a few local antique malls. Here is my haul, all for under $20 (US). Mystery Figure First […]
A New Superman? Why not? Stay Open to the Options.
So today, the internet broke with the “news”, more like speculation, that Henry Cavill was out as Superman. After the shit storm, names were bandied about. Most notably, to me, was Michael B. Jordan. This choice intrigued me. As a matter of fact, Jordan could bring something new to the character, but this isn’t […]
