Stargate Universe. When the show first premiered, I wasn’t sure what to make of it. I compared it to previous Stargate series, Battlestar Galactica and Star Trek: Voyager.  Within a couple weeks all that was forgotten and it was rapidly becoming one of my favorite shows on TV. If you’ve never seen the show, the [...]

I should start off by admitting that I love Neal Adams artwork.  This guy is a MASTER!  An absolute master artist.  He helped redefine the look of comics in the 1970s and he can still draw just about anybody under the table.  Okay, with my disclaimer out of the way I can get on with [...]

I’m currently reading the science fiction novel Seeker by Jack McDevitt.  I’m about 100 pages in and really enjoying it.  It won the 2006 Nebula Award for Best Novel.  The story is set approximately 10,000 years in the future and follows Alex Benedict, space archeologist, as he tries to uncover the mystery of a 9,000 [...]

I spend a lot of time reading to my children.  I’ve often said to them, when you read a book the pictures come alive and move in your mind.  Well, for the first time I can read my children a book where the pictures really do move in the book itself! Star Wars A Scanimation [...]

You should be reading the Fantastic Four monthly comic.  Seriously.  It’s surprisingly good.  Let me rephrase that… it’s surprisingly REALLY, REALLY good. I haven’t read the Fantastic Four on a regular basis in years.  I pick up the occasional issue here and there, and I keep up with word on the street about the book.  [...]

Just last week Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment released Iron Man: The Complete Animated Series and the X-Men: Animated Series Volume 5.  These cartoons from the 1990s hold a special place in my heart and I’m thrilled both entire series are now available on DVD. IRON MAN Need more Iron Man action after seeing the [...]

Workman Publishing has just released the amazingly cool DC Comics Super Heroes and Villains Fandex!  What a neat product!  I was skeptical when I first heard about it, but it’s far exceeded my expectations.  This handy field guide makes an excellent reference for both the DC Comics seasoned veteran as well as the comic book [...]

While at Free Comic Book Day at Cosmic Cat, I met the creators of a local comic entitled, Lydia Feeds the Pigeons.  I like supporting local talent and they were very enthusiastic about their work, so I decided to try their comic. I was impressed when they explained they were giving away for free a [...]

Just read Batman: R.I.P. from cover-to-cover.  After 208 pages I’m left feeling … meh.  I know there are lots of Grant Morrison devotees out there screaming at my words right now.  I’m sure they’re frothing at the mouth about things like, “brilliant sub-text”, “metaphysical mind games”, or some such nonsense.  For me it boils down [...]

They’ve finally managed to produce a Kyle Rayner Green Lantern action figure that doesn’t suck.  Check it out. Admittedly, this figure is more muscle-bound than Kyle truly is.  Y’know what?  It doesn’t matter, this figure just looks awesome!  The previous Kyle figures have been very disappointing.  Click here to see a few of the previous [...]
