Just thought I would share some of the geeky Christmas ornaments that adorn our tree. I love the Spider-Man ornament below.  It’s got great detailing and the webs in each hand are cool! Below is a cute Santa-Spidey! You can find a nice Scooby-Doo Mystery Machine below, complete with rolling wheels, Christmas tree on top, [...]

** SPOILERS FOR FLASH: REBIRTH #5.  Consider yourself warned. ** I’ve been ranting and raving about Barry Allen coming back as the Flash for over a year now.  That’s not why I owe them an apology.  I’m still pissed about that. I owe Geoff Johns and Ethan Van Sciver an apology for doubting them in [...]

I’ve appeared on several podcasts in the past few months, but have been horribly negligent about giving them a shout-out here.  These were all podcasts hosted by my good buddy Michael Bailey (of Views from the Longbox and From Crisis to Crisis).  He’s been kind enough to invite me to participate a number of times, [...]

SUNDAY Sunday was a nice and easy day as compared to Saturday.  There weren’t a whole bunch of panels I was anxious to see that day, and ultimately ended up not attending any panels.  Instead I spent a whole bunch of time going through the Dealer Room’s, Exhibitor Room, the Celebrity Walk of Fame, and taking [...]

We are truly living in magical times for old-school comic book fans.  Many of us grump and groan about how things were better “back in our day”.  Well, I’m here to tell you that things are great today even for people like us! While I still keep up with numerous monthly titles, there are dozens [...]

I went to the comic shop on Monday to pick up the past two weeks worth of stuff.  I was pretty shocked to find so many big books waiting for me.  I knew I had ordered them, but for all of these to come in within such a short period of time – Yikes!  When [...]
