Today’s post is a bit morbid, but something we all have to think about eventually. None of us really want to face it, but the truth of the matter is that the ONLY guarantee in life is that it’s going to end someday. Once you accept that you’re gonna go no matter what, then you […]

I was given this awesomely-retro t-shirt by my brother, Lore, the same weekend the recent Star Trek movie premiered. I’ve been meaning to post it for weeks, but just hadn’t gotten around to it. I love the classic 1982-ness of the shirt. The pre-faded appearance makes it look like it could have actually come from […]

If you’ve been reading about San Diego Comic Con, then you’ve already heard that Marvel Comics has purchased the rights to Marvelman. While Marvel has purchased the rights to Marvelman from the original creator, it’s unlikely they will be able to reprint the 80’s & 90’s material that was published as Miracleman. If you are […]

Just a heads-up, I appeared on a recent podcast of THE UNIQUE GEEK. This time out the crew was reviewing the zombie book World War Z by Max Brooks. On the podcast was Jon (The Unique Geek), Cary, Widge (NeedCoffee.com), Ron, and myself. I’m not normally a fan of zombie stories (unless we’re talking George […]

The new season of Doctor Who starring Matt Smith officially started filming yesterday. The BBC released the first pictures of Matt Smith in costume as the Doctor, along with Karen Gillan playing his companion Amy Pond. Notice Gillan’s shoes in the picture below. It sure looks like she’s wearing David Tennant’s red Converse high-tops. Wonder […]

I picked up Uncanny X-Men: First Class #1 last week. This is a new ongoing series from Marvel set in the early days of the Uncanny X-Men. I guess I’ve got X-Men on the brain. I’ve mentioned it here before, I used to be a major X-junkie. We’re talking MAJOR junkie. I’d read every single […]
