The internet is truly amazing. Back in February I wrote a post about Slush Puppies and sense memory. In the post I talked about how much I enjoyed drinking lemon-lime Slush Puppies and reading Marvel Saga comics at my mom’s office when I was 13 years old. Well, thanks to the internet I’m reliving my […]

The upcoming release of the Apple iPad on April 3 has generated a lot of debate amongst geeks and non-geeks. I’ve found myself in conversations with both groups recently where the same questions have come up. “Who is the target market?” “Why would I want one?” “Why is it such a big deal?” Well, I’ll […]

Don’t ask any questions, just watch the video below. In fact, you don’t even need to watch the video, just listen because the music is the important part. Once you start playing, you’re going to think, “I know this song. I don’t need to listen to it.” Yes, you do need to listen to it. […]

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 […]

They were: Bucky Barnes, Flash (Barry Allen), Robin (Jason Todd), and Captain Marvel […]
