I wasn’t sure what to expect when I sat down to watch The Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes vol. 1 & 2 on DVD. The Avengers are one of my all-time favorite superhero teams. I have nearly 400 issues of Avengers comics, so I consider myself a reasonably dedicated fan. Iron Man and Iron Man 2 […]

While shopping at Wal-Mart this past weekend, I stumbled across these superhero briefs for men. Yes, these are for adults. They look like overgrown Underoos. While I’m always thrilled to find superhero apparel, these are not something I would wear. This takes scaring away the ladies and reinforcing stereotypes to a whole new level. And […]

Dragon*Con, my home away from home. I believe this was my 10th appearance at this convention and it was definitely one of the better ones! Attended lots of panels, hung out with my friends, met some celebrities, drank far too much, took over 600 photos, and generally had a great time. Sometime in the near […]
