I have a four-year-old daughter. Let’s call her the Precocious Princess for discussion purposes here. As many children do, she idolizes her older brother (he’s 10). She sees him playing with superhero and sci-fi action figures and emulates his behavior. Recognizing that, I’ve been trying to buy her girl-centric superhero toys. If she’s going to […]

I love old comics! I especially love old advertisements. Maybe it’s nostalgia, maybe it’s my marketing background, or maybe I’m just getting old. Regardless, I love seeing old ads for upcoming comics! While reading a particular batch of old DC Comics, I was surprised at how many great titles were launched in 1987. Seriously, it […]

If you watched NBC’s Fringe season finale on Friday, you may have spotted these bizarre DC comics covers. Don’t worry, you didn’t imagine them. They were all reminiscent of famous DC covers, but with some alterations. The Fringe episode dipped into an alternate universe where even the smallest details were somewhat off. Geoff Johns, DC […]

Instead of blogging about comics, this weekend I actually read some! I’ve literally got stacks and stacks of comics I’m behind on reading. All together I flew through 44 comics this weekend. I really enjoyed immersing myself in the comic book world. Here are the titles I read and some quick thoughts on them: Infinite […]

So I’ve been watching the “V” TV series. Boy does it stink. I’ve mentioned it here before, but the original mini-series was really good. “The Final Battle” was okay. And the regular TV series is almost unwatchable. However, as I continue to plod my way through the TV series (why, I really don’t remember anymore), […]
