Shazam! (aka Captain Marvel): Worth Seeing

Posted on May 10, 2019 by Steve

Finally another notch in the win column for DC. It accompanies Wonder Woman and not the dreadful Justice League, Batman v. Superman, Man of Steel or the by-the-numbers Aquaman. A less-serious adaptation of their Captain Marvel (known as Shazam by stupid people … Continue reading →

Aquaman: Worth Seeing*

Posted on January 8, 2019 by Steve

I initiate Aquaman with an asterisk because it’s good but it just isn’t terribly original while succeeding in making one of DC’s least interesting superheroes watchable, today, in a few years I doubt it. Sure, the character started becoming more appealing when … Continue reading →

RIP Norm Breyfogle

Posted on November 3, 2018 by Steve

Norm passed away a couple months ago but he’s worth mentioning because his Batman comics were a big part of my life when I was a collector. His style was very loose with the cape flowing when Batman was jumping … Continue reading →

Wonder Woman doesn’t take crap…

Posted on August 26, 2018 by Steve

…or more appropriately, some creep trying to grab her just because he’s allegedly good at making deals with Themyscira. I think the Amazons would probably go back into hiding since the West is losing its collective mind given the US … Continue reading →

Teen Titans Go! To the Movies: Streaming

Posted on August 25, 2018 by Steve

Movie number one for my birthday double feature had to be this on its opening weekend. I readily admit the humorous version is growing on me via Hulu. I remain a fan of the serious version first and will always … Continue reading →

Tony Todd

Posted on August 16, 2018 by Steve

Next up from my fun time at GACC, meeting actor Tony Todd! Tony is a staple in numerous Sci-Fi TV shows (Stargate, Babylon 5, The Flash) but he’s probably best known to the general public as titular character in the Candyman … Continue reading →

RIP Steve Ditko

Posted on July 8, 2018 by Steve

Steve Ditko is another famous artist who helped make Marvel Comics a big deal, namely through his co-creation/drawing of Spider-Man. If I recall correctly (and I hope my friend who actually draws comics can chime in), Stan Lee chose Ditko … Continue reading →

Superman: Red Son

Posted on May 29, 2018 by Steve

Part one of three showing Marx’s influence as recognition of his 200th birthday, I’ll start with the Elseworld (DC’s version of Marvel’s What If? comics) story pondering the question; What would the world be like if Superman were raised in the … Continue reading →

RIP Margot Kidder

Posted on May 14, 2018 by Steve

Margot was the Lois Lane for my generation via Superman (the best superhero movie ever made and I’m not a diehard fan of the character) and Superman II. I personally can’t recall her doing much else I’ve seen because her infamous mental breakdown … Continue reading →

Wonder Woman crossovers/team-ups

Posted on December 29, 2017 by Steve

It has been a great year for Wonder Woman! Beyond her killer film, DC Comics featured the princess in three team-ups with complimentary heroes. Thankfully, Zak Snyder couldn’t screw them up. First is the a team-up we could only have … Continue reading →

Green Arrow! On a shirt

Posted on December 11, 2017 by Steve

My second T-Shirt acquisition from WizWorld. Before he was a poor-man’s Batman via Arrow on the CW, Green Arrow was Batman, Green Lantern and Hawkman’s Liberal foil. I wish DC Comics would bring back the Errol Flynn-influenced look Neal Adams gave … Continue reading →

Justice League:…just boring and unnecessary

Posted on December 3, 2017 by Steve

When it comes to the big two superhero comic book companies, I have leaned toward DC since college. Hard to believe there was a time when DC’s movies were better too (Richard Donner’s 1978 Superman remains one of the best). Now … Continue reading →

Another clever mash-up shirt with The Superfriends

Posted on October 17, 2017 by Steve

It’s OK, I didn’t get the joke right away either since I have rarely seen the sitcom. I was more thrilled to see Hawkgirl in her Hanna-Barbera incarnation.

Happy Batman…uhhh, Harley Quinn Day

Posted on September 24, 2017 by Steve

Yesterday, DC chose to honor the 25th anniversary of Harley Quinn joining their comic-book universe through the awesome cartoon. Originally brought in to be the Joker’s number-one henchman and at times, love interest, Harley has since crossed over into the … Continue reading →

RIP: Len Wein

Posted on September 10, 2017 by Steve

Man, I need to catch up on all the other things I have in queue to write about, otherwise my site will just be a Nerdy Obituary blog. However, I can’t let the passing of comic book writer, editor and … Continue reading →
