Rogues Gallery’s annual holiday diorama
Nick went with the obvious choice, Star Wars. One day I’ll get to take a picture without the glass glaring and blurring the coolness of his work.
Neat, odd and great crossover comics
I’m back on a roll about the comic books I’ve been reading lately. I guess I’ll just have to accept that the time, inspiration and energy will happen at irregular intervals. A while back I plugged a weird, obscure crossover … Continue reading

The New Teen Titans at 35
Thirty-five years ago The New Teen Titans was DC’s answer to Marvel’s wildly successful Uncanny X-Men. Surprisingly, it worked despite the two sets of characters being very different: Marvel’s team were outlaw mutants the world despised and DC’s Titans were mostly sidekicks trying to get … Continue reading
RIP Yvonne Craig
The woman who will always be the definition of Batgirl passed away Monday from cancer. Craig was never a major star, usually cast in supporting or guest roles but when she appeared in Star Trek she was memorable as the Orion mental … Continue reading
Our Lego Comic Strip’s debut
To help myself unwind thanks to all the weird stress I’ve been experiencing lately, I have been putting together the cheap Lego sets I’ve scored or the cool ones I earned at Pinballz. Last weekend, I had a brainstorm at the … Continue reading
Ant-Man: Worth Seeing
Let’s see…the Marvelverse streak is now 12 and this makes them the new champs. There were doubts since Ant-Man is more obscure than the B-list Avengers who have joined this Spring. I on the other hand remember, this character was … Continue reading
Avengers: Age of Ultron Must See
The Marvelverse succeeded in victory number 11 as I once asked in Guardians of the Galaxy. Now we also know that the answer to what Disney has bet the farm on for number 12 to take the title away from Pixar…Ant-Man … Continue reading
Free Comic Book Day 2015!
Nerd High Holiday Number Three and the oldest of them has grown enormously this year. There was quite a line in front of Rogues Gallery. I wasn’t there as soon as they opened because I had the opportunity to have … Continue reading
Darth Vader #1; main selling point is its ties to Marvel Star Wars
Marvel’s second Star Wars title focuses on the movie’s original villain and his activities after the Death Star’s destruction. Unlike most comics in which the characters’ story rarely overlaps into another title; e.g. Batman events are rarely mention in say Justice League … Continue reading
Star Trek team-up comics!
If there’s one medium people can have in which two well-loved franchises can team up, it has always been comics! Despite them being on a roll at the movies, TV and video games, comics seem to be lucrative enough while not … Continue reading

Star Wars #1 is alright so far but nothing groundbreaking…
…except Marvel trying harder than they did from 1977-86. I think that despite Disney handing them the title on a silver platter, Marvel’s work will be better thanks to Dark Horse raising the standard after their 21-year run. I bought … Continue reading
Star Wars returns to Marvel Comics
To celebrate, Nick of Rogues Gallery put together an additional diorama from his action-figure collection to show that the characters share our enthusiasm.
Now here are some positive role models!
I bought this design for a young lady who I want to know that women heroes (or heroines) have been kicking ass, saving the world/galaxy/human race and are in charge. Of course I have this shirt too, I grew up … Continue reading

The T-Rex must have some Kryptonite in its teeth
Spotted this amusing shirt during my vacation while waiting for Magic Johnson. Given Superman’s incredible strength, the dinosaur should’ve been clocked a few miles away even after John Byrne gimped this ability in the Eighties.
A better spin on the other tired meme
Spotted in the parking lot at Barton Creek Mall.
