Guardians of the Galaxy: Worth Seeing

Posted on August 16, 2014 by Steve

The Marvelverse hits 10 with its winning streak. Will Avengers: Age of Ultron get them to 11? What’s next to get them to 12 in order to take the trophy away from Pixar. Being both Disney “hotels” on the Monopoly board, the Mouse just … Continue reading →

OH! MY! GLOB! Light a match would you! It’s burning my lumps

Posted on August 10, 2014 by Steve

The new, well, the first, design on my comic-book store’s bathroom door. I myself have issued a few edicts from here.

First try!

Posted on August 7, 2014 by Steve

Inspired by the jokes from the How it Should Have Ended episode of the Lego Movie, I had to have this shirt as a tribute to Batman’s 75th birthday and a counterpart to Adam West’s goofy antics.

Justice League 2

Posted on August 2, 2014 by Steve

For my birthday I used the 15% off e-coupon from Converse to get myself two special pairs of Chucks. The super special set is reserved for October and below are a more impressive take on the current Justice League because … Continue reading →

A little gift from Somara when she attended the local comic book convention a couple weeks ago.

Happy Batman Day!

Posted on July 23, 2014 by Steve

DC Comics has deemed today to be the official Batman Day despite his first appearance in Detective Comics #27 having its anniversary several months earlier. I finally realized they probably chose later so it would coincide with the overhyped, over-attended San Diego convention. … Continue reading →

Suck it von Doom!

Posted on July 13, 2014 by Steve

Nick’s Summer diorama featured a super-villain Jeopardy tournament sponsored by the Red Skull, Arnim Zola running the computers and Dr. Victor von Doom as the host. The contestants were Boba Fett, Darkseid and comic-relief villain Dr. Klaw. I think Captain America … Continue reading →

Some non-long underwear books

Posted on July 7, 2014 by Steve

Before Evan Dorkin started writing Space Ghost Coast 2 Coast, Shin Chan and Yo Gabba Gabba! There was Milk & Cheese, Dork! and these losers…The Eltingville Club which ridiculed the dark side of fandom when it wasn’t publicly acceptable, nor profitable. You know, the late … Continue reading →

Commander Arcturus Rann by Michael Golden

Posted on July 3, 2014 by Steve

A long-awaited delivery show up in the mail this morning, my personally commissioned piece from Michael Golden! I met him last year at Austin’s WizWorld. Most people know him more for Marvel’s GI Joe comic and as the co-creator of X-Man Rogue. … Continue reading →

Joker 3 in honor of Batman’s 75th

Posted on June 14, 2014 by Steve

This pair was on clearance at Journeys. My guess is they’re clearing space for the next round of DC characters, JLA mainstays again. These are my favorite Jokers because they seem to follow the Marshall Rogers style. I also love the … Continue reading →

May the Fourth be with You via comics

Posted on May 4, 2014 by Steve

With all the news of JJ Abrams finally shooting Episode VII: A New Hip (thanks Stephen Colbert!), Disney could draw away the sadder attention they don’t want fans to know. Dark Horse’s license to publish Star Wars-based titles ends this year. Marvel which … Continue reading →

RIP Bob Hoskins and Al Feldstein

Posted on May 1, 2014 by Steve

A sad double whammy to lose a couple key figures in humor but the former had his run in drama with respected films like The Crying Game, Mona Lisa, Zulu Dawn and The Cotton Club. So first up is Bob Hoskins. I had read … Continue reading →

Holy fire hazard! Batman is now 75

Posted on March 30, 2014 by Steve

The Caped Crusader, the Dark Knight, the greatest fictional detective since Sherlock Holmes…made his debut on this day in Detective Comics #27. If four terrible movies made by Tim Burton and Joel Schumacher couldn’t kill him, I think my favorite non-powered … Continue reading →

RIP Oderus Ungerus & Lorenzo Semple Jr.

Posted on March 29, 2014 by Steve

Sad week regarding a couple odd creators. First was the news of GWAR’s lead singer being found dead earlier. Haven’t heard any follow up about the foul play suspicion. Oderus nee Dave Brockie gave me many years of laughter and … Continue reading →

Mars Attacks Judge Dredd

Posted on March 11, 2014 by Steve

Yeesh! I haven’t written a decent story covering any actual comic books in almost two years. Well I’m trying to get back on track with one of the oddest crossover mini-series to hit the shelves since Predator v. Magnus Robot Fighter. … Continue reading →
