RIP Keith Giffen & Gary Graham

Posted on January 23, 2024 by Steve

The first obit I felt like a complete moron about! I missed all the tributes on Twitter for the passing of Keith Giffen last October! He was one of the funniest writers in the Eighties as he revamped Justice League into … Continue reading →

RIP: Arleen Sorkin

Posted on August 28, 2023 by Steve

Sad to see two key voices in Batman’s animated resurgence pass. First, Kevin Conroy, probably one of the three best Batman voices (Adam West and Diedrich Bader). Now we lost the first Harley Quinn. I knew the Joker’s number one … Continue reading →

Black Adam: Don’t even bother

Posted on November 23, 2022 by Steve

Can you smell what the Rock is cooking? If it’s an anti-hero superhero movie for the struggling DC Universe? Then it’s a steaming turd burger covered in cliché sauce and too much exposition! Johnson wants to be the next Ahnold … Continue reading →

RIP Kevin Conroy

Posted on November 13, 2022 by Steve

Sad to hear the person who was the voice of Batman for several decades passed away. Adam West put his mark on the character but Kevin really made Batman synonymous with him since he landed the role for the 1992 afternoon … Continue reading →

RIP Alan Grant

Posted on July 22, 2022 by Steve

Sad to read the news about this comic book writer passing who oddly had the same name as Sam Neill’s character in Jurassic Park. He was part of DC Comics’ influx of UK-based writers and artists who made comics and superheroes … Continue reading →

RIP George Perez

Posted on May 8, 2022 by Steve

I hope the world gives me a break for a while on all these damned obits I’ve been writing as another great in comic books passed Friday. Sadly, George’s passing was a matter of when since he had been diagnosed … Continue reading →

RIP Neal Adams

Posted on May 5, 2022 by Steve

Yet another sad passing I found out later, thanks a lot New York Times! But, better late than never. The legendary comic-book artist Neal Adams died last Saturday at age 80 and for us nerds, he was a big deal. Back … Continue reading →

Welcome to November 2021!

Posted on November 1, 2021 by Steve

Originally I was going to celebrate the fortieth anniversary of Call of Cthulhu debuting as a roleplaying game but it wouldn’t be sincere. I’ve only played the game a few times and I am trying to get more familiar with it because … Continue reading →

So far the Snyder Cut is rather weird

Posted on April 10, 2021 by Steve

Jennifer split for Padre to have a long weekend with her mom, daughter and friend so I decided to use the time to finally watch the long awaited Snyder Cut of the terrible Justice League. Hmm. I wasn’t expecting this cameo … Continue reading →

Wonder Woman 1984: needs more development/editing

Posted on February 27, 2021 by Steve

It’s a good thing AT&T prepared for a beating by going with this sequel via streaming because 84 was another mediocre DC movie. What a pisser, I really liked the first one plus I was looking forward to the next chapter … Continue reading →

RIP Denny O’Neil

Posted on June 12, 2020 by Steve

Another legendary person who helped mold modern comic books passed away peacefully in his sleep. Denny was a vanguard when it came to writing. Unlike many of his contemporaries at DC Comics, he was a journalist before contributing to Green Lantern … Continue reading →

Yesterday, DC announced that it will have all its comic books, novels, etc. distributed by two new companies this Summer. For over 25 years, Diamond Comic Distributors has been the sole solution if you buy your stuff from direct-sales stores … Continue reading →

Joker: Worth Seeing

Posted on October 27, 2019 by Steve

I ran out of true Horror movies to review for this October but given how the last couple years have been a shit show under Orange Foolius, I think this interpretation fits the bill. In short, I liked it immensely … Continue reading →

RIP Ernie Colón

Posted on August 11, 2019 by Steve

Another great guy who worked in Comic Books passed away last week. I never gave his heritage any thought because he went by the Anglo version of Ernesto, ergo, he was an American like Jack “The King” Kirby (Jewish) or … Continue reading →

Welcome to July with a shift in timeliness

Posted on July 1, 2019 by Steve

For the last couple months I have been digging out slowly while sticking mostly to the chronological series of events with the exception of keeping the header art, color scheme and my exercise progression updated. Given the events of last … Continue reading →
