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 →

The Powerpuff Girls grown up

Posted on December 7, 2017 by Steve

Someone at WizWorld had this T-shirt. I liked it even if it’s a bit disturbing. My favorite superhero sisters look more back-up dancers but I have a feeling if they did become adults, the ladies would find a way to … 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 →

Krysten Ritter

Posted on November 30, 2017 by Steve

Currently Krysten is best known as Jessica Jones on Netflix (a show I need to restart) but for me she was Jesse’s ill-fated girlfriend Jane on Breaking Bad plus I remember her in Big Eyes. Krysten was stopping through Austin to promote … Continue reading →

Thor: Ragnorak: Worth Seeing

Posted on November 29, 2017 by Steve

I know this movie came out a couple weeks ago and 90 percent of my review was written but I had derailed by life. If you haven’t seen this, check it out. If you have, comment on where you agree … 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.

Spider-Man Homecoming: Worth Seeing

Posted on July 12, 2017 by Steve

Third time is a charm! Well, I did like the Sam Raimi trilogy, even when Peter Parker went all Emo, allegedly. I thought the shift in his behavior thanks to the symbiote was effective. Anyway, right off his brief appearance … Continue reading →

RIP Adam West

Posted on June 11, 2017 by Steve

Pretty sad news over this weekend regarding the man who was the first Batman I knew as a little kid. By then Batman was being shown through syndication for afternoon TV. It was so inspirational that my brother and friends often … Continue reading →

Wonder Woman: Must See

Posted on June 8, 2017 by Steve

It’s about time they got DC’s third longest-running character on the big screen. I readily admit, doing Wonder Woman well has always been a challenge. Unlike Batman and Superman, this character has undergone several major reboots in her comic book. Originally, Diana shows … Continue reading →

Let’s hear it for Wonder Woman

Posted on June 1, 2017 by Steve

Technically, Diana’s 75th birthday was last year because her comic book debut was 1941 but let’s just say it took a while for comics to get distributed plus DC is doing all the cool stuff this June. She’s also a … Continue reading →

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 Must See

Posted on May 13, 2017 by Steve

The superhero team from 2014 I thought wouldn’t succeed, due to their obscurity, is back. This time the focus is on Starlord/Peter’s father. This isn’t a spoiler because you see it in the commercials/trailers. All the humorous infighting is there, Drax … Continue reading →

DC meets Hanna-Barbera

Posted on May 1, 2017 by Steve

We’re about a year in with the four Hanna-Barbera comics being published by DC and personally I think three of them will survive another year. Meanwhile, DC decided to take a chance on having the cartoons encounter characters from the … Continue reading →

Logan: Worth Seeing

Posted on April 16, 2017 by Steve

The finale of the Wolverine trilogy and Hugh Jackman’s last performance as the most-popular X-Man; same goes for Patrick Stewart playing Professor X. It’s also their best portrayals but I readily admit I’ve never seen the previous two films so I guess … Continue reading →

One Punch Man

Posted on April 4, 2017 by Steve

Short version, One Punch Man is Japan’s version of The Tick mocking the Superhero conventions they have. Long version, Punch is like The Tick but it mocks all the Japanese anime tropes featuring cyborgs, monsters (or kaiju), ninjas, superhero organizations (in Punch it acts more … Continue reading →

Green Arrow Chucks!

Posted on March 13, 2017 by Steve

It’s not quite the look or version of Green Arrow I like, aka the Neal Adams style, but I highly down the Robin Hood of Seattle/Starling City will get his likeness on shoes again for I scored these on clearance. … Continue reading →
