Daredevil
Once again Netflix proves that they are a better future for TV because Daredevil is an ongoing superhero/vigilante show done well. It’s a strong balance between being ridiculously gritty/hyper-violent (HBO, Showtime) and milquetoast (all the broadcast networks). An average episode is … 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
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

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

Big Hero 6: Worth Seeing
Disney’s first outing with a non-standard Marvel property succeeds so well, you could call this The Incredibles 2. The former master then student has returned to being the master given how lame Pixar’s last couple releases were. With John Lasseter as head … Continue reading
The Aquabats (2014)
The music/concert week continues with show number two! Shortly after I came back from Las Vegas and before ACL Crapfest, my favorite Band who are also superheroes graced Austin with a great show at the Mohawk. Much has changed since … 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.
I’m still not Groot (Beer)!
The other half of a nice gift from those friends. Rocket I had heard of. Groot I had no clue and it appears he precedes the Marvel Universe’s launch in 1961. This does make sense though. Before Stan Lee and … Continue reading
A better spin on the other tired meme
Spotted in the parking lot at Barton Creek Mall.
I am not Groot!
A very nice gift (one of two) from some equally nice friends. I always thought Rocket had his debut in the mid Eighties through a miniseries Marvel did. Turns out he made his first actual appearance in the mid Seventies … Continue reading
Guardians of the Galaxy: Worth Seeing
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
First try!
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
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
