Far From Home Let me see where I want to begin this. My thoughts are on the easiest aspect for me but at the same time the weirdest thing to quibble about. I have been a fan of Marisa Tomei since the movie “My Cousin Vinny.” Yeah, let‘s start with …
Immortal Iron Fist I’ve been reading The Immortal Iron Fist (Marvel Comics, digital release between 2012 and 2013) collection over the past few months. I read it in its five-volume run that covered close to 30 comics. To start off, when I think of Kung Fu epics and a warrior …
Love, Capes, and Suburban Weirdness There are times when I find myself reading some comics that I would never have expected myself to get into. I mean, I grew up on Marvel (DC being mostly cartoons and movies for me). I had the original four issue miniseries for Wolverine when …
The Bloody Doors Off So, to start off, I am at a point where I am doing a bit of change up. If you hadn’t noticed, I didn’t post this on Sunday like I have been doing for a while now. Basically, I have been thinking about it for a …

Marvel 1602 I haven’t been reading much for super hero comics or graphic novels lately. Wait, scratch that, reverse it. It is probably more appropriate to say that I haven’t been reading many of the titles from the big players in super heroes. The more recent titles from Marvel and …
Punch with the Iron Fist Here I am, thinking of how I want to go into this, and I realize I am a bit remiss. See, I didn’t talk about the last in the series (this will change). But I talked about the others. But as I move into this …
Death and Rising Stars It has been a strange week. We already know about the trip and the phone that almost blew up, but that isn’t even the craziest thing to happen recently. I won’t be going into full details about this but I am going to give a bit …
