Assault on our Sensibilities Comic book worlds are tied together through their different universes. At least that is how it used to be. Except when it comes to the big and small screen. Translating all of comic imagery and ideas into live action works seems to be just as difficult …
Return the Joke Again We’ve already been over this, at least in part anyway. And it feels a bit strange to me that we are here again. But it had to be done with good reasons to boot. Or something… I know right… You have no idea what the hell …
Flash to the Past You should probably realize this about me by now or at least suspect it, but I am not a fan of reboots or changes to something solely to make a point. Wait, back up, what the heck am I trying to say here. In a nutshell, …
Heroes Rise I read them out of order. Not that it mattered, at least to me, but without the background it made it a bit … Odd. Sorry, talking about Batman and the “A Death in the Family” Story line. It wasn’t that I read those particular stories out of …
A Difference in Alternate Realities As crazy as this might sound, I am going to go on record now and state without a doubt in my mind, I hated the Jessica Jones series on Netflix. I was disappointed and I had my reasons but I never fully gave voice to …

The Ticking Clock “Flash I love you, but we only have fourteen hours to save the Earth!” One of the most classic lines quoted from a classic ingénue. If you don’t know it… shame on you. But I will give the source anyway. This is a line from the 1980s …
Let’s Dance Put on your red shoes and dance the blues… Yeah, it’s been an emotional day for me. This will be a bit disjointed as I hit a few different thoughts, but after the news this morning the list of things to talk about grew. Granted the first thing …
The Monkey’s Journey American Born Chinese written by Gene Luen Yang and published in 2006 is a huge story. In fact it is such a huge story that the presentation of the story is misleading. Maybe I am getting ahead of myself. Actually it is three stories contained in a …
