It has been over a year since I posted an article to this site and a lot has changed in the world of comics since then. One of the biggest changes that has hit very recently is the reboot relaunch of every single DC Comics title and the launch of several new ones. DC made Continue Reading »
After two years of waiting for a decent story line, Supergirl has failed me for the final time. Two years ago I started reading Supergirl.

Apparently his new mug is so rugged and manly, Johnny Storm’s girlfriend can’t keep her hands… or lips, off him! Johnny’s reaction is classic… bursting in Continue Reading »
This has got to be one of the greatest videos I’ve seen in a while. On Friday, a Batman impersonator was involved in a tiff with some picketers: they wouldn’t let him use their porta-potty. Batman ripped off his cape and threw it to the ground while yelling at the picketers. Batman even had a Continue Reading »
