SDCC 2013: Bendis and Bagley return to the Ultimate Universe

Posted: July 20, 2013 at 11:49 am   /   Comic Books, Featured, Local

You would think that after a massive flood and a civil war that broke the United States in half, the Ultimate Marvel universe would get a break.  That’s not the case.  What more could the creators throw at these characters?  How about Galactus (and we ain’t talking about the weird Ultimate “Cloud” version we saw […]

‘Man of Steel’ Review From a Superman and Comic Book Fan

Posted: June 14, 2013 at 8:05 am   /   Comic Books, Film, Local, Movie Reviews

I have been waiting for DC Comics and Warner Brother’s kick off to their own cinematic universe and that day is finally here.  Finally, Superman is back in Man of Steel from director Zack Snyder.  The film takes a completely different approach to the superhero film.  The movie focuses more on the “man” rather than the “super”.  It’s […]

The fourth trailer for DC and Warner Brothers, Man of Steel, not only gives us a better look at the scope of the movie. It also gives us an better look at General Zod (played by Michael Shannon) and his army.  This is definitely the “action” trailer compared to the “drama” trailer we saw a month […]

C2E2 – A Weekend Review of Chicago Comic and Entertainment Expo 2013

Posted: May 6, 2013 at 1:26 pm   /   Comic Books, Local

I am sitting on a train heading home from Chicago, and I thought I would take the opportunity to give you my thoughts and news coming out of C2E2 2013.  What a great convention.
