Super Plants?
I legitimately never had a clue that there was enough crossover business between comic book fans and fans of gardening to justify the merchandising coup that is DC superhero planters… You learn something new every day. Definitely cool to see Captain Marvel filling out the 4th spot.
Vacation!
What’s the statute of limitations on a character? Like, when is he so ubiquitous that to do your own version of him isn’t parody and isn’t theft, it’s just… homage? A character like Superman is part of the cultural milieu, interpretations and new takes are expected. But what about bit players? What about the characters [...]
They’re Baaaackkkk…
I’ve posted about my love for the Suicide Squad on here before. It’s not a secret. But I only just recently got a chance to read the entirety of John Ostrander’s return to the title in the 8 issue “Raise the Flag” miniseries that came out in late 2007. And you know what? The man [...]
It’s Camping Season.
I’ve lost count how many of my friends have gone on camping trips so far this summer. Most recently it was my friend Rui. This one’s for him. Bring this on your next trip to the woods, Rui. You won’t.
Those Who Forget The Past…
Remember in the 1960s, when DC Comics thought THIS was a good idea? No sexist star spangled bathing suit, no convoluted background… just a modern take on an iconic character.

The Swan and The Croc.
The Lion and the Unicorn. The Fox and the Crow. And then there’s the Swan and the Croc. Curt and Killer, respectively. Always been a fan of Curt Swan and the original gangster style Killer Croc. Both top notch pre-Crisis entities. To me Curt Swan is THE artist for Superman, in the same way Christopher [...]
You Won’t.
You won’t spend the $60 plus shipping to buy both of these: And then spend $25 plus shipping on these… …so you can USE them to color both the coloring books AND the cards that came with them. You won’t.
Superman #75 And My Dad
If you were reading comic books back in the early 90s, you know the hype that surrounded the Death of Superman. It was unmistakable. It was everywhere. You couldn’t turn the tv on without hearing about it. In fact, it was so big, that when the issue dropped, my dad stopped at the LCS and [...]
I Totally Had This.
And it was totally great. Probably the reason I am such a well educated and well spoken person today.
The Beginners Gym Attire.
It’s always important to be properly prepared for the gym. For those of you just starting out, there are three things that you absolutely HAVE to have: 1. A gym bag. Unless you’re an unemployed leech on society like myself, you will most likely be going to the gym straight from work, or possibly before [...]
