Review: Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths

I’ve been a fan of the DC animated films for quite some time now, so when I heard about their latest, Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths, I couldn’t wait for it to come out – which was yesterday! (Tuesday, Feb 23rd)

My new house has no BestBuy conveniently sitiated (pronounced sitch-ee-ated) nearby (I buy most [...]

Influences Part 4

Comic Books

If you’ve been hanging out here on the blog or on my twitter feed, you know by now that I am a huge comic book geek.  I once had a monthly habit that was the equivalent of a car payment.  Not a nice car.  Not even a good car.  Probably more like an ‘ok’ [...]

Star Trek: The No Win Scenario

Star Trek The No-Win Scenario (Star Crossed)

One of the things I wanted to talk about with the whole Star Trek Comics at DC thing, was the treatment of Kirk in the Academy, and his solution to the Kobayashi Maru as detailed in the three issue story arc called ‘Star Crossed’.

Star Trek in comics

Space.  The Final Frontier.  These are the voyages of the starship, Enterprise.  Its mission; to explore strange, new worlds, to seek out, new life and new civilizations, to boldly go, where no man has gone, before…

This is the last of my Green Lantern posts for a bit.  I’ve told you all about Hal Jordan, John Stewart, Guy Gardner and Alan Scott – have mentioned Kyle Rayner, but not much cuz he was after me for the most part.

But what I want to talk about today is the second reboot of [...]

The Original Green Lantern

Before Hal Jordan or John Stewart, Guy Gardner and Kyle Rayner came along, there was another Green Lantern.  The Original.

Born in the ‘Golden Age of Comics’ (1930’s-1940’s), this Green Lantern was more magical than SciFi.  His name was Alan Scott.

Alan’s story is different.  Created in the late 30’s/early 40’s by Martin Nodell, The Green Lantern’s [...]

The Green Lantern: Guy Gardner

When the Green Lantern of sector 2814 lay dying on the planet Earth, he asked his ring to seek out a worthy successor to pass the ring onto. To his astonishment, the ring found not one, but two worthy beings on the planet. He had to decide between them. [...]

The Green Lantern-John Stewart

The Green Lantern: John Stewart

One day, the Green Lantern for sector 2814 flew to the planet OA, home of the blue skinned, telepathic Guardians, and quit. His name was Hal Jordan. His long time girlfriend, Carol Ferris, had demanded that he choose: the ring, or her. He chose her.

This left a vacuum [...]
