How do I start this? Well, me being me – I guess I have to go back to 1985 and Crisis on Infinite Earths, one of the first, massive crossover events from DC Comics. The Flash – Reborn When you’ve been around as long as DC, you have a lot of characters, a lot of history and [...] Make me famous:
             One of my favorite characters in the Batman universe is Dick Grayson. Dick Grayson was the youngest member of a circus highwire act known as ‘The Flying Graysons’. When his family was killed right in front of him, it struck Bruce Wayne right where it hurts because it was like watching his own parents die all [...] Make me famous:
Rumors abound regarding all of the comic books movies coming down the pipe and Superman 2 (or is it 6?) is on the list. But the reboot of Superman didn’t do so well, remember? We had what became dubbed as the ‘creepy stalker Superman’ from actor Bandon Routh who, in my humble opinion, played the part [...] Make me famous:
So. Following reading Green Lantern: Rebirth, I wanted some more. It was nice to visit that universe again and the book itself, though a ‘complete story’ (beginning, middle and end), really did have that ‘jumping off point’ feel to it. They were intentionally setting up what was to come and drawing a line from which [...] Make me famous:

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 [...] Make me famous:
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’ [...] Make me famous:
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’.
