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...

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 was the beginning to what has become the most iconic science fiction television series of all time...

GI Joe: A Real American Hero

G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero In honor of the DVD release of G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, I thought it would be appropriate to talk about the Joes lives in the comics. Specifically, I’m talking about the Marvel series that ran from the early 80’s into the mid 90’s, something like 155...

When it comes to Daredevil – I am not an expert by any means.  I know that most hardcore comic book fans put Daredevil on the kind of pedestal guitar fans reserve for the likes of Eric Clapton – but I never quite got it. The majority of my exposure to DD came in...

Spider-Man: Carnage in comics

As if Venom weren’t bad enough a villain for Spidey, the writers at Marvel decided that there needed to be an even CRAZIER, more SPIDEY HATING VILLAIN who got their powers from an alien symbiote. Let me backtrack for a second – All of Marvel’s heroes and villains were taken to another planet one...

Spider-Man: the trouble with Goblins

Taking a look at some of my Spider-Man Comics today and it struck me that there were a lot of variations on a theme when it comes to the Goblin. The original was, of course, Norman Osborne as The Green Goblin.  I don’t believe this is him in the costume (It’s Harry): Lot’s of...

Clones have never been a good idea-Comic Nostaglia Spider-Man

Gather ’round children, and let old Uncle Morty tell you a story. Once upon a time, there was a meeting of the minds at old Marvel.  “Spider-Man,” they said, “Is stale.  We’ve done it all!  Peter’s married to Mary Jane, his life is going all right for a change.  Sure, he has a Goblin...

Comic Nostaglia: Spider-Man

My favorite comics were Batman and Spider-Man, hands down. I could totally relate to Peter Parker.  He was a nerd; smart, goofy looking, awkward in social situations – what nerd isn’t?!  But he also got to have this cool side, this costume that when he put it on and no one could see his...
