Marvel has been teasing a new comic book series called ‘Secret Avengers‘, releasing posters with silhouette’s of characters against a white backdrop. Their latest one is a bit of a shocker if I do say so myself: (Click for a larger version) ~P 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...
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...
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...

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...
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...
