I started out thinking I would just do a review for every book in this series. The problem was that as I went along, that prospect seemed to make less and less sense. This series really is just... (Continue reading)

I picked up the book while in the mines yesterday and looked it over. It looks like this in case you’re interested. My initial response, I believe, would be the standard one from any right thinking person: complete scorn. ... (Continue reading)
Review: Batman and Robin

I am a fan of Grant Morrison’s work. I thought his run on X-Men a few years back was exceptional. In essence, he took a book that was becoming somewhat derivative of itself and turned everything on its head, he... (Continue reading)

Hey there faithful Normalinauts. Remember when I said I’d have another interview…it was like a year ago…well, that one fell through. It only took me this long to get another one set up, recorded, and ready for posting.... (Continue reading)
