Given the tonal shift between the Superman film(and the Supergirl trailer, which seems to be in the same four-color, lighthearted vein as Superman) and the drab, underwhelming Lanterns trailer, i’ll reserve judgment. There’s nothing about the Lanterns show that has me excited to watch it. Not that I...

This arrived yesterday. It’s retiring in June, so I didn’t want to wait. The GWP was a cool little sushi shop. My wish list is down to six sets. The Botanical Garden, X Mansion, and Arkham Asylum are all scheduled to retire by the end of the year, so those are my next purchases. I’ve still got time ...

Bugonia. Goddamnit. I watched Poor Things. I knew Yorgos Lanthimos is a weird fucking director. I KNEW this was gonna be a weird fucking movie. And I watched it anyway. What the fuck. What. The. Fuck. Y’all need to watch this shit, just so you can regret having watched it. The flat earth. The ending...

Hamnet. Another Oscar nom I watched to see what the rumpus was. It was well acted, but a downer of a movie. Don’t see myself ever rewatching it. The trailer spoils that that the movie is about Shakespeare, but the film itself doesn’t even reveal his name until about 3/4ths thru the movie and it’s on...

Here we go with a big pile of ‘B’ I’ve been reading the last month or so. Black Lighting 1. If you’d read any previous BL series, or the Absolute Power event, or the current JL Unlimited series, you’d know what's going on here. But if you hadn’t, this book did you no favors in explaining BL’s origin...

3/4’s books (That’s March 4th, not three quarters) Absolute Superman 17. A giant purple Parasite goo envelops everyone in Metropolis. Hawkman wants to write them off and kill the Parasite, but Kal enters the goo to tell everyone not to be afraid and gets the goo to dissipate. Meanwhile, Brainiac has...

Another Mall show today. Only found 33 books for $36. Some were $2, but they were offset by finding others that were 15 for $10, so I just lumped it all together and paid just slightly over $1 apiece. Here’s what I got. Bombshells 7-9, 13, 14 and Bombshells:United 5-7, 14. Still missing about a doze...

I saw a clip where he knocked on Gina Torres’ door, but not the Jewel one.

I feel like whatever it is, it will feel underwhelming.

2/25 Part II Psylocke:Ninja 2. Retro series set around the time the X-Men went thru the Seige Perilous. Psylocke is sent to the Chaste’s hidden mountain fortress to assassinate Elektra. She fights the Chaste ninjas and battles Elektra when she wakes up. But using her psychic knife attack causes a fe...

After 40 years, Dark Horse has split with founder and publisher Mike Richardson. As is the common tale these days, some outside company, with backing from Saudi who has too much money, bought DH a few years ago. And now since its not turning a profit like they hoped, the ‘resctructuring’ begins. htt...

2/25 Part I. Absolute Wonder Woman 17. Veronica Cale has bound Zatanna’s magic to Diana’s magic to wreak havoc. But Zatanna finds a loophole and uses Diana’s magic to use Zatanna’s magic to speak in reverse and break Cale’s spell on Z. So Cale sends in an even worse wizard to stop them. Amazing Spid...

I often do that while listening to the radio station that plays “oldies” which was exclusively playing 70s and 80s stuff, but has started throwing The Fugees, GooGoo Dolls, Spin Doctors, and Three Doors Down into the mix. Like, what?! THESE are the ‘timeless’ 90s songs you’ve decided to go with? But...

2/18. Part II Knull 2. Knull heads back to the planet where he had his final battle with Atum, the god of light, several eons ago. While they both laid comatose, Gorr the ‘god butcher’ stole his Necrospear. But Atum’s Light Spear remains on the planet. Knull get there, only to find Thanos waiting fo...

Oop. Getting behind on my reading. Here’s the first half of 2/18’s books. Absolute Batman 17. Bruce is trying to maintain contact with all his friends that he’s caused considerable trauma to, but they keep rebuffing him. And now he has to deal with Absolute Poison Ivy. Amazing Spidey 22. Astrobots V...

Scrubs is back. Watched the first two episodes on Hulu. It was very much like slipping on a comfortable well worn article of clothing. I feel like I didn’t laugh out loud at any of the jokes, so much as just smiled contentedly at the consistency between the new series and the old one. Plenty pf new ...
