The Flash: Rogues Revolution (Volume 2) by Francis Manapul and Brian Buccellato – A Book Review
I love the Flash. I’ve loved the Flash since childhood. I’ve said this before, but I’ll say it again: I especially loved Mark Waid and Geoff Johns’ runs on the Flash.

In Defense of The Lone Ranger – A Movie Review
I watched The Lone Ranger the other night on DVD. I didn’t start it until about 9:30, and I fully expected to watch about an hour before turning in for the night and finishing it later. This broke my heart, because I adored The Lone Ranger as a child. But, it seemed every critic in…
