Wonder Woman: Guts by Brian Azzarello and Cliff Chiang – A Book Review
Guts is the second volume of Wonder Woman’s New 52 iteration. Now, I have to admit, I’ve never particularly been a Wonder Woman fan. I mean, sure, as a young boy, I liked her just as much as the next young boy, but I never read her comics. But, when DC decided to (sort of)…

Justice League Dark: Into The Dark by Peter Milligan and Mikel Janin – A Book Review
Justice League Dark has a fantastic premise. I have to admit, when I heard about this book, I became giddy. I’ve always loved DC’s magical characters, especially those with a bit of an edge.

My Thoughts On Disney Buying Star Wars
When I read earlier today that Disney bought LucasFilm (and all properties therein) my first reaction was utter astonishment. For one, the price is a number that my brain literally cannot conceive. Secondly, never, ever, in a million years did I ever think George Lucas would relinquish the rights to the universe he built from…

Winter Journal by Paul Auster – A Book Review
An eclectic collection of miscellaneous thoughts, Winter Journal is exactly what the title asserts. Always brutally honest, Auster reflects upon his sixty-three years thus far, paying special attention to the many trials and tribulations his body has withstood throughout its lifetime, the myriad places he has called home, those he has loved over the years,…

The Dark Knight Rises – A Movie Review
The next few paragraphs will review The Dark Knight Rises for those who have yet to see it. There will be no spoilers without notification. Christopher Nolan made it blatantly clear that this would be his final Batman movie, and fittingly, created a perfect conclusion to his storyline. More than any other Batman movie ever…
