Guardians Of the Galaxy: Vol. 2 – A Movie Review
I’ll be honest and admit that when Guardians Of the Galaxy came around back in 2014, I wasn’t all that into it. I didn’t even make it to the theater for a viewing. Truthfully, even when it came out on video, I didn’t think it was all that great. Funny? Sure. Different from any other…

Lando by Charles Soule and Alex Maleev – A Book Review
This is the Lando book you never knew you wanted. Trust me. I like Lando. You like Lando. Everyone likes Lando. The only problem is, most of us don’t have much exposure to Lando beyond the two Star Wars movies he’s in. Well, this book changes all of that. This graphic novel features our favorite…

Mighty Thor: Thunder In Her Veins by Jason Aaron and Russell Dauterman – A Book Review
This new approach to Thor is both refreshing and inspired. As you can see from the cover, Thor is no longer the Thor with whom you’ve grown familiar. Thor is now, well, a woman. A masked woman, in fact. By the time this volume rolls around, it’s already established that the new Thor is actually…

Briggs Land by Brian Wood & Mack Chater – A Book Review
I’ve never been disappointed in a Brian Wood book, so when I ran across Briggs Land: State of Grace (Volume 1), I knew I had to check it out. I’m so glad I did. The premise is perhaps as relevant as ever in that Briggs Land is a self-proclaimed sovereign nation within the United States.…

Four states — Carolina, Louisiana, Alabama, and Mississippi — did not abolish slavery, namely because the Civil War never occurred. The Underground Airlines is much like the…

Maundy Thursday
Today is Maundy Thursday, the day in which Jesus revealed one of the Twelve Disciples would betray him and issued his final command. A few weeks ago, a woman from my church contacted me and asked if I’d like to fill in for the role of Simon the Zealot during their Maundy Thursday play. It’s…

Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them – A Movie Review
After somehow missing it in the theaters, I’m happy to announce I finally got around to watching Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them. First of all, I’d like to say that I’m really glad they are continuing to build the Harry Potter universe. It’s a rich universe ripe for ample storytelling, and I think…

Passengers – A Movie Review
I love the recent resurgence of space movies. To me, it’s a sign that we are regaining a societal urge to explore the stars once again. Could this reflect a renewed dissatisfaction with Earthly events? Perhaps. Passengers did not initially demand my visit to the theater. Honestly, I like Jennifer Lawrence, but she’s not “must-see”…
