Superwoman Issue #1 – A (Comic) Book Review
I’ve been anxiously awaiting Superwoman #1 because of all the Rebirth titles, this one seemed the most creatively ambitious. If you’re unfamiliar with the premise, Lois Lane now has the powers of Superman. How did this happen? When did this happen? Trust me, the book answers all of these questions.

Wonder Woman: Earth One by Grant Morrison – A Book Review
Grant Morrison is a luminary in the comic book industry. He has earned every bit of adulation he has acquired over the years. He is incredibly imaginative and fearless.

Blended (subtitled Using Disruptive Innovation To Improve Schools) entered my world when a representative from Edmentum recommended to my staff that we read it before going one-to-one. It’s important I provide some background before reviewing this book. My workplace, where I teach English, is rolling out a new initiative this August in which every single…

Wonder Woman – Leaving the Boys Behind
So you heard me gush about the Justice League trailer yesterday, and then I saw something that appears even better – Wonder Woman. If you haven’t seen the trailer yet, prepare to be impressed … “Power. Grace. Wisdom. Wonder.” Doesn’t the tag line say it all? We’ve waited a long time for a Wonder Woman…

The Hellblazer: Rebirth #1 – A (Comic Book) Review
The Hellblazer: Rebirth #1 is one of my favorite comics so far in the Rebirth initiative because it’s very well written and very well drawn. I’ll admit, though almost 40 years old, I have very limited knowledge when it comes to John Constantine. I think my first encounter with him was the 2005 movie. I…
