Black Science: The Beginner’s Guide To Entropy by Rick Remender and Matteo Scalera – A Book Review
This beautiful hardcover collects issues 1-16 of the Black Science comic book series. You may remember I reviewed a collected edition of Black Science encompassing issues 1-6 back in 2014. At the time, I loved the art, I loved the concept, I loved the colors, I just didn’t love the characters – I never felt…

The Importance Of Appearing Positive When Returning To the Classroom At Summer’s End
Teaching is a tough job. We are part manager, part philosopher, part parent, part mentor, part babysitter, part drill-sergeant, part psychologist, oh, and I think we actually educate somewhere amidst all that.

Ghostbusters (2016) – A Movie Review
If you have a chance to make it to the theater to see this, I recommend you do. I loved the original Ghostbusters. I still remember sitting in the theater as a little kid, being a little more afraid than I expected, and laughing at those jokes I actually understood. (As an adult, I realize…
