Black Orchid by Neil Gaiman and Dave McKean – A Book Review
Originally published in the early Nineties, Black Orchid is an early work of Neil Gaiman. It debuted long before his rise to fame as a novelist, a children’s author, and a luminary within the comic book industry. True to form, I just now read it in the year 2014. Decades later, Black Orchid still impressed…

Godzilla – A Movie Review
I would like to say from the outset that I am thrilled Godzilla is back on the scene. I miss the old movie monster days, and, from what I hear, Godzilla has paved the way for a new crop of films featuring our favorite monsters to arrive. Godzilla started wonderfully. It created a very interesting…

The Truth Is a Cave In the Black Mountains by Neil Gaiman and Eddie Campbell – A Book Review
Written by the renowned Neil Gaiman, this small picture book is unlike anything I’ve ever read.

Forever Evil by Geoff Johns and David Finch – A Book Review
This book is the culmination of years’ worth of storytelling. Truly, it is the result of multiple plots nurtured since The New 52’s dawn. Did it satisfy? Yes. Without spoiling too much, the events of Trinity War led to Forever Evil, which means that the Justice Leagues are incapacitated. Save Batman and Catwoman, they are…

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 – A Movie Review
So I’ll be honest – I never had much interest in the Spider-Man reboot. I liked the original two by Sam Raimi, not so much the third, and I didn’t see much point in starting over with a new set of actors and a new director. When Marc Webb’s The Amazing Spider-Man came out with…

Dr. Drew Sommerville – A Man I Admire
I’d better say this right off the bat – I’ve been friends with Drew Sommerville since the age of three. In fact, I’m proud to say I consider him a best friend. Drew and I are both from a small town, so we literally grew up together. After high school, we even chose to room…
