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…

Get To Know Pete Moore
Perhaps you didn’t hear the news, but Pete Moore is now managing the historic Normal Theater in Uptown Normal. I’d like to take a few moments to talk about why this is great for the community. Make no mistake, though. While I’ll try to be objective, I’ve known Pete for over ten years – he…

My Initial Impression Of the Twelfth Doctor
Last night Peter Capaldi properly debuted as the Twelfth Doctor. I happen to really like what I’ve previously seen of Capaldi, both as an actor and as an actor being interviewed (I can’t claim to actually know him as a person). I must admit that I rooted for Capaldi to have a fantastic first appearance.…

East of West by Jonathan Hickman and Nick Dragotta – A Book Review
I recently checked out a batch of graphic novels in search of a few must-reads. I’m a collector by nature, and I enjoy having a series (or twelve) to follow. East of West could be counted among the batch, but honestly, I picked it up only because it was available. I didn’t particularly like the…

Aquaman Confirmed For Batman v. Superman, and You Better Not Laugh!
So this will be the most geeky post you read today, if not the entire month. Jason Momoa (of Game of Thrones, Conan the Barbarian, and Stargate: Atlantis) has been confirmed at Aquaman in the new Batman v. Superman movie, which is sort of the sequel to Man of Steel. I can’t claim to be…

Black Science: How To Fall Forever by Rick Remender and Matteo Scalera – A Book Review
I saw this book earned a little buzz so I thought I’d check it out. The premise is Grant McKay and his team have broken through the barrier between infinite dimensions. The machine making this capable, The Pillar, got damaged though, so they only have a little time before they jump to another world, and…

We Can Be Writers (Just For One Day?)
We live in amazing era in that we can all be writers. If you want to write, the only thing stopping you is you. Seriously. I get asked quite often how one goes about getting published. There are so many different avenues to getting published, it’s always difficult to answer the question succinctly. The first…

Meet Kevin Suess: Educator Extraordinaire, Activist, and Good Man
Back in 1995 when I was just a freshmen at Illinois State University, a guy lived down the hall from me named Kevin Suess. We became friends, and I’m glad to say it’s a friendship that has lasted almost twenty years. Even back in 1995, Kevin struck me as an honest person, a guy who…

Zero: An Emergency by Ales Kot – A Book Review
Zero has gained a lot of buzz during the last several months. It’s typically described as a spy story with ruthless violence and a cold, detached protagonist. Its main claim to fame is that it features a different artist with each new issue. I’ll be honest. I’m not much for spy stories, but the book…

Pretty Deadly: The Shrike by Kelly Sue DeConnick and Emma Rios – A Book Review
This is a strange book and I mean that as a total compliment. Strange is good. Unique is appreciated. Original is commendable. Pretty Deadly is all of those things, and more. Pretty Deadly is not a linear story. Meaning, it doesn’t start at an origin, then progress to a conclusion. It sort of begins in…
