Revival: You’re Among Friends by Seeley and Norton – A Book Review
Don’t call this a zombie book, because it’s not. In Revival, a relatively small number of recently deceased people in a small Wisconsin town inexplicably return to life. They can now recover from virtually any injury, and range from remaining exactly the same as when they lived in the conventional sense to, well, odd. Right…

Lazarus: Family by Greg Rucka – A Book Review
I picked up Lazarus out of curiosity because Amazon kept suggesting I read it. I’m familiar with Greg Rucka’s work, so I thought it would be worth my time. The first volume of Lazarus, entitled Family, did not disappoint, though I must admit that I probably won’t follow the series. The world is now owned…

The 12th DAUSTER
I love Doctor Who, though I’m a relatively recent convert. I think I became a fan about two years ago. I’m very much enjoying Peter Capaldi’s take since taking over the role of The Doctor.

Other than Eddie Thawne and Dr. Harrison Wells, I didn’t find any of The Flash’s…

Edge of Tomorrow – A Movie Review
There’s been a lot of hype concerning Edge of Tomorrow, and let me tell you, it’s all well deserved. The premise is familiar, to be sure. Tom Cruise plays “Cage,” an unwilling, inept soldier who is better suited as the military’s brilliant public relations man. Cage pisses off the wrong superior and finds himself on the…

This Suicide Squad Has Life!
I’m the first to admit that I never really cared for the Suicide Squad. I’ve got the first issue seen below from it’s original publication in 1987, and I can tell you, as a ten-year-old at the time, it wasn’t really my thing. I’ve been amused by their various incarnations throughout the decades, especially their…
