Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn – A Book Review
I promise to reveal nothing secretive about this book during my review, for to give away even a single detail will likely ruin the experience as a whole to the new reader. I will simply say this: the first half of the book is utter genius. I can’t recall of late a time I found…

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…

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…
