Batman Begins – A Movie Review
I know this was a good movie because I went to see it with several friends and their wives, including mine, and the wives, including mine, loved it! This was the Batman that every fanboy has longed to see. He was intense, guilt-ridden, an expert fighter, truly frightening, and took what he did very seriously. …

Justice, Volume I – A Graphic Novel Review
Justice: Volume I is a good start to what seems to be an interesting story. The artwork is captivating and the writing is adequate enough to keep me looking forward to the conclusion.

JLA: World Without a Justice League – A Graphic Novel Review
I remember reading a few of the single issues of this storyline and was not impressed in the least. In fact, I gave up on them. However, after reading the collected edition, I must admit that it was not as terrible as I remembered. Make no mistake, this arc is set amidst the editorial transitions…

The Sandman: Preludes and Nocturnes by Neil Gaiman – A Book Review
I somehow missed the boat on this series that began in 1988. It ran through 1997, and some believe it is the greatest comic series to have ever existed. I finally-FINALLY-decided I needed to check it out. Gaiman himself has admitted in the past that Preludes and Nocturnes was a bit of a rough start…

Adam Strange: Planet Heist – A Graphic Novel Review
Up until just a mere few months ago, I honestly thought that Adam Strange was the lamest character ever created in the world of comic books. His costume was terrible, his entire storyline outdated, a relic of ’60’s sci-fi. Nothing, and I mean nothing, could ever turn me into a fan of Adam Strange. That…
