Ben Affleck … I’ll Miss You
You may remember that I’m a strong supporter of Ben Affleck’s Batman. In fact, I wrote a lengthy article a few years ago encouraging Affleck to stick with the role. While Michael Keaton will always be my favorite Batman, with Adam West coming in second, I thought Affleck playing an older, beaten-up Batman worked really…

Superman: American Alien by Max Landis – A Book Review
You all know I struggle with Superman. Many writers get the “super” right, but fail to truly capture the “man.” Max Landis absolutely put the “man” before the “super” in this collection, and Superman is all the more “super” as a result.

Wonder Woman – Leaving the Boys Behind
So you heard me gush about the Justice League trailer yesterday, and then I saw something that appears even better – Wonder Woman. If you haven’t seen the trailer yet, prepare to be impressed … “Power. Grace. Wisdom. Wonder.” Doesn’t the tag line say it all? We’ve waited a long time for a Wonder Woman…

Superman: Rebirth #1 – A (Comic) Book Review
As you can tell, I’m all in on DC’s “Rebirth” initiative. I actually went into the comic book shop again today — making it two weeks in a row — and bought THREE single issue comic books. It’s been well over ten years since that’s happened. The book I felt most excited to purchase? Superman:…

To Honor Darwyn Cooke
Cancer steals those we love on an alarmingly regular basis. Some of those victims we love because they are friends or family; others we love because we admire their artistic ingenuity. Reports are breaking that we lost one such artist this morning – Darwyn Cooke. He was only 53. If you’re unfamiliar with Darwyn Cooke,…
