Truth in comics

I love xkcd and its geeky geeky ways.  It often captures things I’ve lived and/or seen.  Today’s is one I have lived and seen lived.

This reminds me of a post on usenet my friend Anne made in 1998.  To quote:
So I am left not bitter just tired of this whole meeting people, emotional ties, finding [...]

MORTAL KOMBAT!!! vs. DC?

Thanks to Comic Book Resources, I just learned of the in-development game of Mortal Kombat vs. DC.  I have watched the trailer and a few other videos.  This is either going to be the best game ever (for a DC comics dorks like myself) or the worst thing created by man.  There is no middle [...]

“Do you have any super powers?”

Via WWDN.
I’m not quite sure how I ended up as Superman, especially since I think I’m lacking in strength.  I see myself as more of the second two, especially if we’re talking Wally West as the flash.  In any case, I’m sure being Superman will please my daughter.  Dr. Doom I need to think about, [...]

That’s my girl!

The HBO series that ran for three seasons rocked
Keith David is back as the voice of Spawn, [...]

Also, this marks the first time Stephen King has done original content for [...]

COME, SON OF NICOLAS CAGE, KNEEL BEFORE ZOD!

Its been in the news that Nicolas Cage has named his new baby boy Kal-El. Us comic geeks know that Kal-El happens to be Superman’s birth name. Not sure if this is better or worse than Harley Quinn Smith, Kevin Smith’s little girl. I’m thinking Kevin wins here.
In any case, this makes [...]

Enjoy Illinois, see Superman!

Last month I turned 30, which I meant to post about, and now its almost too late to be worth it. I really don’t have much to say except 30 is a number that is BIG and ROUND.
Anyway, for my BIG and ROUND birthday, my lovely wife wanted to get me something special. [...]

Other Things DC

The other thing DC has done well lately is the Justice League and Justice League Unlimited shows. I was afraid that the quality would decline when they switched over to Unlimited and changed from the multi-part to single episode format. My fears have been unfounded as its been really good.
I like that with [...]
