Wonder Woman ’77 #1 (Comics Review)
The Wonder Woman from the 1970s probably stands as one of the best comics adaptation for television to date, same as the Adam West-starrer Batman show. Both have become classics over time, imprinting themselves in pop culture for decades. And also because this show was Wonder Woman’s first ever television series, and also the first […]
World of WarCraft: War Crimes by Christie Golden (Book Review)

John Carter: Warlord of Mars #3 (Comics Review)
Dynamite’s latest John Carter series, John Carter: Warlord of Mars got off to a great start last year in November.

25 Series I Want To Read in 2015
I began this particular reading challenge in 2013, as a way to motivate myself to read widely across genres and also to kind of catch-up on some big names of the various genres I haven’t been able to get around to as yet. The 2013 challenge was a close one for me, and last year’s […]
Grimm Fairy Tales #106 (Comics Review)
The first arc on the softly-rebooted Grimm Fairy Tales ended last month, and it was a fairly good end to a fairly strong arc. We got to meet with the next generation of probable Realm Knights and saw how they all interacted with each other and how they were all influences by their own past […]

The next couple of movies from Marvel are going to be Avengers: Age of Ultron in May this year and then Ant Man in July this year. The latter will close out Phase 2 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and we will then have to wait till next year’s Captain America: Civil War for the […]

Last year I did a small roundup over at The Founding Fields with fellow reviewer Bane of Kings which contained a list of the best new comics to have come out in 2013. It was a rather small list with only 10 entries each from the two of us, reflecting our reading for the year […]

Adventures in Magic the Gathering Part 1
My only prior experience with card games is the old set of playing cards that used to come in the WWF and Cricket varieties. I still own dozens of cards in both… genres and I always get a great kick out of looking at them every few months when the fancy takes me. But I […]
