I have grown up with Godzilla and Gamera movies but there was so many TV shows that were of the same genre. As far back as … Read more The solitude of comics by JC…
I have always thought of comic reading/collecting as a very solo hobby. I mean we buy our comics and typically take them home and read them alone. The social aspect of the hobby typically comes from when we visit the comics store we shop at, or when we attend conventions. The thing is, pop culture … Read more Doc’s Reviews for the Week of 07/15/2020

So as Bill Black’s tale of Alizarin Crimson and new villain in training the Dream Shround … Read more “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times”..By Shawn S.
It’s such a great sentence because it’s always true. Each defines the other. Picture a spaceship in, um, space. It can be either the U.S.S. Enterprise or the Millenium Falcon. I mention both because I know there are two kinds of people, and I’m a uniter, not a divider. If you see the ship against … Read more Doc’s Review’s for the Week of 6/24/20

METAL MEN #7 DC COMICS Just over 1/2 way through the maxi-series and it looks as Didio has gone off on a tangent.

And while an arguement can be made that one of the things … Read more Doc’s Reviews for the Week of 06/10/2020
LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES #6 DC COMICS To be honest, I feel a bit cheated here. Boldly annoucing the newest recruits of the Legion on the cover, I had hoped to see them in action or at the very least given a little back story here. Monster Boy appears as a Mars Attacks! style alien … Read more |
