Constantine #1 Review
Jeff Lemire and Ray Fawkes have given me a little hope. Being a fan of the Vertigo run Hellblazer series I was more then a little wary that DC was taking Constantine into their own realm rather then leaving him in Dark Justice League and Hellblazer. There are still a lot of fans of John [...]
Dc Comics New 52 : Vibe #1 Review
DC Comics New 52 Vibe #1 is something I didn’t expect to find myself reading, Vibe in general as a character was before my time, and then just looking him up and reading about him you could tell he wasn’t the best character out there. He was a break dancer, had a bit of power, [...]
New 52: Justice League of America #1
DC Comics New 52 version of the Justice League of America had me very skeptical at first, I mean when you see the line up and you think about the past of some of these characters you realize that this mix and match team isn’t exactly the big seven, but then when you see the [...]
Review: YOU by Austin Grossman
As not only a fan of comics, but a fan of literature I more often than not find myself crossing paths with books that are not only a great read with an awesome story, but the author behind said book is one of my favorite authors. I always try to step away from my fandom [...]

Hello and welcome to Day 8 of 31 in 31! Day 8 is brought to you by the movie “The Possession” and while this movie just came out I was indeed happy with the non-atypical way it was made. First off it isn’t the usual demon possession kind of situation, and then it doesn’t randomly take over [...]

Here we go again! Today is Day 4 of 31 in 31 and today I bring you another Halloween favorite of mine! This one is from the way back machine, and my childhood, which if you think 28 is old I figure could also be the way back machine to you as well. It [...]
