Marvel’s Avengers – Missed Opportunities
I’m enjoying Marvel’s Avengers. It’s not a bad game. It’s decent. Everything about it is decent. Decent animations, skins, story, and so on. What’s weird and off-putting is wrapping all of that around a live-service engine.

Should I Read It? Secret Wars (1984)
I know what you are thinking – didn’t we just leave this party? Â And the answer to that is…complicated. Â I am talking about the original Secret Wars from 1984-1985 today, one of the very first big crossover events at the big publishers. Â It debuted 32 years ago, though you can’t tell from the May date…

Our Free Comic Book Day 2015 Haul!
Above you can see the picks both me and my kids picked out for Free Comic Book Day 2015! Â I didn’t get to get out early so I missed a couple of the free books I wanted (the Dark Horse sampler with the Avatar: The Last Airbender comic, and Terrible Lizard) but we still got…

The “For Boys” Problem
This is my daughter, Mattie (and the back of my other daughter, Eva). Â The girls have taken on my love of comics, mostly due to the show Earth’s Mightiest Heroes and the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Â M is wearing her new Captain America hoodie which may be her new favorite possession. Â Upon seeing it in the…

Movie Review – Thor: The Dark World
The first Thor movie (am I the only one who feels like THOR should be all-caps? Â or maybe in that ‘Asgardian’ font they use in the comics?) was a solid effort despite some cornball moments. Â The real star turn from that was for Tom Hiddleston’s Loki however, and the fact he got to villain it…

The Top 10 Superhero Movies Of All Time
I got to thinking about this thanks to a forum post at one of the sites I frequent. Someone said there hadn’t BEEN ten good ones, which just seemed silly, so I quickly banged out my list. But there are so many more movies, I know you guys will differ! So I present to you,…

Movie Review – The Avengers
Be warned: Spoilers, I have them. I’ve been struggling with how to approach reviewing The Avengers. I mean, I’m a comic guy from way back, but not an obsessive one. Iron Man is one of my favorites, and I’m not sure I can be entirely impartial.  Had I stayed up last night (got home at 1:30am)…

More on Thor: Come ON, Roger
Roger Ebert is one of the few critics I play attention to. Â I don’t always agree with him, but he thinks really hard on even the silliest movie he has the misfortune to see. Â That is, most of the time. Â He didn’t review Thor officially, but mentioned in his ‘Journal’ today. Â I can understand him…

Movie Review – Thor
I went and saw Thor at the IMAX 3D last night, solid, enjoyable movie. I was never a fanboy of the Thor comic, mostly only reading it when it came in the big bulk packs that I bought, but I’m glad I went to see this movie. This is normally where I’d explain who Thor…

Spring and Summer 2011 Movies
The meat of the 2011 movie season is coming up, including the Summer blockbusters, and I thought I’d run them down and see which ones I’m planning to check out. Note that as a Dad, the list leans towards animated movies as well as comic book movies and summer blockbusters. I don’t like horror and…
