Kryptonite Never Looked So Hot

EPIC #0 by Tyler James and Matt Zolman:  A “No Spoilers” review Imagine being a Super Hero. Imagine all the verve and vitality of youth and super powers and idealism. Imagine hormones run rampant, Imagine being in Florida during spring break. Imagine your secret vulnerability is …hot girls. Does the term screwed come to mind?

Waldo Redux

In 1942 Bob Heinlein wrote a novella called Waldo, not as in “where the hell is he”, but more along the lines of a mechanical genius exiled from humanity. The protagonist, Waldo Farnsworth-Jones suffers from Myasthenia Gravis (MG)  and becomes the penultimate inventor devising mechanical devices to overcome the shortcomings of his ravaged body.

Letting My Geek Flag Fly

Sure, I ain’t no Mickey Mantle, didn’t hit no 3 zillion home runs, BUT I do know the proper way to defrag a hard drive and have watched every frackin’ episode of Wondefalls.

RIP Al Williamson

Al Williamson passed away earlier this week, and we are all poorer for it.  To mention his name is to evoke images of lush landscapes, chiseled heroes, needlenosed rockets and snarling dinosaurs.  His Weird Science and Weird Fantasy comics for EC were as significant to the genre as Alex Raymond’s Flash Gordon (a series he […]

Now reports out have said that upcoming from TB will be Mai, The Psychic Girl, a project that has been in development […]

It’s Brave, it’s Bold; it’s damn good writing

One thing about comic book fans — we don’t just read our books, we re-read ’em like crazy.  This is one of the reasons why so many of us forget our CPR training when it counts the most, but can still quote you the effects of each version of kryptonite (green k kills Superman, red […]
