Mars Needs Podcasts #171- The Light Fingered Five

Mars Needs Podcasts #171- The Light Fingered Five

JJ and his amazing friends The Light Fingered Five sit down to discuss improvisation and new projects. I would like to thank them for sitting and talking into mics for me. They really are my second family. Special thanks also go to the amazing Elizabeth for consenting to hold the interview, allowing me to be “one of the guys”. The LF5 talk about what improv is and what a group is all about, as well … Read entire article »

Jack of All Trades – Demon Knights Vol. 1: Seven Against the Dark

Jack of All Trades – Demon Knights Vol. 1: Seven Against the Dark

The DC relaunch set a lot of characters adrift, not just ancillary supporting characters unknown to people beyond a given title’s readership, but named characters like Wally West, former Kid Flash and longtime inheritor of the Flash mantle (prior to Barry Allen’s resurrection), and former Batgirls Stephanie Brown and Cassandra Cain. Demon Knights makes a home for DC’s more fantastical stable of Arthurian and Dark Age-inspired characters, misfits amongst the reboot’s more science fiction-oriented approach … Read entire article »

Aaron’s WWEport – One Thousand

Aaron’s WWEport – One Thousand

The 1000th episode of RAW was aired this past week, and as per usual Vince turned it into equal parts car crash and joyous entertainment. I won’t go into a full break down of the episode but I would like to talk about the moments that stuck out for me. Overall, it was a decent show, nothing more, but it was a “kitchen sink” sort of broadcast with so many crazy parts that it deserves some mention. As … Read entire article »

Jack of All Trades – Journey Into Marvel

Jack of All Trades – Journey Into Marvel

Reviews of WOLVERINE AND THE X-MEN: ALPHA & OMEGA and JOURNEY INTO MYSTERY: THE TERRORISM MYTH Given my focus on New 52 titles and DC collections, one can easily assume in the ever futile war between DC and Marvel, my allegiances fall squarely with DC. However, I do have a soft spot for a few Marvel characters, mainly those I was exposed to in animated form in the Saturday mornings of my youth: X-Men, Spider-Man, and … Read entire article »

Mars Needs Podcasts 170- The Fields of Athenry

Mars Needs Podcasts 170- The Fields of Athenry

JJ and his amazing friend Aaron usually have very unique conversations. This one is no different, trust me. The pair start things off by mocking accents, and then discussing who they would have same sex relations with if they “had” to. From there it goes to sports, and patriotism, but I think to tell you much more would be a disservice. Stick around to the end, folks you won’t want to miss awkward beauty.

Review: Suicide Squad Vol. 1: Kicked in the Teeth

Review: Suicide Squad Vol. 1: Kicked in the Teeth

How do you replace Gail Simone’s much lauded Secret Six? Yet another victim of the DC relaunch, forced to end before its various plot threads could be tied up adequately. Even then, Secret Six went out with a bang, the entire gang taken down by no less than the entire Justice League. Well, that’s certainly a tall order but Adam Glass rises to the challenge. While many will mourn the loss of Secret Six, Suicide Squad … Read entire article »

The Batman: Now and Then, Here and There

The Batman: Now and Then, Here and There

Reviews of BATMAN & ROBIN VOL. 1: BORN TO KILL and BATMAN: EARTH ONE Here we have portraits of the Batman in two phases of his life: a young, inexperienced Bruce Wayne  in his earliest years as Batman, little more than a sack of vengeance with a costume; to a modern, self-assured Wayne in his mid-…thirties? forties? fifties?…mid-forfties, a father growing tired of his hardboiled, paranoid past, looking forward to carving a brighter, safer future for … Read entire article »

Aaron’s WWEport – You Can Bank On It

Aaron’s WWEport – You Can Bank On It

Just when I thought I was out… they pulled me back in! Before the summer began I had grown increasingly frustrated with the WWE, particularly it’s creative department. Their best wrestlers weren’t being utilized and the few that were had some terrible storylines with wrestlers who didn’t deserve the air-time (I’m still looking at you, Khali). I had genuinely decided to quit this column and concentrate on more grown up things, like comic books. However, recently things … Read entire article »
