I recently watched The Dark Knight Rises for a third time in theatres, and a question kept popping into my mind (one of many, actually). Why did Batman care about Catwoman AT ALL? Why did he choose her as his future, beyond the cape? There are a lot of head-scratchers in that movie, but that…
Over the years, Jim Doom has been my go-to guy whenever I need a good Photoshop done of a photo. He’s real good and super funny. This morning, I decided that the best way to spend my day would be going through his old posts to find his best Photoshopped pictures he’s ever done. And,…

JIM DOOM: Well, Doom DeLuise, welcome back. It’s been a while since our last podcast. [silence] I actually didn’t even test out these microphones to see if they still work. Is mine working? I said is mine working? Is mine working? Doom DeLuise? Is my microphone working? Hey. Hey? Is my microphone working? It’s been…
Today was what I would characterize as a slow day for new comics. There were only two titles in my pull list this week (Invincible Iron Man and The Walking Dead), and I picked up another I was on the fence about (Daredevil) and one I didn’t know was even coming out (War of the…
