GI Joe: A Real American Hero #1 (June 1982)

A few months ago, I walked into Midwest Pickers Warehouse in Omaha with my wife. She wanted to look for some retro-ish credenza for our hallway. For those of you who don’t live here or who haven’t been, this business is exactly what it sounds like – – a couple of folks sitting in a…



What was Bane’s Master Plan in DKR, anyway?

Between his funny voice and Tom Hardy’s inherent magnetism, it’s very easy to ignore everything else in “The Dark Knight Rises.” But, believe it or not, there’s actually a plot in that movie, and it doesn’t make a LICK of sense. Don’t get me wrong, though. I love the movie. Absolutely. I’ll see it dozens…



Why did Batman fall for Catwoman in DKR?

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…

Doom & Doomer: The Dark Knight Rises

DOOM DELUISE: Ok, so Nolan’s Batman Trilogy is over. I don’t know about you, but this conclusion isn’t at all what I expected, but we can get back to that. Overall, all things considered, would you say this is a satisfying final chapter, or did you leave the theater wanting more from it, or, at…

The Doomino Effect
for Week 2 of The New 52

So funny thing happened — I was doing this weekly comic review called “The Doomino Effect” and then I stopped doing it for like two years. Speaking of looking back at the past, that leads me to Action Comics #1 by Grant Morrison and Rags Morales. Like Justice League #1, this story seems to be…
