As the company has done for a number of years, a Christmas tree was put up in the lobby and, a few days after Thanksgiving, Angel Tree stockings were hung. I had decided long ago to participate in the Angel Tree program this year and, when I was passing by the lobby area on otherContinue reading “An Angel Tree Package for the Office”

On Flashpoint and the New DC Universe
Two weeks ago, I ruminated on DC Comics’ Flashpoint event and what it might mean for Batman comics.

Comics fandom has been beside itself since Tuesday trying to figure outContinue reading “On Flashpoint and the New DC Universe”
On the Justice League and the Justice Society
The on-again, off-again film based on DC Comics’ Justice League appears to be off again. Years of development heck wasted. The present Justice League project seemed cursed from the very beginning.

On Justice League: The Final Frontier
Imagine this: Batman vs. Worf. Batman vs. Zak Kebron. Batman vs. Si Cwan. Okay, Batman wins all three fights. Handily. Imagine this one: Batman vs. Calhoun. Okay, Batman wins that one, too. Okay, so if there were to be a JLA/Star Trek crossover, we probably shouldn’t have it be hero vs. hero; no one canContinue reading “On Justice League: The Final Frontier”
