Green Lantern Review: More thoughts
I didn’t really say anything about Hector Hammond. Frankly, I feel he was totally wasted. The film’s attempt to make him some sort of avatar…nothing less than the Silver Surfer to Parallax’s big-ugly-planet-sized-cloud-that-we’ll-call-Galactus…really doesn’t work. Hector could have been a villain for the entire movie; as it is, we have this whole Daddy didn’t love…

There may be regrets about casting aside original titles that were reaching extremely high numbers all for the sake…

My Father’s Day Gifts to Myself
Amazon package arrived today. Guess what’s inside? The animated Legion of Super-Heroes Vol. 1-3, which is now packaged together for $17 instead of sold individually for $15 each. (I don’t know why they won’t do season sets anymore. Obviously, they want to shake us down for more cash per individual disk, but I’m not buying…

The Complete list of DC #1s
Okay, this is kind of a cheat on my part in order to hit my “post every day in June” vow. A list of the total rollout. An Updatable List Of The 52 DC Titles For September I’ll have more detailed reactions, but for now I’m holding my tongue. The world doesn’t need one more…
