Green Lantern Flickers Between Boredom & Excitement

I remember last year sitting outside the 6,000-seat capacity Hall H at the San Diego Convention Center. It was a cool, gray-skyed morning as the line of pedestrian traffic snaked around the dewy grass.  We all shared a common eagerness to experience the discussion panel of the Green Lantern. The almost-year since then has passed quickly and the [...]

Batman: Under the Red Hood (Blu-ray Review)

Not all that long ago, I came across DC’s latest animated title to hit the streets.  Titled Batman: Under the Red Hood, Amazon included a brief clip from the film that contained some action, though offered little in the way of substance.  It was questionable that DC released yet another Batman title in their animated [...]

The Losers Come Out Ahead

From the moment I saw the trailer back in January, I was instantly convinced that The Losers was going to be a fun-filled action flick with moments of over-the-top action, a little naughty Saldaña, and a whole lot of happy triggers.  Now it’s three months later and opening weekend for the film and as for [...]

Blackest Night: Superman

This past summer, dusk arrived a little early in the DC Comics universe.  The Blackest Night storyline finally made its debut and it did not disappoint.  More than your typical sub-plot for existing storylines, Blackest Night is an 8-part series (issues 1 & 2 are already out) with two other mini-series taking place at the [...]
