August 4, 2013 10:46 am Fearless Defenders is my favorite cover. Should I be reading this ? Something about a girl in overalls, always cute

August 2, 2013 10:28 pm Astonishing X-men (Whedon and Cassaday's run) was a great story with Kitty &Colossus (my fav X-man). Try the first 2 trades(her shinning moment being in the last TPB, a great payoff!!)

August 2, 2013 10:18 pm I give this a 4/5. I haven't read the Flashpoint event, but the film presented a solid elseworlds tale for me. Voice acting was a B. Liked seeing characters like Deathstroke, the Rogues, Cyborg get some screen time. Animation was solid, only characters were depicted as overly muscular( Aquaman's upper torso was just ridiculous). Finally, the violence was a bit too much. I think it could have been handled better. We don't need to see a kid die, blood streaming from his mouth. It would have worked off camera with just as well (indicated by some creative use of sound effects). Dismemberment, death, mayhem, a headshot. I get it, the future is bleak unless a hero steps up. The finale with Bruce/Flash in the Batcave was a nice moment as was the closing credits scene with the Flash.

July 27, 2013 11:16 pm The fondness you describe those trips to your LCS is the same reason I make it a habit to take my daughter on our special trips. Whether going to midtown comics (here in NYC) to check out some Archies or discount bookstores for her favorite manga I make it a point to go every once in a while in search of comics/books with her. Sure we can just download it on her kindle, but I make it a point to have our special time,building memories, a joy of reading and oh yeah, some cool stuff for dad.
