We live in what may be remembered as the Golden Age of Superhero Cinema and Television! With the release, and demise, of Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice it seems only fair that we look at our favorites (and some not so faves) from the recent past… Earth-2M: The Flash. DC has never had a…

CONVERSING ABOUT CONVERGENCE, WEEK SEVEN EDITION
Written by the 13th Dr. Sean (This article contains spoilers for DC comics released 5/20/15). Well the penultimate issue has come and, in true Convergence fashion, it was underwhelming. After suffering through Telos vs. Deimos, it is ultimately Parallax who not only destroys Deimos, but has the best line in the issue. After grabbing Deimos,…
Conversing About Convergence, Week Five Edition
Written by the 13th Dr. Sean (This article contains spoilers for DC comics that were released on 05/06/15) Every week, these posts are prefaced with a spoiler alert so as not to spoil any surprises for those of you who haven’t read the Convergence books yet. Well, with that in mind, after reading issue 5…
A Blind Man Shall Lead Them
Utilizing classic storytelling techniques with beautiful art and a riveting plot, Mark Waid’s Daredevil is a modern masterpiece that both DC and Marvel should look too for pointers on how to reverse the tragic decline of the state of comics. So what is it about Daredevil that sets it apart from all the rest of modern superhero comics, well DC and Marvel, sit back, grab a pen, and prepare to take notes on the elements of what comprises a rewarding comic.
Conversing About Convergence, Week Four Edition
Written by the 13th Dr. Sean (This article contains spoilers for DC comics that were released on 04/29/15) Week 4: Well the first half of Convergence has come to a close, and while I have mentioned a lot of the problems I am having with the event overall, I will say that this week offered…
Conversing About Convergence, Week Three Edition
Written by the 13th Dr. Sean (This article contains spoilers for DC comics that were released on 04/22/15) Week 3: Well after another week of Convergence, I find myself wondering if maybe, somewhere out in the multiverse, there is either another world where comics are back to being good again, or another Sean, who decided…
Book Club: Age of Ultron
With the amount of comic book Wednesdays between now and the release of the Avengers: Age of Ultron dwindling, the gang at Sniktybamf decided to kick off its initial Book Club with a re-reading 2013’s Age of Ultron from Marvel Comics. Avengers: Age of Ultron should make Ultron a household name outside of the comic…
Conversing About Convergence, Week One Edition
Written by the 13th Dr. Sean (This article contains spoilers for DC comics that were released on 04/08/15) After having read the first full week of Convergence, I found myself whelmed (neither over nor under). For all intents and purposes, Convergence appears to be a poor amalgam of many different stories. It’s Brainiac meets Countdown:Arena,…
New 52: Whatever Happened to the Doom Patrol?
Let me jump right into this by saying I enjoyed Flashpoint AND bought and read all DC New 52 #1 issues. Not only did this reboot inspire curiosity but I was hopeful that they would be better than what DC was producing at the time. The prior reboot, a quarter of a century ago, was…
Man of Steal.
Well I should have known going into this one that the term “summer blockbuster” coincides only with a well circulated, high quality sounding, wallet shrinking multi-seat theatre (with an option for three-dimensional viewing of course). Let’s not even mention the price for medium popcorn these days (bank loan anyone). Since Blockbuster and the ‘mom and…
