Batman Dark Prince Charming comes in a nice hardcover package – a bit small for the hardcover treatment and at a bit of a steep price point at $12.99 for what looks like a thin book. It doesn’t help the book comes shrink-wrapped so if you’re not in the know in having researched it, you […]

Alt-Hero: Paperbacks Now Availble!
Two days left in the campaign for the final push. It’s been such a tremendous success and I’m honored to be a part of this amazing project, also featuring one of my writing heroes, Chuck Dixon. We’ve added the paperbacks as an option now so at the very least go out and grab the ebooks […]
Marvel Comics Editor: All Men Are “Part Of The Problem” #ComicsGate
The implication is clear: all men are evil and abusers if only by proxy. Not to mention this is quite the marginalizing of male victims of sexual abuse. It reminds me of the way I saw a lot of posts this last year with you say “I’m not” that’s exactly what a Nazi WOULD say. […]
A Second Alt-Hero Novel Is A Go!
It’s been part of the stretch goals, but I haven’t wanted to talk about it much until it was a sure thing, but I am now contracted for not one but TWO Alt-Hero novels for this cool project that keeps expanding, keeps getting better, and is fast becoming an intellectual property to be reckoned with […]
Chuck Dixon To Join Alt-Hero Team!
I’m frankly more excited about this than my own involvement. It’s a stretch goal that needs to be met, but Chuck Dixon has been brought in to write issues 7-9 of Alt-Hero. If you’re not familiar with comics, Chuck is one of the most prolific and most highly regarded writers in the comic industry. He […]
Marvel Uses Stan Lee As Shield For Their Hate
This actually would have been a great example for the increased vitriol I was talking about in my last blog post, but I just saw this video Marvel released, where they had a very old and frail looking Stan Lee talk about how Marvel “always has touched on cultural issues” — a standard mantra I […]
Comic Review: X-O Manowar #7
Aric has donned the X-O armor up to the shoulders now, and is regularly wearing it, despite the fact that he spends time talking to the armor and telling it how it is simply a tool (poor good skin!). He’s uncovered in quick fashion that the plot of the general to bring in this monolith […]
Comic Review: Bloodshot: Salvation #1
Bloodshot is a character from Valiant Comics who is kind of like a cross between Punisher and Wolverine. An experiment from a secret military organization, Bloodshot is infused with nanites that make him a killing machine and give him regeneration powers. This book continues with the feel of Bloodshot: Reborn, much more than the crazy/zany […]
Marvel Doubles Down On Politics – Employees Block Reviewers & Fans
I did a periscope going over Marvel’s situation globally and talking about the epic PR failure by Marvel today. I’m not sure they can survive many more scandals like this: https://www.pscp.tv/jondelarroz/1YpJkmYoqeYKj?t=32
Comic Review: Golgatha
I picked this up because I saw a kickstarter that had a science fiction comic, and those are pretty rare. It looked very heavy on the SF, which I was excited about. So how did the story break down? Golgatha is the story of colonists who get sent on a mission to colonize a new […]
X-O Manowar 2012 Run (Vol 1-13) Reflections
Mild spoilers for anyone who’s reading through this. Nothing big though. I caught up on X-O Manowar, which was just relaunched a few months ago, written by Matt Kindt. The current iteration I found so beautiful that I wanted to go back and see the history of the character, which was rebooted with the rest […]
Comic Review: X-O Manowar #3
Some spoilers ahead, though I left out a couple crucial details to ensure the story is still enjoyable to those who pick this up. X-O Manowar #3 picks up right where #2 left off, with Aric preparing for an outright assault on the President of the other faction. It starts out with this pretty montage […]
