Folk who frequent here know I’m a big Steampunk fan. I think some of the best work in the genre is happening right now — as it’s settled in from its 2012 craze that saw a big public interest in Steampunk, but literature failing as it reskinned horror and romance novels into what should have […]
The
Quick Shot Comic Reviews – Valentines Day Week!
Reviewing up a selection of comics I read this week in brief snippets: Bane: Conquest #9: The start of a new arc here, where Bane is assembling a team to go after the dastardly secret society Kobra. Interesting introductions to several characters, though a little slower than a lot of the book has been so […]
They’re Trying To Take Away Our Right To Speak (And We Can’t Let Them)
Yesterday, I touched on DC Comics’ new “social media policy” for t heir contractors, which is aimed at one specific person in order to silence his political speech. Against the wishes of its own members, the board of the Bruin Republicans has caved to intense pressure from the UCLA faculty and one of its advisors […]
Book Blast: God Hates Me: The Diary of an Ex-Angel By Richard Cain
I love when fantasy hits on good Christian concepts, and this looks to be an excellent work in that regard. Evil comes as wolves in sheep’s clothings. They don’t tend to show themselves as the ugly, hateful creatures you’d expect. This book looks like an entertaining fantasy/horror read: Demon is such an ugly word. Malach […]
Music Is Mindset
Something I’ve wanted to post about for a bit in terms of general “successful mindset”, is about music. It’s no secret that I’m quite into bubbly pop music, especially that of the legendary Taylor Swift. I love listening to music on vinyl, which is why I would recommend you to check out these turntable guides for […]
Comic Review: Batman Dark Prince Charming
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 […]
Why The Old Way Of Publishing Is Failing
Yesterday I ran into a very powerful blue-checkmark literary agent who represents a rather big NYT bestselling author on Twitter. He was going off on sensitivity readers and while describing exactly how it is censorship, claimed it’s not censorship at all. It was a bit of a crazy thread, all about shaming authors into not […]
SJWs Ruin Board Games: FFG To Kill L5R Tradition
Legend of the Five Rings is a game I’ve played since it’s inception in 1994, in both card game and RPG fashion. It was a CCG, similar to Magic The Gathering, and for a long time it was hailed as an alternative to the game. I thought it was better. It required stronger tactics, more […]

#SteampunkMonth Retro Review: 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea
I had originally thought that this would a short read, something quick that I could get into and show its influence on the streampunk genre, as in steampunk communities, this book is talked about regularly. I’d considered it proto-steampunk from my loose memory of it as a child. Perhaps its due to its attitude, just […]
It’s Time To Burn The Ships In Publishing
I still have a few readers out there who have zero concerns over entertainment industry blackballing issues. They’re firmly planted in the “it can’t happen to me” mentality, where “it’s okay” because “Trump supporters are mean!” or some nonsense. This is where most people would talk about fascism, but that word is losing all of […]
This Simple Health Tip Will Change Your Life!
Okay, so most y’all know that I love to poke fun at clickbait headlines that I see circulating on social media. This is another one of those. However, I do actually have something that’s been pretty big for me since I started the last month. I promise not to turn this into a regular food/health […]
