Comic Book Review: ‘Avenging Spider-Man Annual’ #1
With it’s ‘Marvel Team-Up’ style of storytelling, ‘Avenging Spider-Man’ is hit and miss with each issue. Luckily, so far this series has been mostly hit. It’s teamed up my favorite Marvel character (Spidey) with a slew of great heroes. Heck! It even managed to make... -

Comic Book Review: ‘The Amazing Spider-Man’ #696
In ‘Amazing Spider-Man’ #695, the new Hobgoblin (Phil Ulrich in case you’re keeping score) found a way to ramp up Spidey’s spider-sense so that it’s essentially useless. To make matters worse, Ulrich has decided that he’s going to get to Spider-Man by kidnapping the... -
Comic Book Review: ‘Superman’ #13
After the lackluster issues with ‘Superman Annual’ #1 and ‘Superman’ #0, I wasn’t sure to to expect with this issue. I didn’t care for writer Scott Lobdell’s retelling of Krypton’s doom in ‘Superman’ #0 but I’m always willing to give anyone at least 2-3... -

Blu-ray/DVD Review: ‘The Chernobyl Diaries’
I wasn’t as big a fan of writer/director Oren Peli’s ‘Paranormal Activity’ as some. Most of that comes from my being bored to tears by most “ghost story” type movies. That said, the premise behind Peli’s writing follow up, ‘Chernobyl Diaries’ sounded promising.... -
