The Rest Within The Comic Books
2008-07-30 16:43:00 Lately, I have been incredibly busy. Almost too busy for comic books–or too tired when I get back to my bed. But wait!! Comic books are not work!!

Flash Revisted
2008-06-19 10:48:00 (Image from ComicVine.com) I’ve never read much of the Flash . I really never understood his apeal.

Up and Running?Sort of
2008-06-01 19:49:00 Over the last couple of weeks, you have been entertained by stuff I wrote prior to arriving in Iraq–I did that to 1. Keep the website alive and 2. To mask my movement–OPSEC stuff.

DRY Heat
2008-05-22 09:21:00 As I enter the summer in Iraq, I notice the heat. 120 Degrees Fahrenheit at times, 90 at night. An escape? Wow–the Bat Cave would be nice.

Dream a little dream
2008-05-15 08:21:00 The other day I was in a group of people who was asked: If you could do anything in the world what would it be–what would your dream be.

Comic Book Food
2008-05-01 17:11:00 What do you eat when you read comic books? This can be a big question. I like to spend a day reading my book–sit in a corner, with a cup of coffee, or tea–I prefer not to drink my Diet Coke in a glass when I read–but sometimes I will have one in a can. But ...

One More Day Conclusion
2008-04-15 22:05:00 It was sad to see, but I don’t believe that this is the end of Mr and Mrs Parker. I just don’t see it–if anything, this gives the writers years of romantic tension for Spider-Man. But, I think it will be a lot of fun to watch. It is comic books like this one that makes me ... More About: Comics , Marvel Comics
I Am Superman
2008-04-10 18:21:00 The R.E.M. song “I am Superman ” started out like this– “I am I am I am Superman and I know what’s happening. I am I am I am Superman and I can do anything.” Then there was once a favorite Snickers commercial of mine that featured a football player who said “I’m Batman.” More recently, at the end ...

I want your MARRIAGE
2008-04-08 19:36:00 What a great read! Spider-Man comes face to face with the Mephisto, who makes an offer: His Marriage or His Aunt. Ok, so that doesn’t seem so spectacular, but it really does. We don’t see marriage lifted up to the high a place in most places of American media. Here it is. ... More About: Comics , Marvel Comics

Personal Recovery
2008-03-31 14:52:00 The PS Magazine guys do a great job of breaking down the common sense approach to personal recovery, if a soldier is ever separated from his/her unit.

The New Low
2008-03-28 21:47:00 I watched the new DC Universe movie “Justice League: The New Frontier.” I wasn’t that impressed.

So, what ... More About: Comics
One more day..begins
2008-03-25 15:54:00 Last November of 2007, Marvel began to put together a new twist for Spider-man–that would take him a different direction.

While this issue ... More About: Comics , Marvel Comics
Stop

That Smarts!
2008-02-29 21:49:00 The picture drawn on the back of PS Magazine 662, February 2008, shows us how little we have changed–even with all of the technology available.

EyePro
2008-02-28 21:49:00 I love this cover. I think it shows the face of the American Soldier–serious, tough, and dressed to standard. This picture inspires the message of what right looks like. Many times Kubert has good covers–but this one strikes a cord with me. I think that he did an excellent job of communicating the importance of eye ... More About: Comics

2008-02-12 10:30:00 An unconfirmed e-rumor is saying that Fox is suing Warner Brothers for the rights to the Watchmen movie.

Impaired Vision
More articles from this author:2008-02-07 23:44:00 One of my favorite comic book heroes is Daredevil–The Man Without Fear. I am fascinated by the writers ability to tap into a basic sense and remove it–then work around it and make this a strength.
