It's strange to think that I haven't posted here in five years, but I haven't. And... really, things have changed very little in all that time. Oh don't get me wrong: there are now tons of great superhero/comic book/geek/sci-fi movies out there and I'm happy to say that the last three that I saw--Aquaman, Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse and the far less hyped Reign of the Supermen have all been great. Great with a lowercase G, except for Spiderverse which I feel was truly great. Like Jaws great.
We're coming out of a surprisingly awesome 80th anniversary of Superman, which gave us Krypton, Elseworlds (the Arrow/Flash/Supergirl crossover on TV) Action Comics #1,000, Brian Michael Bendis' run on various Superman books including his own miniseries Man of Steel (I'm not a fan of his, but this stuff was solid) and the direct-to-DVD animated feature The Death of Superman. This after the truly disappointing Justice League and good-but-unfaithful Injustice 2 both from 2017.
I'm thinking that this new version of my blog need not be as Superman-centric. I might even get into music and maybe even p... p... p... politics. But the comics world will be where I hang my hat and as far as I'm concerned, it's Superman's world and all the others just live in it. Of course, that's how Batman fans feel and it's his 80th anniversary, so there will be some interesting things coming out.
Figure I'll try to get this blog up and running about every other week.
