Tales of broken cars and a big sale

Wizard World and MSP Comic-con

People have been wondering what my thoughts were after going to a few Wizard World shows after a 6 year boycott, and the St.Paul Comic-con after lambasting the new management.  I’ve been putting it off because frankly, I don’t have much to say about them. I don’t just get on… Continue reading

RE: falling into Gorilla pit. You think THAT is bad parenting?

A three year old fell into a Gorilla pit in Ohio this weekend and the Zoo officials  shot the Gorilla and rescued the boy. This has lead the all wise, all knowing internet to blame the mother and rant and rave about them shooting the Gorilla.  “bad Parenting” is what… Continue reading

In defense of the AVGN, your premise is idiotic.

The Ghostbusters reboot trailer came out some time ago and anyone with eyes and ears knew it was pretty bad.  And a lot of people said it was pretty bad. In the aftermath, the defense of this pile of garbage fell into two idiotic categories.  A- If you didn’t like… Continue reading

I really don’t need to know who Captain America F*cks

Just when I thought the internet couldn’t become any more banal, idiotic and myoptic…I see a story about some hashtag movement wanting Captain America to become gay. Do you realize it’s an election year? If you are wondering why we have the two tragically flawed candidates that we do…you need… Continue reading

Too much complaining and people to see at St.Paul Comic-con

Civil War…It’s great if you don’t think about.

SPOILER ALERT!  IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN CIVIL WAR YET,  AND DON’T WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS, STOP READING NOW.  ***UPDATED- after seeing the movie a second time…several of my complaints turned out to be me just missing things, since the point of these blogs is first and foremost to… Continue reading

For the sake of that show, Rick needs to be the one who dies.

Rick SHOULD be the one who dies. Now that the sting has worn off the craptastic season finale of TWD, let’s stop , put our writing hats on, and look this thing over. Someone died.  In the comic book it was Glenn, but that don’t mean much since Carol died… Continue reading

never assume/new ARSENIC LULLABY BOOK

The two Wizard World shows were fine.  The people running them were very hospitable.  More on that some other time.  Right now though, because I spent two weekends in a row at comic-cons, I have some plugging to do. The new collection of Arsenic Lullaby is finally in the Previews… Continue reading
