Happy New Year! the 2026 edition
2026 begins today, and looking back, the top post here had some staying power, since it was 2019’s Rewatch: Stargate Atlantis. Here are some of my favorites from last year. I hope you enjoy them too: This year, consider sharing your voice and experiences with the world. If you don’t have a place to write…

Happy New Year! the 2025 edition
Another year begins, and looking back, I had a few fun milestones in 2024. I reached 20 years of contributing to WordPress (which was also my top post last year), and I’m hoping for 20 more. This blog has also been around for over 20 years now … I probably should have made a post…

Ascender
There has to be more than this. There just has to be. Why couldn’t I have been born when we still had spaceships and shiftdrives? Why couldn’t I have been born before the Harvesters took it all away? Ascender is a beautiful series from writer Jeff Lemire and artist Dustin Nguyen. A sequel to their…

Batman v Superman: Accidentally Perfect?
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is not the greatest superhero film, that honor still belongs to Logan, but through a series of odd choices and behind the scenes happenstance, it became the perfect comic book film. Now I know a lot of you probably hated this film, so please bear with me while I…

When Disney removed decades of Star Wars Expanded Universe content from canon, fan-favorite Grand Admiral Thrawn was on of the few characters who managed to stay onboard. He is the only non-human officer…

Klaus
Only one man has to work at Yuletime, and that’s me. There are gifts waiting for your children. Tell them the Santa wears the red and white of Grimsvig. White for the snow of our homeland, red for the blood of the working people who built this town. Your colors. Klaus is a surprisingly good…

Descender
I’m your creator and designer, but that does not make me your family. You have no real family. You aren’t alive. You do understand that, don’t you? Descender is a beautiful series from writer Jeff Lemire and artist Dustin Nguyen, and in many ways, a coming of age tale both for our young protagonist and…

Secret War
You are heroes. More than me. Maybe one day you’ll look around and you’ll see the world like I have to, and you’ll know I did the right thing. Or at least you’ll understand why I did it. Secret War, a masterpiece by writer Brian Michael Bendis and artist Gabriele Dell’Otto, is the best graphic…
