The Coming of the Supermen #1
I just finished reading the first issue of The Coming of the Supermen the newest DC Comic series by veteran artist/storyteller Neal Adams, and I hate to say this, but this series feels very similar to Batman Odyssey. If you never read Batman Odyssey here is just one of the many gems you missed: Yeah, you’re seeing that […]
Best Coffee of Naples, Florida
Situated on the Gulf Coast of Florida, the town of Naples has developed such a strong reputation for its stellar coffee options that it is becoming known as “the Seattle of the South.” Well, that’s not actually true. I mean … it could be true. That’s what I call it. To be honest, I never […]
Dreaming Eagles #1 & #2
Dreaming Eagles is the newest comic creation of writer Garth Ennis (Preacher, The Boys, Punisher) and one of the first comics to be published by the newly formed comic book publisher Aftershock. I have read some of Ennis’ prior works and have enjoyed them so I decided to give his newest book about the Tuskegee […]

Piper’s Pub
My wife’s uncle who we lovingly refer to as Big John is a full-blown, ivory bagpipe playing, “futbol” watching, Scotsman. He just recently got his citizenship and loves all things American, but from time-to-time, he misses his homeland. He has highly recommended Piper’s Pub on several occasions because the atmosphere and the food reminds him of home. I’ve never […]
Are Marvel & DC Becoming Comic Book Side Dishes?
Within the last year or so a lot of food analogies have been used to describe what’s going on in the comic book world. Pizzas smashing together was the analogy used to explain Marvel’s 2015 summer event called Secret Wars. DC’s new direction for 2016 is being described as a meat and potatoes approach to […]
Hardcore Henry
Ladies and gentleman, let me introduce you to Hardcore Henry a movie that was filmed 100% from the first-person perspective. This film looks like a first-person shooter video game come to life. It even has that classic video game storyline that dates back to Super Mario Bros. – bad guy captures your girl, good guy has to […]
