So it’s a week of reboots. This week, I read the first issue of the new Justice League of America, by Geoff Johns and Jim Lee. I read the first issue of the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, co-written by series creator Kevin Eastman. And I read Carte Blanche, the new James Bond novel by Jeffrey Deaver. Each one presents a new start to their respective series, giving new readers “start here”

So, last weekend, we attended the D23 Expo in Disneyland, the bi-annual convention put on by Disney’s official fan club. And I would blog about what a poorly run, disappointing experience it was, except that’s been done better by someone else at the Disney Travel Babble blog here. So I refer you there. Particularly to the pictures of the long lines, because that was our weekend. And we didn’t get

So it’s been a bit longer than I’d like between blog entries. That’s mostly due to some frustrating a/c problems, first with the wife’s car, then mine, and finally, last week, with the house. The expense of getting the car problems fixed has been a stress. Even more so were the house a/c problems. The repair were covered by our home warranty, but since we live in Las Vegas, and it’s July, having

Some time ago, I blogged about how much I love Dave Stevens’ Rocketeer, and how I was looking forward to the then-upcoming IDW Rocketeer Adventures series with a mixture of excitement and sadness. Well, the first issue is out, and I’m going to talk about it today. So, consider this your spoiler warning.As I said, I had bittersweet feelings about this miniseries. Until now, the Rocketeer had

The last couple of weeks, I was starting to feel a little frustrated with comics. Well, DC comics, to be exact. Well, Geoff Johns taking an entire year to bring back Alan Moore’s version of Swamp Thing, to be exact. Well, that, and me ordering the first issue of a Flashpoint miniseries because it was drawn by George Perez, only to find out that George Perez isn’t able to draw all three issues of

First, congratulations on Marineman’s nomination for an Eisner award for Best New Series. Well deserved. If you haven’t read it, and have an iPad or similar device, the first issue is available digitally from Image Comics for free. Seriously, check it out.The other week, I finally, properly read Stumptown, by Greg Rucka and Matthew Southworth (also up for an Eisner). I had read the serialized

At WonderCon in San Francisco, DC Comics announced a series of comics called Retro-Active. The line features three comics each for Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, the Flash, Green Lantern, and the Justice League. The comics pay homage to the way the characters were portrayed in the ‘70s, ‘80s, and ‘90s, done by creators who worked on them in those periods.I’m excited, mostly, because the ‘70s and

Having a busy, frustrating weekend, and I'm not sure I'll be able to carve out the time for the Batman blog that's percolating in my brain. If that shows up later today, you'll know I managed it. If not, here are the reviews I posted on Goodreads and Amazon about books I read last night:The Spider: Burning Lead for the Walking Dead by Mark WheatleyVeteran artist Mark Wheatley writes and draws an

Once again, real life caught up with me last weekend, and I didn’t get time to write a blog entry. And while I’ve got a couple of things I want to write about eventually, I’m feeling a bit of pressure this week as well. Plus, I’m pretty happy with how my previous entry, about the Rocketeer, came out. It’s the sort of thing I really want to do with this blog: talk about things that I love. I don’t

As a kid, I loved the Rocketeer. The creation of the taken-too-soon Dave Stevens, the 1930s hero first appeared in comics a few months after I entered comics fandom myself. Only a relatively few stories appeared over the next decade or so, but I eagerly devoured every one. And when the movie came out in 1991, I was in heaven. Last weekend, a number of things led to me wanting to watch the movie

First, it’s time for this month’s obligatory plug for the new issue of Ian Churchill’s Marineman. As the cover indicates, this is an origin issue, while it explains how the boy named Steve Ocean came to live with the Ocean family, it doesn’t answer all the mysteries. We know how Steve came to our world, and how he can do what he does, but we still don’t know where he came from. We also learn more

I didn’t actually finish reading any graphic novels this week, because literally every book I had on request at the library came in at once. And most of them have people waiting for them, so I’ve been making reading those priority. Incredibly—for me—I managed to get through two books in the past week, and halfway through a third. And, so far, one and a half of those have been a lot of fun.Last

This past week was frustrating. News about the state of the world continues to depress me, work continues to be crazy and frustrating. Even being home isn’t perfect; as I type, some guy is riding his motorcycle up and down the street, revving it up as loud as he can. Must be a Christmas present.So escaping into fiction was pretty essential. Here’s what I read this past week:The Last Run by Greg

So last weekend, we were in Disneyland for the wife’s birthday, so no blog entry. This week, something different from the single-topic essays I’ve been doing. I’ve been trying to get through my backlog of graphic novels, so instead of writing a big entry about each one, I’ll just share some brief(er) thoughts.Before we get into those, though, I want to mention that I read Marineman #2.

I don’t usually read the columns at ComicBookResources.com because, honestly, I find them kind of dull. But comments on other blogs drew my attention to comics writer Jason Aaron’s response to a recent interview with acclaimed creator Alan Moore. In it, Moore explains some of the more recent ways in which DC Comics has approached him about the rights to Watchmen, and the possibility of new comics

Just finished reading the new collection of Legion of Super-Heroes: The Great Darkness Saga, which collects the first issues of Paul Levitz's epic run on the comic (and coincidentally, the first issues I ever read.) Probably gonna blog about it on a more personal level soon, but in the meantime, here's the review I posted at Goodreads and Amazon.com about it:Purely by coincidence, the first

While superheroes are still the primary genre for American comics, they come in a couple different flavors. To my mind, the biggest division is between company-owned (like Superman, Batman, and Spider-Man) and creator-owned (like Invincible, Spawn, and Dynamo 5). While I still enjoy reading the adventures of my childhood favorites, like Superman and Batman, these days, I am increasingly drawn to

As we approach the end of the year, I can confidently say that my favorite graphic novel of 2010 is Return of the Dapper Men by Jim McCann and Janet Lee. It’s a tale of a mysterious world, Anorev, where, one day, time just stopped. There are no adults, and the children all live underground, in a world part cavern and part clockwork. Robots tend the houses and towns of the surface world. A

Been busy the past few weeks, and I have a couple of blog entries in progress that I can't seem to get around to finishing. But this one is very important to me, so it takes priority.As I have previously blogged, my lovely fiancee, Lura, is the pastry chef at Sage, a French-Mediterranean-American fusion-thingy restaurant in Aria, in the new City Center complex on the Strip. A couple of weeks ago,

Sunday night, we had dinner at Union in Aria, before going to see Zumanity. Obviously, my heart will always have a special place for Sage, but if I'm making a list of favorite restaurants that my fiancee doesn't work at, Union would probably be in the top five.It's primarily a steakhouse, but calling it that feels like I'm damning it with faint praise. They do have other, non-grilled items on the

I loved the first two volumes of Dan Hipp's graphic novel series GYAKUSHU! His mostly-silent art told a great sci-fi samurai adventure, and I was really sorry that the third volume was never published.But don't take my word for it! Starting 1/11/10, he will be posting the first two volumes, along with a preview of the third volume, at www.thethiefisdead.blogspot.com. So check them out for

It's a bit late, but here's my report on my second dinner at Sage, last Friday, December 18. I freely admit my bias, but I'm not the only one who had a great dinner there that night. Here's another review from a more objective source.Sage, and ARIA, were a little busier on Friday. I had a little more trouble finding a parking space, although it might not have been quite so hard if only

Happy holidays!Last year has been interesting. At the end of 2008, the Green Valley Library--where I had been Children's Services Department Head--closed, and the entire staff transfered up to the new Centennial Hills Library. This is a brand-new building--the district's first completely green building--and it took us maybe three weeks to move in. I was a little nervous going into that process,

So last week saw the opening (finally) of Sage, the restaurant in new hotel/casino, ARIA where the lovely fiancee is the pastry chef. I had dinner there on Thursday and Friday, and had a great time.I arrived with a big bunch of roses for my love, so it was no secret who I was or why I was there. Everyone was very nice to me, and those who had gotten to know her had all kinds of nice things to say

Suffering from a cold, so this will probably be short.I saw Avatar yesterday, and really enjoyed it. The IMAX 3D version was spectacular; unlike other 3D movies I've seen in the past year or so, the process of watching through the glasses didn't result in a darker image.The film is a phenomenal technical achievement, managing to so thoroughly and believably create an alien world that I quickly

"Christmas ought to be brought up to date, it ought to have gangsters, and aeroplanes and a lot of automatic pistols."For me, this line perfectly sums up The Box of Delights by John Masefield. I have decided that rereading it will be an annual Christmas tradition for me, as well as watching the BBC television adaptation. At least, that's the plan; this is the second year I've read the book, and

Finished reading Midwinter by Matthew Sturges. As I've mentioned already, I came to this book familiar with Sturges' work as a comics writer, but this is his first prose novel. I thought it was great. He sets up an interesting world that's more complex than it initially appears, and populates it with characters who are interesting to spend time with. The story is a fairly straightforward quest

I read the Batman/Doc Savage Special comic this morning, teaming two of my favorite characters. More than anything, it's pretty much a prologue to a new series, First Wave, which sets up a new fictional universe where traditional heroes like Batman and Black Canary are given more of a crime/noir/pulp feel, interacting with actual pulp characters like Doc Savage and the Avenger. The series will

At the end of last Friday's episode of Smallville, they showed a teaser for the upcoming two-hour episode featuring the Justice Society of America.I'm excited. I had read that the episode (written by comics writer Geoff Johns) would be featuring Hawkman, Dr Fate, and the Star-Spangled Kid, but from these clips, it looks like we'll be catching at least glimpses of a couple of other characters. And

We've been traveling a lot this month, first to North Carolina (as mentioned in my wedding planning blog), then a couple of trips to California. So I haven't been able to post as often as I'd like. Once Lura starts work again next week, I'll have more time on my hands needing filling, which means more regular blogging.So in the time since my last post, I've read a couple of books. The first,

The other day, I finished reading The Shadow Dragons by James A. Owen. It's the latest in his series, Chronicles of the Imaginarium Geographica, which I love, despite the somwhat unwieldy series title. The series focuses on the caretakers of the Imaginarium Geographica, a book which contains maps to all the lands of fantasy and literature and myth which once existed side by side with our world,

So I watched the premiere of V Tuesday night, and I have mixed feelings. As a huge fan of the original series, I was kinda let down. In the original, we see the Visitors arrive, tell us that they are here to be our friends and to help us, and then see them doing just that. We gradually get hints that things aren't quite as simple as they seem, with reports of people disappearing mysteriously, and

Getting away from the whining about human nature in my previous post, here's what I'm watching on TV on Tuesdays:On CBS, I watch NCIS. While the cool kids probably don't consider it hip and edgy, I've been a fan since the very beginning. (And when I say "very beginning," I mean I saw the characters in their very first appearance in a two-part episode of JAG, another favorite series.) I like the

Sunday before last, my car got hit from behind while stopped at a stoplight. By a guy in a big pickup truck on his cell phone. With his kids in the car.As of today, his insurance company still hasn't gotten a hold of him. So I'm in limbo until that happens. And, before anyone asks, I was stupid and didn't call the police when the accident happens. I figured nobody seemed to be injured, our

As part of my (once again) renewed committment to try to post a blog entry every week, I'm going to go through the TV shows that I'm watching. Rather than try to say it all in one huge, boring post that becomes a struggle to finish, I'm going to break it down and write about one day each week.On Mondays, I watch The Big Bang Theory on CBS. I can best sum up its appeal for me when I tell you that

The last book I finished reading was And Another Thing by Eoin Colfer.As a kid, I loved the works of Douglas Adams, and that probably had more of an influence on my sense of humor than anything (except maybe my Dad). Loved the books, the TV series, the radio series... I even got to go hear him speak once (with my Dad) at the University of California, Berkeley. He may have been the first one of my

So the big comics news of the day is the restructuring of DC Comics, with Paul Levitz (who I once met, and is a really nice guy) stepping down as publisher.For me, though, that's all business stuff. Another story, bigger for me, because it's more personal, involves Adventure Comics. A couple of weeks ago, I blogged about how much I loved the first issue. I haven't even received the second issue

Here is a confession that will surprise absolutely nobody who knows me: I love old pulp fiction. Particularly the adventures of the Shadow and Doc Savage, currently being reprinted in very nice editions by Anthony Tollin's Sanctum Press. Obviously, I only know the books from reprints, and I haven't read too many of those.A lot of what passes for "new pulp fiction" comes across to me as

Yesterday, I raved about how Adventure Comics lived up to my lofty expectations. Unfortunately, that's not always the case.Last week, I read The Strain by Guillermo Del Toro and Chuck Hogan. I'm a fan of Del Toro's films, and Chuck Hogan has apparently won awards for his mystery writing. (I thought I had read good reviews of his novels, as well as comics by him, but I was confusing him with

I have a confession: Several years after lambasting Geoff Johns for his comic, Green Lantern: Rebirth, Green Lantern has become one of my favorite superhero comics. It's got just the right mixture of Hill Street Blues, Star Wars, and superheroics. Instead of an endless string of battles against supervillains, one after another, Johns' Green Lantern is pretty much just one big story, which has

So I haven't seen Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince yet (but I want to), nor have I seen GI Joe yet (although that's not necessarily a must-see). However, we did go to see Julie & Julia yesterday. Not a particularly explodey movie, but probably more relevant to our lives than the other two.It's based on a book by Julie Powell, detailing a year she spent cooking every recipe out of Julia

But I did think it was great, and wallpaper of Donna-in-parka now decorates my computer desktop and my phone.Finished Starcross on Friday, and read A Diet of Treacle by Lawrence Block yesterday. Like most Hard Case Crime books, it only took a couple of

Not really feeling too much like writing right now. Need breakfast. But, really quickly:Finished the NASCAR romance Tuesday night. Forbidden Attraction, it was called. I continue to be curious about the background mysteries these books are setting up, and I'm enjoying the books okay, so I'll be reading the next one. (Truth & Consequences?)I am about a hundred pages into Starcross, Philip Reeve's

According to plan, I finished Three Shirt Deal today. I really liked it, but I see it's getting some negative reviews on Amazon.com, including one from Publishers Weekly. If I'm honest, I suppose none of the Shane Scully books have been as good as the first one, but I didn't really have any problems with this one. Maybe I was all caught up in the story of Shane and Alexa trying to reconnect,

So, I still haven't watched Saturday's episode of Spectacular Spider-Man or Friday's episode of Sarah Jane Adventures (although I've seen that multiple times already since it's original UK broadcast). And my stupid recording of Saturday's stupid NASCAR stupid race cut off about 17 laps before the end, so I didn't see who won. (Found out later it was Jimmy Johnson, but it's not the same.)TV I did

Okay, literally just finished this week's new episode of Doctor Who. New in the UK, that is; coming to SciFi in about three weeks or so.Last year, the second episode of the season, The Shakespeare Code , was a lavish, lively, historical adventure that quickly became one of my favorite stories. This year, the second episode of the season, The Fires of Pompeii, is a lavish, lively, historical

Just some quick thoughts about Thursday's TV:My Name is Earl: Almost didn't watch it, to be honest. I'm glad I did; it ended up making me laugh. But I think there's only so much humor that can be milked from having your main character in a coma. (Again, Dad's hospitalization may be having an effect on how I'm viewing this storyline.)30 Rock: I find I have nothing to say about this episode. I like

So I finished Den of Thieves Monday afternoon. Totally wrong about what I thought was a setup for the next book. Shows what I know. There are already two more books out in the series, so I've ordered the next one.Monday night, I started reading the 14th book in the new series of Shadow pulp reprints, collecting The Grove of Doom and The Masked Lady. I've been a fan of the Shadow since I was a kid

I write an awful lot on this blog about television. Partly, it's because I do watch an awful lot of television, unashamedly. It's also partly because it's easy. I don't like to talk a lot about personal stuff here, because it's private. I also don't have a lot of personal stuff to talk about. But every night, I usually see something new on TV, and that gives me something new to talk about here,

Okay, so I just finished watching Partners in Crime, the first episode of the fourth series of Doctor Who. And I loved it.As I have alluded to in recent posts, things have not been all happiness and light in the Penelopecat household. There have been ups (managed to pull off a huge program at work, a comics convention, that attracted a thousand people, plus I got promoted) but they seem so tiny

According to E! Online, it's doing well, and stands a good chance of surviving, which is great. It does push the charm and whimsy-o-meter right up to the line, but not quite to the breaking point.
