Reaction Chamber

Dark Knight: morality

Okay, I stayed up past my bedtime and snuck out on opening night to see the new Batman flick, but hey, it’s Batman!  So why is it taking me this long to post an analysis?  Can we say catastrophic system failure?  Anyway, I’m back online and have a host of things waiting in the wings.  Enjoy this spoiler-free review of the Dark Knight, followed by a promo for Stan Prolongo, Private Detective.

Holy Jim Starlin, Batman

Sorry, the show is a bit late. Okay, two weeks late. But it’s worth it! I put some extra effort into this one, and I can only hope it pays off for you. It’s an all comic book show this week, topics include:

  • Free Comic Book Day
  • Spotlight on Jim Starlin
  • Rann-Thanagar Holy War

Plus a generous helping of links to navigate through the stuff I talk about, some updates on where I’m going with the website, and a promo for Ray Gun Radio. Fire up your reaction chamber and let’s get to it!

End of the World

It’s the end of the world as you know it. Do you feel fine? This time around I’m joined by Dave Avila and Taylor Kent as we review Will Smith’s “I Am Legend”. My little people reflect with me on a miniature apocalypse we had over Easter weekend, and I say a few kind words about Taylor Kent’s techno album. So fire up your reaction chamber and jump in with us!

Post-Modern Monsters

How many Faustian pact shows does it take to make a series? This time around I’m joined by Drew Rub as we review the new movie “Cloverfield”, I rethink my take on JMS recent Spider-Man story, and we discuss current developments and post-modernism on the CW’s “Supernatural”. So fire up your reaction chamber and jump in with us!

This episode premiers a loose version of the new format. I conclude my remarks on the current issues of the Amazing Spider-Man, shout out an update on the Snarky Avenger, review a new board game from Flying Frog, and close things out with a bite sized OTR. On with the show!

Faustian Pacts

It being the Christmas season, our thoughts naturally turn to making deals with the devil….. So anyway, sorry for the delay, but I hope this little diatribe was worth the wait. This go-round I sound off about current issues of Spider-Man, Faustian pacts in literature, and treatment of the devil in current comics continuity.
