The family aspect of DC’s Superman is more prominent than ever thanks to “Rebirth” and the success of Super Sons, and it was almost going to be the premise of a Warner Bros. animated series. Long-time animation artist/director Vinton Heuck has shared artwork from Superman Family, an animated series he was pitching to Warner Bros. Animation. Heuck, who recently worked on Young Justice and is now working on DC Universe’s Harley Quinn, wanted to bring the Kent family to cartoons with a heaping helping of “crazy Silver Age stories” inspired by comic books of the past. Inside the SUPERMAN FAMILY Animated Series That Almost Was On the oneRead More →

Because honestly, I did not know this. Or if I ever did at any point it was buried so far back into my subconscious that it was lost in a memory black hole. But he was related. In the original radio broadcast he was the grandson/grand-nephew of The Lone Ranger because that broadcast was a spin-off of The Lone Ranger radio show. And then that little tidbit got lost when it went into TV because of ownership issues. Does it crop up every once in a while? I don’t know. I haven’t seen the recent movies. Any comments on that? I did some digging. NotRead More →

I recently ran across a new to me website that I’ve fallen in love with – The Silver Petticoat Review: Romance in Entertainment. What I love about it is that it feeds my “and I want some romance in what I watch” craving with regards to video fare. To be perfectly honest I usually don’t seek out stuff on TV and in the movies for romance. If it’s called a romance, half the time I’ll be leery of it in the first place. But I like to know what’s out there at the same time.Read More →

Eighty years after Superman arrived on Earth, Bruce Wayne first donned his cowl and Steve Rogers transformed into Captain America, the boundless imagination once confined to the pages of popular comic books has become a bottomless well of inspiration to real-life military researchers around the world.The cutting-edge science and otherworldly gadgets that have been integral to the rise of iconic American superheroes — and helped fuel their unprecedented success at the box office and fan conventions over the past two decades — can no longer be considered purely science fiction, insiders and analysts say. Iron Man-inspired, jetpack-powered exoskeleton wows military leadersRead More →

Have you ever reread a book that you enjoyed and wondering why you don’t remember half of it? I’m rereading Hot and Badgered before diving into In A Badger Way and seriously wondering if I was asleep when I read it the first time because there are huge chunks of it that I honestly don’t remember. And yet I remember the broad outline of what happens.  So I know I read it…. didn’t I?Read More →

In A Badger Way by Shelly Laurenston came out today and I bought it on ebook the second I woke up. I only realized yesterday the hero was Shen Li, the panda shifter from Bite Me. I think my brain just exploded. I honestly never thought she’d give Shen his own book. Also, this definitely means I get more Vic for sure & possibly Livy from my top favorite in the Pride series, Bite Me. Double yah! Now back to reading. Read More →

In our spare time lately, my daughter and I have been tag-teaming each other replaying this game. Well I think I’m replaying it and she may be playing most of it for the first time. One of us will play and the other will navigate using the walk-through and then we’ll switch up playing and navigating. The strange thing is I don’t remember liking this game all that much when I played it the first time. But I’m really enjoying it this time. Weird. Or maybe it’s just the company.  🙂Read More →

For the last week or so I’ve been rereading one of my all-time favorite romance series – Shelly Laurenston’s Pride shifter series. I’m currently on the last and my favorite Bite Me with Vic and Livy. Yum.  One of the reasons I like her writing and that series in particular is that it makes me laugh. Which for me is comfort food. And after the month I’ve had with one illness after another that’s the antidote I needed. Other readers may want to cry. I want to laugh my head off. Now I will admit that her characters and her humor aren’t going to be for everyone.Read More →

I wanted to do a quick update to let everyone know I’m still here. I’ve been fighting off bronchitis since the New Year. The doctor put me on antibiotics last week and I’m finally getting back to being able to focus. Put it this way, yesterday I started rereading an old favorite romance series. So I should be able to start working on the site this week. Not sure when I’ll post anything but will definitely be working on putting stuff together this week.Read More →

This is a busy holiday week with not very much time to post so just a quick one to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving with some scrumptious food pictures.   When you picture traditional Thanksgiving foods, you probably think of turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, and yams. But since America is a melting pot, it only makes sense that multicultural traditions have made their way onto the Thanksgiving table in different regions around the United States. What Thanksgiving dinner looks like in 16 regions across the country But how come I live in Kentucky and don’t remembe ever having this next one? Read More →

I’ve always preferred DC Comics but there is no denying that Stan Lee was a comic book creative genius his entire career. He will be missed by all comic book fans.  Around 10 minutes long but still an enjoyable watch:  And finally for more information about his life and death:  Stan Lee, the comic book mastermind who changed the landscape of the superhero genre by creating countless beloved characters, has died at age 95. An attorney for Lee’s daughter, J.C. Lee, said the creative dynamo who revolutionized the comic world by introducing human frailties in superheroes such as Spider-Man, The Fantastic Four and The IncredibleRead More →

I mean, really bad ones.  First a side note. I browse a lot of old book covers, aka pulp fiction, doing research. A lot. And the one thing that always amazes me is just how bad a rap romance has always gotten with regard to the covers in the genre. I guess the thing that gets me the most is that while there may be some bad covers in the romance genre, they ain’t got nothing on the really old covers from other genres. All popular genre have their problems but, for me, mysteries and science fiction have produced some doozies of covers over theRead More →
