Black Panther #4Hudlin said from the beginning that “by the end of the second arc, the character will never be seen the same way again.” Love it or hate it, it’s safe to say he’s already accomplished that goal two-thirds of the way into his first arc, not just with the Panther but, perhaps more
Take THAT, Jeter…
When is a three-run home run for the lead not a three-run home run for the lead? When a guy hits one in our corporate softball league. I haven’t hit a home run since before I got my first driver’s permit more than 20 years ago, so it was rather annoying when my first at

If you’ve written me there in the past three or four weeks – possibly even a bit longer – I haven’t received it because I haven’t checked the account in at least that long. It gets tons of spam and once I let more than 2-3 days pass without checking it, as I did a
Long Story Short
The past couple of months India’s been through several evaluations as we tried to figure out the reason(s) for her speech delay. Behavorial, psychiatric, hearing, second opinions — the works. All of that has resulted in a diagnosis of mild autism. Mild enough, apparently, that with therapy, she should be back “on track” within a
Review: Batman Begins’ Smallville Preview
WOW should begin and end every sentence when speaking about Batman Begins. Last night, America was treated to a 10-minute preview of the future blockbuster, courtesy of the WB Network.

100 Girls: The First Girl, Vol. 1 (TPB)Imagine 100 Girls is kind of what Marvel’s X-23 might have been if it were more about the character and less about the editorially dictated metaplot… BONUS: Interview: Girl Talk With Adam Gallardo Araña #4Almost a year after she was first introduced with much mainstream fanfare, Marvel’s heralded
Company Man
I’ve signed up for my company’s co-ed softball team. I was on the reserve list and got the word yesterday afternoon that I was next on the list to move up to the main roster. Too late to attend last night’s scrimmage, though, so I have no idea what position I’ll be playing – preferably

Tell me what you think about your sit-u-a-tionComplication – aggravationIs getting to you Back in 1995, I attended AA meetings for 89 days, partly because I thought I had a drinking problem, but mostly to get closer to a girl I was interested in. Approx. 50 days in, I found myself in a bar with
