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 importantly and impressively, with Wakanda itself.Conan #16One of those mythical "jumping on" issues; and one that will make you want to catch up on what you've missed because it's that damn good!

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 bat of the season was spoiled by one of the more ridiculous attempts at leveling the playing field I've ever come across. It wasn't more than a split second as the electric feeling traveled from my hands through my arms and up to my brain only…

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 while back, it gets out of hand. Like more than 1000 spam emails/week kind of "out of hand." Lord only knows how much is in there right now and whenever I get around to checking it again, I'm just going to delete the whole shebang.If…

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 couple of years.Now that we're satisfied with the diagnosis, we're trying to figure out what our options are w/r/t to therapy and schooling, etc. We're still processing it ourselves, but since it's the reason we killed our house search and are staying put for another…

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. At the end of the preview my first thought was, "WOW!" My second thought was, "Hopefully I won't die before June 15th." It sounds ridiculous, but it's true. That's what I thought.Then I said another "WOW! "It looks like Chris Nolan will have another quality movie under his belt with Batman Begins. If you haven't seen his last two films, do so. Memento is great, and Insomnia is solid.The cinematography…

Softball, Comics and Vacations

1) Tomorrow night is our first softball game, over at the Coleman Oval Playground, near the Manhattan Bridge. (F train to East Broadway) Starts @ 7:15pm. Come out and cheer me on if you're in the neighborhood. (And bring some beer!) I'll be wearing #2, but don't dare call me Derek Jeter! Since no Met player wears #2 - oddly, less than one-third of the major league teams have a player wearing it - I've decided I'll be representing Alex Sanchez of the Tampa Devil Rays, the knucklehead who had the honor of being the first major leaguer snagged under…
