Smallville: Justice League Preview
I haven’t watched Smallville in a long while, but I’ve caught many of the previews over the past couple of seasons and haven’t liked where they’ve seemingly taken Lana Lang’s character, hooking her up with Lex in a rather icky pairing. Nevertheless, I’ll be catching this particular episode whenever it airs as Clark calls up
Review: Viper All-Ages
A Bit Haywireby Scott Zirkel & Courtney Huddleston (Viper Comics, 2006; $11.95) I’m a big fan of good all-ages entertainment, and whenever something really good pops up on the comics scene, I’m especially psyched because it means I have something new I can comfortably share with my 6-year old son who’s becoming an avid reader.
Creator Directory is Up
Instead of writing any reviews today, I decided to finally get one of the “resource” aspects of the site up and running, focusing on the Creator Directory, which is now available. It’s a somewhat selective list, a mix of well-known and upcoming creators whose work I’ve enjoyed in the past and who have a legitimate
CBC Quickees: Big Two Roundup
I’m so far behind on reviews these days that in order to jumpstart my critical faculties, I’ve grabbed a stack of comics from my most-recently read pile and, focusing on some of the floppies I’m still reading from the Big Two, am giving random ones the super-quickee treatment. Criminal #1-2 (Icon/Marvel, $2.99), Captain America #3
What if Civil War #5 was good?
It might read a little something like this: Check out Tetsubo Productions – Wherein I Show Why I Shouldn’t Be Allowed To Use Photoshop for the hilarious remix of the entire issue. I dropped Civil War after the incredibly lame fourth issue, unable to stomach any more of Mark Millar’s weak attempts at plotting and

The Prestige, Comics, Life, etc.
** No, I haven’t seen Heroes yet, though not for lack of interest. Probably end up getting the Season One DVD and watching it when I retire, along with the many other movies and TV shows I’ve missed over the past couple of years. I did see The Prestige, though, and loved it. (Bought the
Stay Tuned…
Make Yours Here. So, yeah, Dan and Omar really came through with the content during my break, huh? Dorks! Life at Casa de Gonzalez will hopefully be settling down over the next month or so — both the Mrs. and I are in the midst of long-overdue career changes; plus, both kids are heading back

REVIEW: Uncle Sam and The Freedom Fighters #1
A city devastated by metahumans. Political intrigue and post-9/11 fear-mongering. Heroes pitted against the government and each other, forced to choose between wildly uneven sides. Marvel’s Civil War? No, actually, it’s DC’s Uncle Sam and the Freedom Fighters #1, “from the pages of Brave New World” and spinning out of the events of the Battle
