It was just a few weeks ago that Wizards of the Coast announced their decision to immediately discontinue their distribution of DnD via PDF. Which, you know, screwed over a whole lot of people who have paid for multiple downloads of WOTC content. The publisher cited digital piracy as the reason for its decision. Immediately, […]
Woopty-doo, the Flash is back! And this time? He’s a dick. The Silver-Age Flash, Barry Allen, died spectacularly way back in 1986 within the pages of Crisis on the Infinite Earths. For the longest time, this death seemed to be the one death beyond Bucky’s that was actually permanent in comics. Well Bucky’s back over […]
When I picked up the much anticipated return of long-time deceased speedster Barry Allen in Flash Rebirth #1, I winced at the $3.99 cover price. It’s a hefty book, though. Thinking I was at least going to get my money’s worth, I picked it up. From cover to cover, there are 40 pages within the […]
Earlier this week, Twitter was – well – all a-twitter about the death of Dave Arneson, co-creator of Dungeons and Dragons. He was dead. He wasn’t dead. Oh way, he’s dead.

Sure, I […]
On tonight’s live episode of the Podge Cast, the hosts will be battling over which movie in our vast history of cinema is the best movie sequel of all time. I can think of a lot of really good sequels. Empire Strikes Back, for instance, is a superior film to A New Hope. For me […]
I love fortune cookies. The simplicity of the crunchy sweetness surrendering the paper prize inside? Love it! It’s that little slip of paper that I take issue with. It’s a fortune cookie, so one would expect to be provided with a fortune. No such luck tonight. After finishing off my plate of Pei Wei goodness, […]
When I was just a wee fanboy, Sunday was comic book day. It wasn’t the day new comics came out. Rather, it was the day I went to the comic shop. My parents were divorced. I lived with Mom, staying with Dad every other weekend. No matter where I was, though, Sunday was comic book […]
When thinking about King Tut, the image to the left often comes to mind. It is the death mask of 18th Dynasty Egyptian pharaoh Tutankhamun. It is the quintessential artifact of ancient Egypt. It is the piece that captured the imagination of westerners when the exhibit first toured the US more than thirty years ago. […]
