To say Spider-Men 2 is heading nowhere fast after two issues would be a supreme understatement.  This has been one of the most disappointing, hyped books, of the year so far and that's saying something for Marvel’s output of late. Now the art is decent and the writing quality isn't Spectacular Spider-Man level bad, but that's also not saying much.  Anyway let's see if issue three picks up a little bit of steam the series has been lacking, and changes at least my mind going forward, into reconsidering buying the trade version, if things improve.

Batman Day: Top 5 Batman Animated Universe Moments

Sup Weird Science! This is Batman Beyond Mark and today is Batman Day! Batman is one of my favorite Superheroes of all time, and I’m not just talking about my boy Terry McGinnis. I’m talking Bruce Wayne here. Growing up I watch Batman the Animated Series, Justice League and all of the other shows in the old DCAU/Timmverse. When I think of Batman. That’s the Batman I think of. And seeing how today is Batman Day I thought I would share some of my favorite Batman scenes from the old DCAU/Timmverse in the format of a Top 5 List! I did however, set a couple of rules when coming up with this list.

1. All of the moments have to involve and be about the Bruce Wayne, Batman. Terry might a Batman and my favorite character but this day is really about Bruce Wayne.

2. The scenes need to have Batman as the focus. So, you won't be seeing stuff like the ending scene to the episode Baby Doll, since while Batman comforting Baby Doll is a fantastic scene, Baby Doll really steals the show.

This list WILL CONTAIN SPOILERS! If you haven’t watched much from the DCAU/Timmverse *cough* Jim *cough* Please go watch the shows in it! You have been warned!

The Realm #1 Review

Walking Dungeons Dead Dragons

Writer: Seth PeckArtist: Jeremy HaunPublisher: Image ComicsRelease Date: September 13, 2017Cover Price: $3.99

With The Realm we get a book that instantly piques my interest. In what is promised to be a mix of The Walking Dead and Dungeons and Dragons, we have a post-apocalyptic story set in a style of world we don’t get to see too often. Knowing next to nothing about either the book or the creative team I was able to go into this first issue anxious and optimistic. So without further ado let’s jump into the issue.
