I write (debatable), I act (dinner theater), and I like comic books

I picked up an issue of The Heckler for a dollar, and I think this John Doe guy might be one of my all-time favorite gimmick villains now

Fortunately, I never had that problem

...because I learned the word from this guy saying his name every time he used the Pulverizing Pinball

On Saturday, my theater troupe had our first (of 11) performance of the first show I've written for us! It went really well!

This is gonna sound like a joke, but it's an opinion I have genuinely held since childhood:

World Tournament Announcer is my favorite character in the entire Dragon Ball franchise

It's honestly jarring how much modern interpretations of the Phantom of the Opera minimize the actual ugliness of the character, despite treating him narratively like he still looks like the Lon Sr version

I watched the 2004 version a few weeks ago and couldn't stop thinking that he was too pretty

Captain America no.695 is easily one of my favorite individual comic issues of all time. It perfectly distills who Steve Rogers is and what he stands for, which was very important at the time because it was immediately after Secret Empire.

As he says: "The strong protect the weak. That's the rule."

Fun fact: the phrase "tall, dark, and handsome" originally referred specifically to Italian actor Rudolph Valentino, a man considered so handsome in his day that the title of one of his movies ("Sheik") became slang for "handsome"

I picked up the first issue of the new Invisible Man comic and holy COW it's good

Speaking as a big fan of the Universal monsters (and the Invisible Man in particular), I am really REALLY glad I picked this up

I wouldn't call myself a fan of hers, but it does always make my eye twitch when people forget about the original Batgirl.

Flamebird is just as much a Batgirl as Oracle, Black Bat, and Spoiler are
