Perhaps that’s why, when confronted with the version of Jonathan Kent from Man of Steel, I didn’t see any issue with him - and, quite frankly, I still don’t. I mean, my understanding of Jonathan Kent is that he loved his son Clark and wanted nothing but the best for him. And, quite frankly, I don’t see much of a departure in that sense. I think the difference here is the fact that cartoons like the ones I mentioned depict the love he has for his son in a way that’s easily accessible to children - which, makes sense, they are kids shows. That’s not to say adults can’t enjoy them - I literally just watched The Last Son of Krypton on HBO Max the other day.

Man of Steel begins with the birth of Kal-El. From there we see Jor-El confer with the Council of Krypton regarding the current state of Krypton and how it has weeks before its destruction. During this meeting General Zod appears and announces that he intends on disbanding the Council due to their having done nothing about the current crisis affecting Krypton. He asks Jor-El to help, to which he denies. General Zod has him taken into custody, but he quickly escapes and retrieves the Codex. Jor-El then takes the Codex back home and infuses it into Kal-El’s body before sending him to Earth. In addition to the Codex, Jor-El also creates a sort of Flash Drive that stores a copy of his personality.

Robbie Reyes was on the verge on the death. Past tense. Now, he was on the verge of… something else. To any onlookers, it would look like another life. As though he had made some sort of miraculous recovery. As though he cheated death.

But that’s not how Death works. Death cannot be cheated. But, he can be bargained with. And that’s exactly what Robbie had done. He made a deal with Death – a deal with the Devil – that had given him a second chance; a chance to save the woman he loved. And he wasn’t going to squander it. He would save her. But, once that task had been completed… what terror would lie in wait for him as the Devil’s Spirit of Vengeance?

While Batman/Superman #1 gives its biggest surprise away via its preview, it does little to take away from the fact that Joshua Williamson has taken Scott Snyder’s version of Batman and Gotham and built upon it in a genuinely interesting way. It has been over three years since there has been a comic that saw our titular heroes team up on their own, and the first issue definitely has me excited to see where things will go as we dive deeper into discovering the identities of the Secret Six – as well as how the two will ultimately defeat them.

The second issue of Batman: Curse of the White Knight begins by taking us back to the seventeenth century, wherein we see Edmond Wayne taken by the local authorities for breaking into Wayne Manor. We find out that the Wayne’s have apparently all died from the Plague, meaning that Edmond is the last heir to the Wayne legacy – though, he doesn’t tell this to the authorities. While he rides in the back of the carriage, his guard reveals that he knows who Edmond is, and then, the two make a bloody escape towards the port – hopping aboard a vessel and making their way towards Gotham Valley.

This third issue of Silver Surfer: Black, just like those the two that proceeded it, begins in the past. Or, really, the future. (Time travel is funny that way.) The issue begins with a panel of the void, which is then followed by a panel of an objectively beautiful woman who is calling out to Norrin. The next panel transitions back to the darkness, followed by a panel that intermixes the woman with the darkness of the void. I like this because it illustrates the fact that, to Norrin, this woman is able to cut through the darkness of the void.

An Ode to my favorite video game of all time.

A review and analysis of Episode 02 of Death Note!

A review and analysis of Episode 01 of Death Note!

Forty one years ago, when Planet Vegeta was still teeming with life, there were born three extraordinary Saiyan children; one was labeled a low-class warrior, another was bred to be a Prince, and the last was exiled to the farthest reaches of the universe. While unbeknownst to any of them at the time, destiny would eventually force them to cross paths and engage in a conflict so intense it would literally shake our world. While the story of the first two children, Goku and Vegeta, has been well documented over the last three decades - its the third child, Broly, who’s story is brought to the forefront in the latest “Dragon Ball” film. With a power that rivals even that of a Super Saiyan God, can Goku and Vegeta withstand the overwhelming power of the exiled Super Saiyan, Broly?

MechaGodzilla City has been destroyed; and with it, humanity’s final chance of killing the unstoppable Godzilla.. or is it? With Captain Haruro’s focus split between the loss of his closest friend and his likely court martial for his actions against the Bilusaludo, the Exif Priest, Metphies, has used the chaos as a catalyst to induct a considerable amount of crew members into his religious cult. With his true machinations exposed, and the majority of crew members - both on the ground and on the Aratrum - won over, the Exif bring forth the power of the other-worldly monster, Ghidorah. Does the Exif God have the necessary mettle to take down Godzilla - and, if it does, will the Earth be the creature’s next target? 

With most of their crew decimated by the overwhelming power of Godzilla, Captain Haruro Sakaki and the remaining Aratrum crew members must regroup and decide their next course of action. Luckily for them, they stumble across the research facility that once housed MechaGodzilla, a technological creature constructed by the Bilusaludo to combat Godzilla. Due to the nature of the “nano-metal” of which MechaGodzilla was constructed of, the facility has not only remained intact but has also grown to the size of a large metropolis, with MechaGodzilla’s AI running the entire system. The Aratrum crew quickly seizes control of “MechaGodzilla City” and attempt to use its resources to defeat the real Godzilla. Will the power of MechaGodzilla be enough to stop the real thing?

Ichigo Kurosaki is just a normal teenager. He goes to school, hangs out with his friends, and spends time with his father and two younger sisters. Oh, and he can see spirits.
