Last Thursday night a number of Ground Zero customers gathered at the local theater for an advance screening of The Dark Knight Rises. My expectations were somewhat low as I am one of the few people who didn’t care for the second film in the series, The Dark Knight. I was pleasantly surprised. I thought […]

Add to that formula the idea that it was a young boy transforming into all these colorful characters, and you had a surefire hit amongst the kids of the time, despite being a bit […]
Not what you were expecting. When Earth 2 was first announced, along with the creative team of James Robinson and Nicola Scott, there wasn’t much speculation. Everyone knew – knew – that this was going to be the new JSA book, since there wasn’t one in the initial run of New 52 books. However, then […]

Yet a second shot is exactly what the new Valiant Comics is trying to ignite with their relaunched universe. After 16 years of slumber (only […]
