  • Comic Book Recommendation: Murder Falcon

    I typically don’t get emotional over things like movies and TV shows. I can think of twice in my adult life when that actually happened. Now, we can add a third instance, and that was after reading a limited comic series called Murder Falcon. I’m sure you’re asking how I could get choked up over…

  • 2022: The Year in Trench

    This is what used to be the Trenchie Awards. I didn’t do one last year because of depression, and I thought no one cared. Well, someone cared, and they know who they are. TV: I actually didn’t watch any series regularly last year outside of wrestling. So, no winner for 2022. Movies: I only saw…

  • Iced Earth’s Jon Schaffer pleads guilty to Capitol Riot charges

    As some of you may know, I’ve been a big fan of heavy metal band Iced Earth. I was a fan of theirs for over 20 years. I knew the band’s founder Jon Schaffer was a conservative and a conspiracy theorist, but I didn’t let it bother me because his views weren’t reflected in most…

  • Woes continue for Iced Earth’s Jon Schaffer

    Jon Schaffer is the founder and guitarist of heavy metal band Iced Earth. While they may not be a household name like Iron Maiden or Judas Priest, Iced Earth has had a devoted and loyal fan base going back over 20 years. As you may know, Shaffer is in federal custody for not only being…

  • Iced Earth’s Jon Schaffer in federal custody

    In my post about the Capitol riot, I mentioned that I was a fan of the heavy metal band Iced Earth. I brought that up because Iced Earth’s founder and guitarist Jon Schaffer allegedly took part in the riot. Because of his alleged role, Schaffer was being sought by the FBI. As I previously mentioned,…

  • The 2020 Trenchie Awards

    Wow, it was a shit year, wasn’t it? However, even in a year like that some golden kernels of enjoyment could still be had. Here were mine. Best TV Show: I actually didn’t watch a whole lot of TV in 2020. I dropped off watching The Flash. Stargirl couldn’t keep my attention. The only show…

  • Pro wrestler Brodie Lee passes away at age 41

    It’s been a long time since I’ve posted about the passing of a wrestler. Off the top of my head, I think it was either Curt Hennig or Eddie Guererro. That’s how long it’s been. Over the Christmas weekend, 41-year-old Jon Huber passed away from a non-COVID-related lung issue. Huber wrestled in the WWE as…

  • Comic Recommendation: Shazam! #15

    Single issue stories do not get enough love these days. Anymore it seems to be all about the massive world-changing crossovers. That’s why Shazam! #15 was such a breath of fresh air. Without getting into any spoilers, this comic was so fun for me on several levels and it showed many things without being patronizing.…

  • R.I.P. Comic Book Writer Denny O’Neil

    I think I’ve said before that I don’t pay a lot of attention to who’s writing whatever comic book I’m reading at the time. That’s unless the run is so good I make note of who the writer is. One example of that is Mark Waid. Not only for his mid-2010s run on Daredevil but…
