Comic of Last Week: Deathmatch #1
Yeah, I know. Most people don’t like my comics posts but tough titties. If there’s a comic out there that I think deserves attention I’m going to post about it and such a comic came out last week. That comic was Deathmatch #1 by Boom Studios. It’s a truly amazing comic. 32 of Earth’s mightiest…

Trench reviews Arrow
***SPOILERS LAY YONDER*** Let me just come right out and say it. This show was awesome. It has the potential to be the best action series since Highlander. Then again I said that after the first episode of Smallville and that show turned out to be the most boring superhero series ever but I digress.…

The Return of The Question?
***NO QUESTION ABOUT IT, THERE ARE SPOILERS*** I know. I haven’t been blogging about comics in a while. There’s a couple of reasons for that.

Trench reviews Superman vs. The Elite

Trench reviews The Strange Case Of… by Halestorm
I’ve been a huge fan of Halestorm since I saw them at the Uproar Festival in 2010. I loved their debut album, I thought it was almost flawless. I bought the ReAnimate EP when it came out and was amazed at how they could take some crappy songs and make them into amazing covers. I…

Comic of the Week: Justice League #7
Not for the main story which shows Steve Trevor as a congressional liaison to the Justice League which I did think was clever. But no, it’s comic of the week because of the picture above, the return of Captain Marvel, or Shazam as he’s now being called. And I didn’t like this issue just because…

DC Comics The New 52: Week 26…I think
I haven’t been doing these posts in the past few weeks because there was really nothing to talk about. However, since this is week 26 that marks the halfway point in the year for The New 52 and I wanted to do sort of a brief state of the union kind of post on The…
