Tomorrow Comes
Tomorrow Comes by Donna Mebane In the afterward to this novel, Donna Mebane writes, I’m not a theologian or a psychologist or a philosopher. I’m not even a writer. I’m just a mom who loves my kids and assumed, like every mom does, that they’d be a part of my life for all my life. […]

A Interactive and Tangled Commonplace Book
Daily Zen Doodles: 365 Tangle Creations for Inspiration, Relaxation, and Mindfulness by Meera Lee Patel This is a commonplace book with a twist. Or maybe it’s a sketch book with quotations.

How to Use a Reward System in the Classroom
I have never been a fan of using rewards systems in the classroom. I’ve tried them out but have found that they are just simply too much work.

Spider-Woman: Origin
Spider-Woman: Origin I came into this story knowing nothing about this character. I had heard her name before and even seen her in some of The Avenger books I have read, but I didn’t have a grasp on who she was prior to picking up this book. Brian Michael Bendis is one of my all-time […]

Daredevil – One Shots
This one-off story was originally published in Italy and has never been presented to North American audiences until now. The villain in this one is Death Stalker, who first appeared in Frank Miller’s legendary run on the Daredevil title. The story was translated into English for this edition but it seems to work just fine. […]

Superior Spider-Man Teams Up with Villains and Heroes
Superior Spider-Man Team Up: Volume 1 – Versus No one in the Marvel Universe realizes that Doc Ock has taken over Peter Parker’s life. Not even when he battles them all. There are some pretty good fights here and an interesting way to kick off the new on-going team-up series. It looks like, perhaps, Doc […]
