Batman Year One and a Fables Spin-Off
Batman: Year One by Frank Miller, David Mazzucchelli, and Richmond Lewis This is a retelling of Batman’s origin story. It was originally published in 1986, shortly after Frank Miller told the final Batman story in The Dark Knight Returns. That book is an undisputed classic. This one seems like it is chasing that but can never…

Homemade TARDIS Build – Part 3
I’ve been building a TARDIS in my spare time. The first step was building the frame. Then I added some detail. I used corrugated plastic for the walls. It’s a lightweight material so the completed model will be somewhat portable. I then added wood trim to create the panel effect. The next step was creating the…

Still Collecting Daredevil Toys
Daredevil is my favourite superhero and I’ve managed to build up a pretty nice collection of merchandise. Here are my latest additions to the collection. It’s hard to see the newest piece here.

Saved Again
How many times have we be saved from complete annihilation and never even realized it? I didn’t believe for even a second that there would be an apocalypse today. Just because one calendar came to an end, didn’t mean that the world would. But perhaps we came close. Maybe The Doctor saved us once again.…

Tallest Silver Brings Comics to Life
Tallest Silver continues to impress me with her super-cool cosplay. I love how she recreated this splash page from Spiderman. What an awesome Mary Jane Watson torn straight from the comic!

Comic Strip Newsletters
I went to a workshop last week and a fellow teacher told me that she does her newsletters in a comic strip format. I thought it was a great idea for several reasons. It’s Visual! Large blocks of text often get ignored in this fast paced world. A comic strip is something that can be…

More Daredevil Swag
Here’s my latest Daredevil figure to add to the collection. This box is really big and the figure looks so cool. I like the numb chucks on this one as well. They can stay in the air and don’t just hang straight down. I really want to take this one out of the packaging. .…
