Josh Reviews Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths
I know I’m turning into a bit of a broken record regarding the continuing series of animated DC Universe DVDs, but I can’t really help it. I’m really enjoying the direct-to-DVD series so far, and I certainly understand that I should count my blessings that these un
Kaotic Chic: Continuing My Look Back at Powers!
Yesterday I began writing about the terrific comic book series Powers, by Brian Michael Bendis and Michael Avon Oeming. I’ve had great fun, over the past few weeks, re-reading the series since the very beginning. Volume I: I have no idea what prompted me to pick up issue 1 of
