Baltimore Comic Con 2024 Review

This past weekend, I made the four hour trip down to Baltimore for the 25th edition of the Baltimore Comic Con. It was my first time ever visiting Baltimore for their annual convention; I had previously only ever been to the city for AEW’s Full Gear pay-per-view event in 2019. My visits to The Old Line State are typically at the other end of it … Continue reading Baltimore Comic Con 2024 Review

Stew’s Reviews: JLA by Grant Morrison

Something something Snyder Cut. Yeah, so the long-awaited Zack Snyder cut of Justice League is due to be released somewhat soon/eventually on HBO’s new streaming service. A lot of folks have been petitioning for this for quite some time, and I guess they are finally going to get it. I’m not one of them. I’m not opposed to the release, and if it makes people … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: JLA by Grant Morrison

Stew’s Reviews: Stars & S.T.R.I.P.E.

What is it with men and basements? There’s always the cliche about loser online trolls living in their parents’ basements, sure, but even adult men seem to have a fascination with basements. Whether they get turned into a “man cave” (and I really hate that term) or a work bench area or a gym or what, it just seems like men are inherently drawn to … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: Stars & S.T.R.I.P.E.

Jab’s Legion of Super-Heroes Reviews: Triplicate Girl & Bouncing Boy

I like those thigh-highs with the holes. That’s all I got. TRIPLICATE GIRL (Luornu Durgo, aka Duo Damsel, Triad & Una)Silver Age Triplicate Girl:-Triplicate Girl was one of the very first inductees of the Legion of Super-Heroes, which makes sense because she’s rather silly and not that well-thought-out as a concept (I mean, a regular girl turning into THREE PEOPLE? And she fights CRIME with … Continue reading Jab’s Legion of Super-Heroes Reviews: Triplicate Girl & Bouncing Boy

Jab’s Legion of Super-Heroes Reviews: Dream Girl & Star Boy

… Some characters are just kind of a GIFT to artists, ya know? DREAM GIRL (Nura Nal, aka Miss Terious, Dreamer)-Dream Girl’s another one of those curious “really? You want in with THAT power?” types that show up all over the Pre-Crisis DC Universe, so of course she has to save the whole team dozens of times. The rest of the time, she’s a Deanna … Continue reading Jab’s Legion of Super-Heroes Reviews: Dream Girl & Star Boy

Jab’s Legion of Super-Heroes Reviews: Ferro Lad, Chemical King & Kid Psycho

And now- a trio of Legionnaires most iconic for DYING! FERRO LAD (Andrew Nolan, aka Ferro)Ferro Lad- The Legion’s Sacrifice:-Ferro Lad is one of those little hints that the Legion series, in spite of it’s goofiness, was a little more serious than many other books at the time. Where else could a team book actually have a character DIE in one of his first missions? This was … Continue reading Jab’s Legion of Super-Heroes Reviews: Ferro Lad, Chemical King & Kid Psycho

Jab’s Legion of Super-Heroes Reviews: Element Lad & Shvaughn Erin

That curly hair, man. The first Aqualad has the same fandom. ELEMENT LAD (Jan Arrah, aka Alchemist, Progenitor)Silver Age Element Lad:-Element Lad has been a recurring Legion character since the early days, usually with some form of “E” on his chest, along with a variety of pink. With the ability to change ANYTHING into ANYTHING, he basically got focus every time the writers needed to … Continue reading Jab’s Legion of Super-Heroes Reviews: Element Lad & Shvaughn Erin

Jab’s Legion of Super-Heroes Reviews: Brainiac 5 & Magno

BRAINIAC 5 (Querl Dox, aka Brainiac 5.1)Brainiac 5- The Most Important Legionnaire Ever:-There is absolutely NOBODY on this team who is more important that Querl Dox (notably, ALWAYS called “Brainy” or “Brainiac 5” in every issue I have featuring the character). Every single aspect of the team more or less depends on him. Brainiac 5 is a fascinating concept, and matters more to the Legion … Continue reading Jab’s Legion of Super-Heroes Reviews: Brainiac 5 & Magno

Jab’s Legion of Super-Heroes Reviews: Colossal Boy & Chameleon Girl

COLOSSAL BOY (Gim Allon, aka Leviathan, Micro Lad)Silver Age:-Gim “Colossal Boy” Allon is one of those characters who always seemed to fit in funny, from what I’ve read up on him. Superboy, Ultra Boy & Mon-El were always more powerful, the original trio had that level of epicness to them, Brainiac was smarter, Blok & Chameleon Boy were iconic in appearance, and guys like Wildfire … Continue reading Jab’s Legion of Super-Heroes Reviews: Colossal Boy & Chameleon Girl
