"Doomsday Clock" Review

DC Comics has been in a rather screwed-up state for a while, haven't they? At least in my humble opinion ever since 2011's "Flashpoint" series and the introduction of "The New 52" DC has been a steady decline. I have no clue if this is true or not, but again in my humble opinion, this reboot of the universe caused me to view Grant Morrison's "Final Crisis" as the series finale to The DC Universe. And DC Comics has rebooted itself once again with DC Rebirth back in 2016 culminating in the miniseries in question, "Doomsday Clock". "Doomsday Clock" serves as an epilogue to the DC Rebirth storyline as well as a sequel to Alan Moore's maxiseries "Watchmen". Talk about big shoes to fill, I need not discuss the impact "Watchmen" had on the comic book scene at large both negative and positives and I need not discuss the utter and absolute failure the HBO series was (which was itself a sequel to "Watchmen"). Instead, I'm going to focus this review on what "Doomsday Clock" tried to do, and explain what it should have done (not doing it in the first place notwithstanding). So join me in this rabbit hole of craziness we call "Doomsday Clock"...

BAM, ANIME!! The Weirdness Of Anime

I saw a meme a while back and it got me thinking about the nature of anime. I'll share the meme below after the cut but do we ever really think about just how strange anime really is. Not to say that western cartoons aren't strange, many of them are, but anime just has this other realm of strangeness that no one really points out...except for now...here we go!

Interview With: FunwithPunko

Very rarely do I get jealous, especially when it comes to writing, only 3 times have I've got jealous of something someone else has written ("Chronicle" being one from recent memory) well now you can add another name to that list. While "Tower Of God" is getting quite a bit of shine these days (and it should)for putting Webtoons on the map, Webtoons is full of other gems, none more impressive than a little (currently ongoing series) called "Stagtown" drawn and written by Miss Marty LeGrow a.k.a FunwithPunko (as she's known). "Stagtown" is a currently ongoing horror series that is well-paced, well-written, and did I mention ongoing? I was lucky enough to get ahold of the author herself to ask her some pressing questions about the series, her plans for the future and whether or not she actually wears Spongebob underwear...and yes, that's important! Let's get to it!

What "L O S T" Taught Me About Writing...

I've written numerous articles about "L O S T" defending her against naysayers, explaining her finale to people who for whatever reason still believe it was purgatory all along...(Ugh!). But today I won't be defending her lady's honor, instead today I'll be sharing with you all what "L O S T" has taught me as a writer. It'd be a lie to say that the writing of "L O S T" is the contention of many as some believe they were making it up as they go, changing things at the last minute, etc. But despite all that these are some genuine things that writers should consider. Check it out.

Remembering "Xenosaga"

It's hard to think that it's been more than a decade since "Xenosaga" been released. For those of you outside of the know, "Xenosaga" is an RPG game debuting in 2003 and if it wasn't for my brother I wouldn't even be aware of this amazing series. "Xenosaga" has created many fond memories for me and in this post, I'm gonna take a walk down memory lane with my fellow "Xenosaga" fans and hopefully make people aware of this AMAZING, one of a kind series!
