Wonder Woman #18 and #19
With these two issues it’s now official: Wonder Woman is my favorite New 52 series. Brian Azzarello’s Amazonian epic had won my affection since the first issue, but it was issue #18 that won my heart, and #19 that had [...]
What Warner Brothers Should do with the DC Cinematic Universe
News has recently broken that Warner Brothers has thrown out their latest script, for Justice League, which was written by Will Beall. Yes, the same Will Beall, who recently wrote the rather disappointing Gangster Squad. Warner Brothers has also come [...]
Wonder Woman #11 and #12
Fun fact: “arco iris” is Spanish for rainbow. Even funner fact: In Greek mythology, Iris was the Goddess of Rainbows. So roughly, “arco iris” means “the bow, or arc, of Iris.” It’s little things like this that makes me love [...]
