Why “Assassination Classroom” Has Replaced “Teen Titans” For Me

By Ken Godberson III | Feb 25, 2016 | Longform

Originally, I was going to review “Teen Titans #17” this week since I kind of threw down the gauntlet and, for as Nietchzte once said: “Gaze ye not into the abyss, lest the abyss put in a pretty good writer only for three issues.” (May be paraphrasing a bit) However, with the announcement of DC’s […]

A Young Scientist Is Exposed to Hard Water Fumes, You Won’t Believe What Happens Next

By Mike Romeo | Feb 11, 2016 | Annotations

Every superhero has an origin story. Murdered parents, destroyed home world, that sort of thing. Actually, come to think of it, DC’s (arguably) biggest heroes all have origins that relate to their parents. Batman’s parents died in front of him. Superman’s parents (also dead) sent him to earth to escape their doomed planet. Wonder Woman’s […]

Autopsy of the Awful: DC’s “Teen Titans” Problem

By Ken Godberson III | Nov 10, 2015 | Longform

I have a confession to make: I was not fully on board with DC’s whole “DCYou” initiative they launched after “Convergence”, essentially a large line-up of new books in an effort to appeal to new demographics (specifically, those that didn’t compose the middle-age white, straight, male demographic). And now, it’s not because of some “Oh, […]

By Matthew Garcia | Nov 3, 2015 | Longform

On November 3, 1957, a stray dog named Kudryavka became the first animal to reach the Earth’s orbit. She never returned. It was never part of the plan for her to return. Just one month previous, on October 4, 1957, the Soviets successfully launched the first spacecraft into the planet’s orbit: it was called Sputnik […]
