Man, time does fly when the holidays set in, and while things like life, work, family and everything in between seeming to converge at the same time should be no excuse when ig comes to the blogosphere, it's all I got. So... sorry.
But we're back, and hopefully readership hasn't completely withered and died. So what's happened since the last post in nerdom? Let's see...
- David Tennant took his final bow as The Doctor.
- Avatar, despite being a mediocre movie story wise, looks set to take the most lucrative movie ever spot away from Titanic, proving that not only do movie-goers like so-so stuff as long as it looks pretty, but that James Cameron sold his soul to Mephisto in exchange for his marriage to Linda Hamilton.
- Captain America: Reborn was so chronically late to the point Steve Rogers is back in the Marvel U. without officially returning yet in the mini-series that is supposed to return him to cap status.
- Flash: Rebirth? Still makes no sense and sucks. Hard.
- While Blackest Night is still not a bad crossover as crossovers go, no one can really explain why Batman showed up for about three panels as a Black Lantern when he's not only not dead, but lost somewhere back in time.
- The greatest Phantom Menace review (and possibly movie review) of all time was released on YouTube.
Granted, more has very likely happened in the last month than I'm writing about here, but those seem to be the high points. If I missed something big, please, do be a dear, and let me know.
And just to give a preview of things to come, gird thy loins for a forthcoming Nerduary feature that we're loving calling Joe's Shitty Comics. Frequent Nerduary contributor Joe dropped off a box (an official
Spawn box no less) of, well, shitty comics that we'll delve into from time to time to review. And trust me. Most are bad. Real bad.
