Crisis On Infinite Earths led to what’s called the “post-Crisis” DC Universe. Flashpoint’s aftermath had an official title, the New 52, although that number’s fluctuated over the years since it started. Siskoid’s Blog Of Geekery looks at where DC Comics and the DC Universe were in the first three years of both hard reboots of continuity.

BW Chats With Larry Kenney

BW Chats logo

I finally have a logo and intro for my one-on-one chat videos, BW Chats. So who are we chatting with today? Lion-O himself, Larry Kenney, spared a few minutes at 2013’s ComiCONN to discuss his career. And it only took a year before I finally had time to edit it. Man, things have been a pain lately, sometimes literally. Well, here at last is our interview.

Jake & Leon #218: “I Came Back For The Wheatcakes!”

Considering Peter's history with clones, anything's possible.

Considering Peter’s history with clones, anything’s possible.

We’ve all made that joke since Barry Allen and Bucky Barnes, two deaths that should never have been undone, were undone. I just did it as a comic strip.

I was hoping to have the 8 minute interview done by Saturday or today but editing is only mostly done. It’s already a year late as it is. I’m hoping to finish it up for Monday, and then some lighter articles. That was a lot of work on the JLA/Avengers postings. I didn’t even get anything up on Reviewers Unknown, although I plan to have the interview there. If you haven’t heard enough of JLA/Avengers there is my last review over at The Clutter Reports of the trade I was using for my reviews.

Best Scene Of This Week’s Reviews

Nice to see this happening FOR the good guys for a change.

Nice to see this happening FOR the good guys for a change.

Between all the writing I did last week and stuff I have to do offline next week, we’re going to be pretty light before the Friday Night Fights. I do have a commentary in mind, plus the next Chapter By Chapter installment, and hopefully getting the review video done for tomorrow. But don’t be surprised if Filler Videos don’t pop up.
