Acculturated contributor Bryan Dik has been looking at life lessons we can gather from superheroes. In this one, he connects the calling of the hero, specifically the superheroes, with how many people feel a calling to a certain job or charity. What makes this a BW link is that he notes many motivations to becoming a superhero but, unlike certain comics writers/editor/creative directors, has reasons other than revenge for a loved one’s murder as his motivation. So not everyone has to be Batman!

“Carnage Unleashed” part 4 “Can’t Get No Relief” WRITER: Larry Hama PENCILER: Andrew Wildman INKER: Joe Rubinstein COLORIST: Tom Smith LETTERER: Ken Lopez EDITOR: Eric Fein GROUP EDITOR: Danny FingerothI don’t know if you caught me and my technical difficulties on the webcast Sinner Radio Saturday night. Instead of the usual round table discussion he has on his show we popped in for a few minutes, gave our thoughts, and left for the next person. Well, I was on there, because the host’s fiance is one of my RU comrades and I’m hoping I didn’t screw up the show too much. Anyway, if you did catch me there I’m building on what I said there.
So…”Day Of The Doctor”. It’s the obligatory Doctors team-up anniversary special, and the first one for the New Who series. It would look bad for Steven Moffat to make another Dimensions In Time. Thankfully, that was avoided. But how good a job did he do?
That’s one fancy pipe organ.

Tonight I’ll post my review of “Day Of The Doctor”, a meeting of two of the three New Who Doctors that answers the question of what happened during the Time War and the Doctor’s part in it. If you’ve already seen the episode then maybe you missed some of the Easter Eggs for fans of the show. Sidekickcast contributor PJ Montgomery found them for you. But did he find them all? If you spotted one added to his comments. (If you add it to mine he won’t see it.) I know he caught some I missed.
