CO-WRITER/ARTIST: Art Baltazar CO-WRITER: Franco EDITOR: Kristy Quinn “SUPERMAN” CREATORS: Jerry Siegel & Joe ShusterTropes are so present in stories and story reviewing that I’m planning a new article series. I just need time to make the logo in my head into reality, but that’s just how I am. But some of them are rather subtle and we don’t think about them although they may be in the back of our minds. 4 Bizarrely Specific Rules That Exist in Movie Universes looks at the eating habits of coroners, the fate of dads (unless you’re in a Disney movie, then moms get to suffer as much or more often), how women don’t die like men (although I don’t want to see men die that way, either), and optical fashion trends….OF THE FUTURE FUTUREFUTURE FUTURE future future. Now I just need to find time to make that logo.

Truth is…I think I’m out of Free Comic Book Day jokes.
My weekend got all messed up thanks to a last-minute schedule change. I didn’t get to do anything for the Clutter Report but I did manage to get my live-tweet of my Free Comic Book Day haul. If you want to see a wrap-up, I gave Reviewers Unknown an exclusive review of what I picked up. I’ve been there over a year and I thought it was fair to give them something besides repeats from this site. Timing was also a factor.
I’m hoping to get the video I shot at Free Comic Book Day up on Wednesday, based on my current schedule. It’s an interview with Cesar Feliciano about his latest project, The Red Ten. I’ve been trying to get to talk to him for the past few comic conventions but we never seemed to connect. Keep your fingers crossed.

WRITER: John Barber PENCILER: Andrew Griffith INKER: Brian Shearer INK ASSISTS: Rick Ketcham COLORIST: Josh Perez SELECTED COVER ART: Casey W. Coller SELECTED COVER COLORIST: Joana LaFuente LETTERER: Shawn Lee EDITOR: Carlos GuzmanSo why do I have a picture of the back of some kid’s head? That head is a nine-year old version of the artist, Dave Trippe. I’m using it because I don’t want to spoil the amazing piece of artwork clicking on the picture will bring you to. “You’ll Be Safe Here” is the biggest understatement this kid will ever here, as the place is filled with tons of fiction’s greatest heroes, most superheroes but a few heroes of magic and outer space. In fact every time I look at this picture I see somebody new, some obscure and some I can’t identify but most some of fiction’s finest.
My personal favorites are the choice for Green Lantern, The Iron Giant, the classic suit Superman, and where they’re all hanging out. Twitter saw me gush all over this thing yesterday so click on the back of the kid’s head and enter the safest place in the multiverse. And don’t forget to check the description. He has links to a character guide, process video, and a wallpaper so you can use it as your desktop background. Like I did. You can even order a print, but I sadly haven’t the money to spare. I’m also not sure where I’d hang it but for a piece this awesome I’d darn well find a space!
