It is I, the Veruca Salt of comic book geeks returned to make more unrealistic demands in the hope of someday being appointed supreme ruler of the comic universe and given free reign to resurrect titles, bestow series on worthy characters, and create super groups with little more than a snap of my wee dainty [...]

Veruca Salt Speaks: Gimme These Comics Back NOW!
Posted on August 4, 2010 Written by Leave a Comment
If I had a magic wand, I’d wave it over lots of aspects of comics to create my ideal world – a world where great titles are never canceled, every character I fancy receives his or her own series, and super groups are formed at my mere whim. Unfortunately, I have yet to be given [...]

Posted on June 21, 2010 Written by Leave a Comment
If ever you had wondered how Iron Man might evolve and age, Too Much Free Time’s rendition was very telling and probably spot on. Until now, now that Marvel.com went ahead and reinvented Iron Man. And I really mean reinvent. To do so they got Alan Aldridge in and he went beyond what he ever [...]

I grew up outside of Boston, Mass, and when I was little, we lived in this two-story house off of Pleasant Street. It wasn’t much, but it did have a cool patio on the second story, which was pretty neat to me at the time. I was pretty young when we lived in that house, [...]
Alien Vs Pooh

One of my staples growing up was Winnie the Pooh. I remember my mother reading me stories about Christopher Robin and his buddy Pooh, and their adventures. It was a theme throughout most of my youth, really, with pooh-themed items running in the house for me, then for my sister. We loved that little guy. [...]

Posted on March 26, 2010 Written by Leave a Comment
Boy there’s a sentence I never figured I’d write. First, let’s do a little backstory. I’m not a Michael Cera fan really, although I have seen most of his movies. He tends to play the same character in all of them – lovable doofus who falls in love and gets the girl. That’s why originally, [...]
