A Year in Haven

Prologue: The World Between

Renold Graves stood in the middle of a library. It seemed to be a personal library; that much became obvious to him instantly. Every wall was covered in books stacked to the ceiling in their shelves. The longer Renold stood in the room, the less it seemed to have a defined shape and size. It was always changing, in subtle ways that were near impossible for Renold’s mind to process. And none of this disturbed him. It all seemed so natural. All of a sudden, his hand moved quickly to feel his chest. He felt the cloth underneath his finger tips. Standing there, Renold was confused. Was he feeling for a heartbeat? Was something missing? Everything seemed to haze away from him as he stood in the middle of the library.

Saturday's post

I see that it is saturday, which means...nothing. the weekends are when I'm prepping the weeks worth's of entries. Come to the blog on Monday for something special.

Random Grab Bag 04/19/13

 So first off, what is Random Grab Bag? Mostly what ever I feel like covering of what I've read, seen or just about anything else that lands on my desk for the week. Mostly though I have a feeling this will be a handful of comics that I want to talk about, what ever my pulls for the week were. So this week we have Daredevil 25, Green Lantern New Guardians 19, and Justice League 19.

Yay...

 

Amazing Reads: Amazing Fantasy #15

First and foremost, Welcome!

I'm here doing something a little different and hopefully entertaining. I figured I'd  go back into the past. I have a stack of Amazing Spider-Man Essentials. So that will be what this is. A review/recap/comedy routine of Amazing Spider-Man and his spin-offs.

Like Doctor Who featured earlier this week, I'm also a fan of Spider-Man. I have a pretty good working knowledge of Spidey (Better than DW that's for sure) but I'm still a laymen in other ways. So the purpose of these is to explore old comics from the point of view of someone like me, who grew up on 90s cartoons and movies than really the history of the comics.

Our first feature: Amazing Fantasy #15

I think I've seen this somewhere before.

Amazing Reads: Prologue

For anyone making the travel over from Panel by Panel, you may recognize a few features you've already read. Specifically Amazing Reads. I'm reposting most of the Amazing Reads I've already done, on a structured/weekly basis. This will be Amazing Fantasy through Amazing Spider-Man #11. I have several others Amazing Reads, including a novel, and the 50th Anniversary issues, that may me posted as well.

Now because these are reprints, and I'm not a very good editor, you may catch references to podcasts, or even other articles, that don't appear on this site. I apologize, and if you see any, please feel free to tell me.

What is Amazing Reads? Well wait till tomorrow to really get an idea.

Doctor Who: Shroud of Sorrow

I'm sorry this is an irregular thing, and frankly it shouldn't be. But let's not worry about that. Let's look at what I'm talking about this time.

 

Now for the first part of this discussion, let's talk about my general interest in Doctor Who. I like to think of myself as a fan making his way up the ranks. Meaning I like the show, a whole bunch. I've developed favorite Doctors and roughly forty-two DVDs of the classic series. I watch the new series and I enjoy it.

Teething Pains

So, second post in over a month. Obviously I'm not going about this as quickly as I can, and should, and I apologize. That being said, I figured a quick pointless post saying I'm still here won't aswade you, so...yeah.

My comic endorsement of the week then. Hawkeye #9. It comes out this week. Have I read a preview of this book? No. Why am I recommending this book then. Because it's bloody hell awesome!
