1 on Superman: The Official Cookbook reviewIn my years of writing for this and other websites, I’ve reviewed a wide range of products. Single-issue comics and graphic novels, of course, along with prose novels, reference books, card and board games, action figures and statues, movies, and television series. You know what I’ve also reviewed a surprising number of? Cookbooks. Not like…
The Multiverse is all the rage these days, for better or worse, but it's really not difficult to see why. With an endless supply of characters comes an endless supply of variations on those characters. It's great reading stories where Batman teams up with his fellow heroes, but you know what's better than Batman? Two…
When Insight Editions comes out with a new book, I'm going to take notice. They consistently put out some of my favorite books about pop culture in particular, and DC Comics specifically. Everything I've read that they've published is fantastic, but what's truly impressive just how diverse their output is, from comprehensive histories to movie…
When people ask "what is the greatest car in pop culture?", you might get a few different answers. The ECTO-1 is pretty awesome, as are KITT and the Delorean from Back to the Future. There is only one correct answer, though, and that is the Batmobile. But which Batmobile? Yes. From comics to television to…
When it’s said you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, it can generally mean one of two things: don’t dismiss it if it looks bland, and don’t be deceived if it looks exciting. It’s what’s in the pages that give the book meaning and merit, so a good cover should be seen as a…
Over the past few years, there's hardly been a mainstream motion picture that's gone through so many ups and downs as The Flash, which finally hit screens on June 16. After multiple scripts, directors, and other creators came on board and, ultimately, left the project, director Andy Muschietti finally seemed to "crack the code" to…
It’s almost been a full year since Matt Reeves’ The Batman hit theaters, and even still the film lingers in the pop culture consciousness. It was a massive hit, after all, with a sequel already in the works and a Penguin spin-off series set to go into production soon. Given that Batman is a pretty…
Is there anything better than sitting down by the fireplace on a cold day, wrapping yourself up in a nice warm blanket, and reading a book? It's one of life's simple pleasures, to be sure, and the good folks at Insight Editions are always offering some stellar reading material. This year is no exception, as…
Everyone needs something that allows them to let off some steam. Some people play sports, others fish, while some cook or craft or play video games. While these activities can go hand in hand with hobbies, what one person may engage in for excitement and entertainment, another does so for the purposes of relaxation. After…
Everyone needs to unwind and relax every now and then. Some people do so by watching television, making crafts, cooking, or even performing maintenance on an old car. Nobody finds peace and relaxation in the exact same way, so it's good to know that there's plenty out there for different tastes and preferences. In recent…
It's the countdown to Christmas! The time for cold weather (or "slightly chillier weather," depending on where you live), Christmas lights, carols, peace on Earth, and goodwill toward men is here, and I couldn't be more excited. And really, what better way is there to welcome the Advent season than with Batman? ...okay, there are…
Christmas time is almost here, and it’s the most wonderful time of the year. Sure, “spooky season” is fun, and Thanksgiving is a wonderful day to just gorge on some incredible food, but Christmas is something special. There’s obviously the true meaning of the season, with love, hope, and joy to the world, but the…
Have you ever driven by a major city, one with lots of tall buildings and cross-streets, and imagined what it would be like to swing between the skyscrapers, perch on an ominous gargoyle, and just survey everything around you? I certainly have, and I can guarantee you the reason for that is because of all…
As far as fictional cities go, I’m pretty sure we’d all like to visit Gotham City, right? Like, maybe not actually live there, what with the murder clowns and the ice guy and at least three different avian-themed crime bosses, but visiting would be pretty cool. We could see the Wayne Enterprises building, visit the…
When looking for high-quality collectibles, there's hardly a name that earns more reverence and awe than Sideshow. Largely seen as the gold standard, the crème de la crème of figures and collectibles, Sideshow has a sterling reputation that is matched only by its exclusivity. Not meant to be a slight in any way, but their…
There's a pretty popular joke about online recipes that I'm sure you've heard: before the author of said recipe actually shares the ingredient list and steps to make the specified dish, they write hundreds of words about their history with the recipe, their travels around the world to discover such a culinary delight, or their…
Much has been written about the greatness of Batman: The Animated Series. Heck, I’ve probably written at least a few thousand words celebrating the series on this site alone, so it’s safe to say that the landmark cartoon is no stranger to effusive praise. What’s so great about the show, though, is that it’s more…
One of the great joys of attending San Diego Comic-Con is visiting the Sideshow Collectibles booth. For one, it’s massive, taking up quite a bit of square footage on the convention floor. Really, though, the best part about the booth is seeing all of the incredible products on display. Even separated by plexiglass, you can…
Wonder Woman is pretty much everywhere in popular culture these days, and it’s easy to see why. She did, after all, have a highly acclaimed and incredibly successful movie that has a sequel coming sometime soon, her comic series has had a string of killer creative teams telling equally killer stories, and she’s been prominent…
There are few publishers that get me more excited about new product than Insight Editions. Their output is consistently excellent, with attractive volumes that range from cookbooks to art collections to the anatomical breakdowns of different superheroes. When Insight announced that they were teaming up with Mondo for a book that collected a bunch of…
