COMICS PORTAL: ‘Crisis’ Fever

As I’m writing this, I’ve just completed watching the first episode of The CW’s Crisis on Infinite Earths event as well as the initial Aftermath show. Being a DC fan, I loved a lot of what I saw, and am grieving for the loss at the end of that first hour. This made me reflect on how DC handled things pre-event, and what they might have done better. And I dreamed a little bit about what could be.

COMICS PORTAL: Can Hero Teams Be Revived?

Comics Portal: Celebrating Batman Day 2019

This past Saturday, September 21, was the yearly celebration of DC’s best-known character, Batman. It was also part of the 80th anniversary event for the Dark Knight, and it received a lot of attention. I was interested in seeing how it would go, especially since Batman has been my favorite hero since I discovered his last name was my first name. Oh, and it was possible, no matter how unlikely, that he was someone I could emulate if I tried hard enough!

Just when I thought I’d seen everything possible in the comic con universes, along came Dragon Con! I had heard it was crowded in the past, and there were a lot of people there, but the benefits far outweighed any potential inconveniences!
