Bad Boys 2. I’m ten years old, and she hands me a DVD of Bad Boys 2.
My aunt isn’t necessarily the most age appropriate gift-giver. One time for my brother’s 12th Birthday, she gave him a package containing 2nd-grade learning trivia cards. I think my brother’s a bone-head, but that’s a BIG four grade miss, even for his limited intellectual capacity.

At 10, my mom wouldn’t let me watch Batman & Robin (in retrospect, this was a godsend. I may have grown up hating Batman, Robin, and movies in general).

What about a mini tablet to save a few dollars? And what about the Kindle or Nook e-reader devices? What’s the best device for comic book reading?

Avengers: Endless Wartime is the first of Marvel’s new Original Graphic Novel series, and on the surface everything sounds like a huge win for Marvel fans. Comic book legend Warren Ellis writing an all-new, standalone Avengers graphic novel? I couldn’t pre-order the book fast enough.
Now that I’ve had time to read Endless Wartime, though, I’ve found it’s not quite the runaway success I was hoping. Is this graphic novel worth your dollars? Let’s take a closer look: [Read more…] about CBH Review: Avengers Endless Wartime New Graphic Novel
