As a self-proclaimed Over Geek, I am the following: reflective, a rambler, introspective, a good listener, a dreamer, a friend indeed, slightly paranoid, a bit jaded, apathetic, confused, a thinker, partial Communists, a romantic, the son of George Louis Costanza and the nephew of Cosmo Kramer. I enjoy reading: scifi novels, Greek/Roman/Norse/Japanese myths, Arthurian legends, poems, mangas, simply put anything that will make me think. I am an admirer of the works of Akira Toriyama, Hideo Kojima, Jim Lee, Whilce Portacio, Ale Garza, Travis Charest, Osamu Tezuka (the god of anime), Mark Millar, Brian K. Vaughan, Geoff Johns, Garth Ennis, and last but not least, Grant Morrison.

The gauntlet has been dropped. I attribute this remarkable feat to Joss Whedon’s screenplay and the cast for the most part. You [...]

    Jack Kirby: The Man, The Myth, the Legend

    Jacob Kurtzberg, known to the world as Jack “The King” Kirby, was the unappreciated artistic genius and innovator. I hold him in the same regard as the equally legendary Osamu Tezuka, kamisama no manga (god of comics)/godfather of anime/Japanese Walt Disney. Both men revolutionized their respective fields, inspired and continue to inspire many generations. Joe [...]

    The Cabin In The Woods (Spoiler Free)

    When I first became aware of The Cabin In The Woods, I thought about the original Evil Dead film. Images of those wretched Deadite ghouls running through my head was enough to convince me to avoid it. (This can be attributed to my pathological and intense dislike of all things zombies). Fortunately I became aware [...]
